Over the past 13+ years I have worked everywhere from residential and intensive in-home programs to outpatient and independent living working with people of all ages and their families to help them better understand the roots of their struggles, the impact of trauma on development, and practice of strategies that help them to achieve their goals and live happier lives.

Currently, my focus is on providing individual EMDR both in person and virtually as well as family therapy through my foundations in Collaborative Problem Solving."

I am certified in Collaborative Problem Solving and have years of experience utilizing a number of other intensive, evidence-based interventions.

Regardless of approach, there is nothing more satisfying than giving kids and families the tools to succeed by whatever metric is most meaningful to them.

As someone who identifies as bicultural, I can empathize with the many barriers associated with finding a provider who can understand various cultural differences that take place in our world. I want to help you reach your goals in a way that works best for you and your learning style. My theoretical framework is person centered and trauma informed, to provide you with the most personalized experience. I like to incorporate multiple therapy perspectives that include; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Mindfulness.

I have experience working in crisis services as well as outpatient Telehealth settings. My educational background includes completing a Masters in Applied Psychological Science from Pacific University. During my studies, I participated in a year-long clinical internship that focused on supporting people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety using the evidence based practice of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I enjoy working with people of various backgrounds who are struggling to manage their symptoms of anxiety or depression and are looking for support in taking back control of their lives.

I am committed to creating an environment that is inclusive and respectful to all people regardless of race, color, culture, religion, spiritual practice, sex, age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

I was born in Portland and grew up in the Northwest, graduating from Linfield College in McMinnville, OR before working as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor in Oregon for 17 years. I returned to graduate school at mid-life and earned a Masters Degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University in 2006. I completed my clinical license (LCSW) in Montana, while working at the largest elementary school in the state for 8 years, before returning to Oregon to be closer to my family.

While in Montana I practiced individual and group therapy with children and their families. I also coached and refereed youth and middle school football for 10 years and use motivational interviewing and life coaching techniques in my daily practice.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), which is short term in nature and focuses on providing you tools and new ways to think about your problems, so you can begin to start making needed changes in your life. There are no magic pills or painless solutions to most life issues, but CBT can give you the tools you need to help you make the small and larger changes needed for your life to start improving. It is up to you. 

I help people who realize that some things in their life are not working and need to change. The world has shifted and we need to adapt to rapidly changing events beyond our control; as well as get some daily relief from the ongoing stress, anxiety, poor sleep and depression many people face daily. 

Since February 2020 I have been doing remote Teletherapy with adults and older teens and found it works to help people change their lives. Be prepared to do your homework, I always give you more to do between our sessions, so you can progress at your own pace.

My name is Michael Kurle (pronounced Curlee) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  I am very passionate about helping, advocating, and encouraging people and this has led me to my chosen career of therapy.  I am a recent Oregon transplant, having moved from my native state of Oklahoma as I have always had this pull on me to move to the Pacific Northwest and with everything that happened with COVID we made the decision to sell our home and uproot 40+ years of our life and move.

I practice utilizing several different treatment “modalities” or methods.  My preferred method is to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT for short.  CBT is the most widely used treatment modality and has the most research proving how effective it is, especially with things such as anxiety and depression.  I also am trained in EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is an amazing therapy tool that is gaining more and more popularity in working with trauma related issues and is being expanded to include phobias, depression, and anxiety.  Motivational Interviewing and Trauma Focused CBT are also modalities I am trained in and experienced with when those interventions best suit what someone needs.

I started my educational journey with a Bachelors degree in Developmental Psychology and proceeded to join the workforce then.  I spent almost a decade working in various aspects in the Oklahoma Department of Human Services as a social worker working with children and families and then followed my path to be a therapist and earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Oklahoma.  I spent nearly two decades working with children and families and in the past couple of years I have turned my focus towards adults and helping adults of all ages.

Age ranges for individual and family services are from High School through the entirety of adulthood.  Seeking help and being open to explore things in therapy requires bravery and a desire to heal, both of which you have if you are reading this.  I would be honored if you would allow me to join you as you travel towards health and happiness.

I’m a mental health therapist committed to helping adults learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and others and create the lives they want to live. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, thoughts, habits and beliefs around ourselves and the lives we lead.

I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals. Our time together is yours, and I take the opportunity to partner with you as sacred. I use a variety of approaches in helping adults overcome and identify and develop their own strengths and tools to care for their mental health. I enjoy using art and writing and creative options as well as a variety of other resources.

I truly believe in the individual and do not believe that one size fits all! You are unique and your approach to wellness and optimal mental health should be unique, too. I’m passionate about helping you find the tools you need and to develop those strengths you already possess. I truly believe we all have the ability within ourselves to create the lives we want to have, and I want to work with you to help you develop yours.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you along your journey!

Dealing with challenges and stressors is an unavoidable part of our human experience, and it can certainly leave an unwanted impact in our life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I aim to look at the whole person, understanding how all the aspects of our lives come together to impact our minds and bodies. Healing happens when all parts of the person are aligned and integrated.

I take a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, working with clients to improve distress tolerance and emotion regulation, heal their nervous system, and strengthen core beliefs and values. I am passionate about working with females; in adolescence, young adulthood, and into their 30s. My therapeutic orientation draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and somatic-based practices. 

My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to express what is on their minds, learn beneficial coping skills, understand the mind-body connection, and build a sense of connection with themselves and others.

Hi, I am a dedicated Professional Counseling Associate working towards my independent licensure. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling, yoga, hiking, concerts, and spending time with loved ones.

My academic journey began at Sonoma State University, where I completed my bachelor's degree in Human Development with a focus on Autism Studies. Later, I pursued a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, concentrating on Children and Adolescents with Disorders, at Grand Canyon University. I have 10 years of experience working with neuro-diverse individuals and their families providing educational, mental and behavioral support in home-based, community, and school environments. I currently focus on working with those experiencing a variety of needs including support in ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions.

I take a person centered approach and value creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment that empowers clients to pursue personal growth. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship that will facilitate healing and progress towards their goals. In my practice, I draw upon several effective modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Play-based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These methods enable me to tailor my services to meet the diverse needs of my clients, ensuring an individualized and compassionate approach to therapy.

I look forward to the opportunity to accompany you on your journey towards self-discovery and growth.
