All your energy goes into your work and your family. You do your best, but showing up for everyone else while hiding your own heavy heart and constantly delaying your own unmet needs has left you feeling trapped and isolated. You've become so skilled at neglecting yourself and masking your own pain that you're not sure what is real and what is performance anymore. Your battle is internal and unseen. Daily, you're fighting to find light while living in what feels like a constant shadow, covering your joy and suffocating your sense of peace. How did this happen? You had goals. Dreams. Ambition. Where did they go?

Clients see me for a range of goals, challenges, traumas or current lifestyle issues. Some have a vague feeling that something is missing from their life's experience, some are clear what is not working but feel stuck in attempts to shift and some clients are therapy-savvy and looking for a supportive therapeutic presence.

Do you struggle feeling connected with others, feeling like you have no balance in your life, or feel your life just isn't what it used to be?

I like to work with families, including children of all ages. I also work with individual adults and occasional couples. I also like to work with military families. I am also trained in EMDR therapy and have even tried some of this therapy style with adolescents. I am also trained in perinatal mood disorders.

Health, is about establishing and maintaining connections to self, community, our spirituality and those we love. When these connections are damaged by trauma, pain, fear, or other trials of life, we sometimes need help to rebuild, reconnect, and strengthen our current connections. My name is David Root. I am a licensed professional counselor and I would be honored to help with this journey.

As an adult survivor of child abuse who overcame a hard childhood to create success, you are good at problem solving and powering through, but you experience a disconnection from your feelings, your body, and your relationships. You are good at pulling it together, putting your feelings aside and focusing to get things done. When you aren’t numb inside, you feel anxious until you find a way to numb out again. Sometimes the things you do to numb out: over-drinking, overeating, overworking, make you feel worse. You love your partner, but you often feel far away from them emotionally. It’s hard to receive touch from someone you love.

“There’s something wrong with me.” It doesn’t matter how good things get – these thoughts are always lurking in the back of your mind. All the good you do and all the positive things you achieve in your life are never enough for you to feel accomplished. The deeper you sink into these feelings, the more alienated you become. Life feels hopeless and you’re on the verge of resigning to living with that uneasy ball in the pit of your stomach. Your baseline is a constant state of emotional duck-and-cover. It’s exhausting. It’s discouraging. It’s isolating. And worst of all, you can’t seem to make it stop.

I come from a diverse background in education, personal experience, and training. I fully believe in treating the whole person in order to address the presenting problem. My approach comes from such therapy styles to include CBT, DBT, Rogerian, EMDR, ACT, CCPT, Filial therapy, and the work of Gottman. I try to meet each client where they are when we start our work together and believe the client is the expert on themselves. I hope to be able to offer insight, education, and intervention to all clients and am continually seeking new research and training to add to my repertoire.

I am a psychologist with specialty in providing assessment and treatment of adults. Areas of expertise include treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other anxiety conditions. I have specialized training and experience in working with military populations and treatment of combat-related mental health conditions. I further enjoy working with adult dependents of military personnel. Additionally, I have proficiency in working with individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses, including Bipolar Disorder and psychotic illnesses.

I’m here to help you find freedom, peace and ease within the changes of your life. To help you understand the processes of your mind and how to use the wisdom of experiencing that understanding to heal. I have been working in the field of counseling since 2000 having received my Masters of Arts (MA) in Counseling Psychology from Lewis and Clark College. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon and Alaska and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington. I offer online individual counseling to adults and adolescents in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon.

Going through the motions and feeling overwhelmed in day to day tasks and relationships can be exhausting. Your ability to be the person you once were can seem out of reach, or never even seems to have existed. The emotions you feel seem to be running the show and you desire change. Hopelessness, worry, and sadness do not have to be your story. You want to feel at peace, empowered, and confident. I can help you identify areas in your life that may be contributing to some of your current stressors, frustrations and relational challenges and how to move forward. I work with adolescents and adult women.

Are you looking to develop more self-awareness, reduce stress and find life more meaningful? Therapy can be a useful tool to aid in this process. Our work together may include processing life experiences, identify current emotional responses, and engaging in skill building work to improve coping. Together, we can work through the current challenges you may be facing and identify positive paths toward change and healing.

As a Doctor of Psychology, I'm honored to teach my clients how to be their own therapist. I work with my clients to acknowledge and understand the patterns of mind-body union (thinking, feeling, behaving patterns) that may be causing stagnation and pain. I teach clients the self-governance skills necessary to discipline the nervous system, manage thinking and feeling patterns, and direct behavioral outcomes to align with a desired / ideal version of self. The transformative nature of this work is evident in one's felt and lived daily experience.
