Hi there, I'm Derrick, a tribal member of the Tsalagi Nation and Depth Psychotherapist. My practice focuses on individuals, couples, and Native American/Indigenous peoples through culturally responsible practices. I specialize in helping others overcome depression, PTSD, childhood wounds, relationship issues, and navigating the complexities of life. I'm here to guide you through the depths of your past, helping you to mend old wounds and navigate the intricacies of relationships. If you're feeling overwhelmed by all of life's challenges, I am here for you.

Therapy with me is relaxed and collaborative. I help people who are experiencing overwhelm, low mood, and anxiety find solutions to better weather life’s ups and downs. Depression, anxiety, and trauma can all lead to feelings of hopelessness and isolation. When life becomes too much, we can retreat into ourselves and shy away from our support networks. We may never have had much of a formal support network to begin with and we struggle to establish meaningful relationships due to past trauma. Or, perhaps you are struggling with vicarious trauma or burnout related to your work serving others?

I realize that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and I am here to support you through your healing journey, one that is unique to you and shaped by you. I am passionate about helping others heal and have experience working with PTSD, generational trauma, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I firmly believe in the impact that our past experiences have on how we think, feel, and view ourselves, but they do not need to define who we are. Together, we can identify old patterns of behavior, unhelpful thoughts, and the impact of past trauma to support you in moving forward into a new place of wellness.

I am passionate about helping people struggling with issues caused by trauma & abuse. These often times include a loss of safety, confusing emotional experiences, and difficulty creating and maintaining healthy long term relationships.

Welcome. You are ready for change. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. You want something different or know something more is possible. Whether related to body, mind, spirit, or relationship struggles, I am honored to support you in your journey. In my work, I collaborate with each client to foster a space in which healing, growth, and understanding can support lasting change. These internal changes often translate into a life full of meaning and purpose.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes in joining with you as you embark upon new discoveries of yourself and those around you. I employ the idea of us working together and taking a journey that may appear to be rough in the beginning, but rest assured the rough places will soon be made smoothed. As we journey together in agreement there lies a hopeful, fulfilled, and enlightened road ahead. I am here to serve the worried well and worried heart. I will work to assist you in discovering new perspectives as you grow and restore balance in your life.

I am a professional counselor associate in the state of Oregon dedicated to helping clients process and access inner healing. I consider my role to be helping you understand yourself more deeply so that you can make informed decisions about your life.

While I treat a wide variety of psychological disorders, I also specialize in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing pre- and post-natal mood and anxiety disorders. Getting pregnant, giving birth, and raising a child are all stressful experiences and depression and anxiety are actually quite common. My goal is to assist clients in learning how to manage stress, and provide clients with emotional support and the right skills to help clients and/or their partners thrive.

Despite what Instagram, TikTok, or an opinionated in-law may have us believe, none of us are born knowing how to parent, and many of us are actively working on changing intergenerational patterns in our own families in order to better support the growth and development of our children, in essence, reparenting ourselves. This process is a difficult one, and not meant to be done in isolation. Together we can look at how you were parented, how you want to parent, and how to bridge any gaps in between.

“Why do I feel stuck in my career?” “Why is it so hard to open up with my friends and partner?” “How can I help my child feel confident?” Psychotherapy is an opportunity to reclaim your future as well as help your children and family enjoy productive, loving relationships. Together, we develop a conversation focused upon understanding what interferes with your parenting or a sense of meaning in both your personal and professional life.

My orientation to counseling, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy is essentially a strengths perspective with a solution focus. The strengths perspective acknowledges all the strengths, resources and instinctual imperatives within an individual that have helped the individual get to the present moment.The strengths perspective helps me scan for the resources needed to resolve or modfy the treatment concern.

Hi! My name is Amber and I am an LCSW in Oregon and Washington. I work with teens and adults particularly around trauma and more severe symptoms of anxiety and depression. I also work with those with chronic pain, comorbid disorders, body image issues, gender questions, neurodivergence, and self-harm. I have a particular affinity for people who have endured trauma and who feel like they are outsiders. I pride myself in being culturally sensitive and welcoming to all, and someone who works as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am an approved clinical supervisor in Oregon for CSWAs, MFTAs, and LPCAs.

Working with those who struggle in the areas of relationship, self-esteem, depression and anxiety. Often times this is the result of some type of unprocessed life event or trauma that may include dysfunctional families, sex abuse, abandonment, grief, loss, shame, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Bipolar Disorder,or other disorders. My purpose as a counselor is to provide a safe place where together we will explore your conscious and unconscious awareness. I believe this may provide insight into the areas of life where you may be having difficulty. Let me help you find happiness and overall well being. -Kathy

The world we live in does not set us up to intuitively connect with ourselves. The demands of productivity can erode our most important relationship: the one we cultivate with ourselves. Maybe you've arrived face-to-face with a new or unfamiliar part of yourself. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, lonely, anxious, depressed, unworthy, or not (fill in the blank) enough. You might be someone seeking support in navigating relational difficulties, past or present. Wherever you’ve found yourself, it can help having someone beside you as you begin to make sense of the push and pull of life's tides.

In a world that demands constant achievement and productivity, finding solace and embracing imperfections can seem like an insurmountable task. Dr. Will Hwang is a compassionate and highly skilled therapist who specializes in guiding individuals who struggle with perfectionism, are chronic procrastinators, and can't shake the feeling that they are a "failure" or "not good enough." Will creates a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore the underlying causes of their perfectionistic tendencies. He sees clients ages 18 and older.

I work with folx with chronic illness and C-PTSD through individual counseling for adults and ages 14+; family/couples counseling for working with chronic illness within relationships. Other issues include depression, anxiety, life transitions including end of life, grief, ADHD, career and empowerment, creativity and expression, identity issues, performance enhancement, sexuality, spiritual explorations. My style is warm, direct, lively, and compassionate. I challenge clients to step out of their comfort zones and see therapy not as an end in itself, but as a means to develop a full life, even if illness is part of it.
