Therapists for college students near Portland, OR

I provide individual therapy for adults on issues of anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and/or feelings, self-criticism, grief, and relationship dissatisfaction. Our time together will be engaging, thought provoking, and supportive. I also understand counseling can be painful at times. I am committed to being present alongside you during these moments and to honor your exploration into where you have been, where you are, and where you would like to go. I can assist you in growing self-compassion, unhooking from painful thoughts and feelings, developing healthy coping skills, and supporting your pursuits of a meaningful life. We can approach our work together using a variety of frameworks and I will adapt to meet your needs and preferences. I have additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy. I aim to be queer/LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally sensitive, anti-racist, trauma informed, and weight inclusive. I value taking a curious and non-judgmental stance with all of my clients. My approach is person-centered, relational, and collaborative.

Hi there, I'm Molly. I am passionate about creating a therapeutic relationship where there is trust, comfort, and authenticity in order for there to be feelings of safety as we dive into deeper work together. I like to bring humor into my practice and often find myself laughing with clients which can help lighten things up as we work on challenging topics. I am passionate about using evidence based practices and helping to stay on track with my client’s through keeping our objective in sight. I work hard to create a space that is non judgemental, where people can show up exactly as they are. I incorporate mindfulness and meditation skills to help people build a deep sense of self-awareness, self-trust, and groundedness. I am LGBTQIA2+ allied and committed to providing an inclusive, affirming space for all identities.

I offer weekly in-person and virtual therapy sessions at a sliding scale of $10-50. My office is in the Kerns neighborhood in Portland. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. You may feel stuck in patterns you’re ready to break free from but unsure how to start. Using the collaborative LifeMaps treatment plan, we will explore how your past has shaped your present and work to build self-awareness, uncover strengths, and foster change. My experience as a gay man raised in the South gives me a deeper understanding of how culture, identity, and family can shape who we become. My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present in order to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be. By tracing present-day patterns back to their origins and understanding how they’ve developed over time, psychodynamic therapy helps people live more meaningful lives. Starting therapy can feel uncertain, especially when life feels heavy or confusing. My hope is that our work gives you space to slow down and look more closely at what’s happening beneath the surface. Together we’ll notice patterns that keep repeating and explore where they come from, so that new choices can begin to take shape. I see therapy as a collaboration built trust, curiosity, and honesty. My approach is warm and steady, with room for humor when it fits. I believe that change begins when you can speak freely, even about things that feel uncomfortable or hard to name. Over time, that process can bring relief, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself and others.

In this world full of stressors, it is common to feel emotionally and mentally maxed out, disconnected or disheartened. My goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe and comfortable being fully you, and can practice cultivating a relationship with yourself that is compassionate, curious, resourced, and hopeful. I work with adults navigating relationship issues past or present, anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult life transitions, grief, and more. Together we can process what you’ve been through and build the capacity to grow into the person you wish to become. I primarily draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which supports the development of psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and value-based living; and psychodynamic therapy, which helps uncover how past experiences shape our current patterns, desires, and unmet needs. Whether you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, brokenhearted, or simply looking for a space to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, I’m here to support you. I’ll challenge you when needed, always with care and respect, and encourage you every step of the way with warmth and humor.

You find yourself numb, feeling as though life is passing you by and you're just going through the motions. You have this idea of how your life is supposed to be, but you feel stuck and not in control over your free will. Your mind is your worst enemy, and it's spiraling out of control. You may feel guilt, shame, heaviness, and overwhelm. I hope to create a safe space for you to explore those hardwired thoughts and beliefs. You deserve to experience life in a new light, to reduce suffering, and freedom to find peace in your well-being. There are many ways to experience life, and everyone's journey is different. I hope to grow our therapeutic relationship from a place of openness, trust, gentleness, and compassion. I take a collaborative approach towards counseling, blending techniques to best serve each person and welcoming feedback to increase trust and safety. I integrate several orientations to achieve a well-rounded perspective to address the stressors that life has brought onto you. I'll guide you with skills and tools to help cope better with painful events and build resiliency.

I am deeply committed to supporting people of all identities, especially neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ individuals, towards greater healing and empowerment. I will spend a considerable amount of time learning more about you, what your values are, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. My goal is to provide a safe enough space where we can build trust together and work towards your goals. I want to empower those who struggle with anxiety, depression, family dysfunction, relational challenges, managing daily stress, and trauma. As much as we may wish we could get rid of difficult emotions, I offer gentle exploration towards what it can feel like to begin to develop new relationships with unwanted feelings. I have an extensive background in mindfulness and offer clients a variety of mindfulness tools (that aren't too precious). Self compassion will be at the heart of our work. I believe that the most healing aspect of therapy is the connection between the therapist and the client. I offer warmth, patience, mediocre metaphors, and occasional humor. I feel honored and privileged to get to work with clients and it feels especially sweet when people begin to feel comfortable opening up.

I support college students whether you’re just starting out, returning to school, or navigating a major life shift through anxiety, trauma, and the many transitions that come with this chapter of life. College can feel overwhelming in ways people don’t always talk about. The pressure to succeed, uncertainty about the future, shifting relationships, and trying to figure out who you are it’s a lot to carry. Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of everything you’ve been holding. Together, we’ll work to: Understand patterns that keep you feeling stuck or overwhelmed Learn how to regulate anxiety, stress, and intense emotions Build coping tools that actually fit your daily life as a student Strengthen your sense of identity, confidence, and direction My approach blends Culturally Adaptive CBT, person-centered therapy, and somatic (body-based) practices so we’re not just talking about change, we’re helping your mind and body actually experience it. I work with college students who may be: Feeling anxious, burnt out, or constantly “on edge” Struggling to balance school, work, and personal life Carrying trauma or past experiences that still feel present Navigating friendships, dating, or family expectations Questioning identity, purpose, or direction in life First-generation or BIPOC students looking for a culturally safe, understanding space Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My work is based on Mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, and Gestalt Therapy. All are adept approaches to increasing awareness of our embodied experience and discovering more authentic ways of living a fulfilling life. My approach works to help clients develop resiliency, emotional flexibility, and explore the careful balance between acceptance and change. I support clients’ process of deepening into a more compassionate and loving relationship with themselves and the world by accepting who they truly are. Simultaneously, I challenge people to examine and move beyond rigid, habitual beliefs or behaviors and develop more alive, creative, and connective ways of being in the world.

College can be an amazing and exciting time while also being a time of a lot of transition and acclimating to new routines and responsibilities. I work with students to help ease the challenge that those transitions can bring whether you are on your own for the first time, or have decided to go back and get your degree at a later point in life. If you are experiencing stressors that are causing symptoms of anxiety or depression or are just looking for someone you can talk to please feel free to reach out. I'm happy to schedule a consultation if you are interested in learning more about my practice or to find out if we would be a good fit.

I provide online therapy for individuals and couples in Oregon and Washington, and in person therapy in the Hood River area. Therapy is an opportunity to engage with someone authentically and without judgement. Someone who cares about you though is not attached to the choices you make as a friend or family member might be. Someone with many years of experience and training in mental health, who is actively engaged in their own personal growth journey as well. I provide therapy that is relational, present focused, grounded in experience, and centered in the therapeutic alliance. The relationship between myself and my client(s) is the foundation of the work and is built on trust and a genuine connection. Though the work emerges out of the here and now experience between client(s) and therapist, it also investigates how the past shapes our character, choices, and life in the present. I am a Gestalt therapist and utilize concepts such as compassion, acceptance, and mindfulness to guide the work. I often incorporate EMDR and IFS approaches. I value and respect difference and work with clients from all backgrounds, orientations, and cultures. My goal in the work is to raise awareness so that the client has more agency in their life. Clients’ goals typically include feeling better, gaining insight, or managing life more skillfully. Common presenting issues are depression, anxiety, trauma responses, difficulty navigating relationships, managing emotions, and more. The work can be long term and in depth, and/or it can be shorter term and focused on tangible change. I am happy to offer a free brief phone consultation so we can decide if we are a good fit.
