Teletherapy for 97227

My approach to therapy is that one size does not fit all, and as of 2020, the psychological, philosophical, moral, and emotional blocks and barriers to living are realer than ever. My approach is a non-nonjudgemental, nondiagnostic in nature, although you might have DSM disorder I am not counseling your diagnosis but working with you as a human being. The issues of therapy have to do with you and your feelings and thoughts about how are you doing inside, how do you balance in a crisis like now. What is it your dreaming or afraid of? Can we explore all the ways to manage your world regardless of the conflicts in the outer world?

Many people come to therapy seeking relief from painful symptoms, relationship issues and self-defeating patterns. They may feel alone and isolated in their suffering. I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates aloneness and facilitates connection, healing and positive change. My style is relational, warm and forthright. My clients achieve more than just symptom relief -- they also grow in their capacity to feel safe and connected with others, and they experience improved self-esteem and identity.

It is time. You are experiencing an internal nudge to examine your life. You want results- to feel more alive, awake and connected to yourself and a life congruent with what matters to you. You want to rediscover (or find for the first time) the best version of yourself. Our sessions will focus on what it means to feel content, aware, fulfilled and live an intentional life. The potential is wired within you. The transformational process has already started as you search for the right match. I provide uniquely focused and steady guidance for you to better understand yourself and live life differently. Contact me to start.

My ideal clients are young to middle-aged men who are looking for balance, clarity, a sense of belonging, and a new healthy way of being masculine. I work with archetypal models and ideas, and ritual. I work with clients that could benefit from a coaching model, such as those feeling stuck in starting a business, wanting greater success, or those looking to access flow states, greater authenticity, peak performance, etc.. I also work with poor self-esteem or self-image difficulties, anxiety/social anxiety, and social confidence. I utilize mindfulness techniques, emotional mastery, nature-based therapy, narrative approaches, etc.

You’re trying your best to hold it all together but right now you feel exhausted, overwhelmed and stuck. You are struggling to find meaning and unsure of what to do next. You’ve done everything you “should” be doing but your life isn’t unfolding in the way that you hoped it would. You feel unmotivated, disengaged from life, unsatisfied, uninspired and inhibited. Perhaps you secretly wonder if you’re a bad person or if something is wrong with you. You’re not sure exactly why you feel this way. It doesn’t add up for you. To complicate things further, you beat yourself up for not feeling the way that you think you should.

Currently Taking New Clients in Oregon and Washington states. My passion is to walk alongside individuals to support them in finding their strengths.

I think that self-investing and community care are essential to our mental wellness, and together I will walk alongside you on your journey of finding that contentment you are searching for. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to process through and collaborate in finding those safe coping strategies to achieve your goals.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process, but if you're here you've already taken the first difficult steps towards making a change. That in itself is commendable.

If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, uncertain, or just plain stuck, you do not have to go it alone. I work with individuals and couples who are doing their best to navigate life's difficulties, but need some extra support to get through their current challenges. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what is causing you to feel stuck and what would help you become "unstuck." I trust people’s inherent strength, and ability to bounce back from way more than we might imagine possible. I see myself as a supportive guide, facilitating a process of self inquiry, creating shared meaning, and making needed changes in life.

If you have wondered why your infant or child: does not bond or connect with you, has behavior problems, does not respect you, seems angry or withdrawn, has temper tantrums often, has excessive or no energy, is vindictive, is not connected with the family, or you ask yourself am I a good parent? Then please seek my support. As a young adult, do you feel: anxious, often worried, rejected, withdrawn, sad, depressed, or discriminated against? If so, please seek my support. Please come Talk With Love!

How do you speak to yourself when you’re going through a hard time? Is your tone that of a loving friend, or do you tend to beat yourself up or numb what you’re feeling? Through no fault of our own, many of us grew up learning to do the latter. Yet, when life’s challenges hit – disappointment, grief, trauma - this way of showing up to our pain can leave us feeling even more confused, stuck, and alone. That’s why I am passionate about helping people adopt a kinder stance toward their suffering and create connection and authenticity in their relationships.

I provide a safe and supportive space for people of all ages to feel heard and to express themselves, to talk about the things that are hard to talk about, and to increase awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so they can make the changes they want to see. I balance holding space with skill-building to move towards specific and meaningful goals that we create collaboratively. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as providing parenting guidance and support.

While some people seek therapy to address a specific problem such as anxiety or depression, others use therapy as an aid for personal growth, learning about themselves, or reaching their full potential. You may feel stuck and unsure of how to break out of old habits or rigid thought patterns. Therapy can help give you a vision and the necessary tools to move from living to thriving. I want clients to feel free to be themselves and get in touch with what matters most. Built on a safe and trusting relationship, we can work together to achieve your goals and help you life a rewarding and meaningful life.

Regular books closed - accepting clients for gender-affirming letters of support. The past few years have led to major increases in stress, social isolation and depression or anxiety, and collective trauma (often leaving an unequal burden on Black, Indigenous, and other people of color). This can make it difficult to find joy, experience pleasure, and be active participants in our own lives. I provide evidenced-based supportive therapy for trans and gender-nonconforming young people (6-18 years old) and young adults (18-30s) who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to significant life events.

I have a passion for working with adolescents and their families to navigate understanding and to promote growth as a system. My experience thus far includes a great emphasis on eating disorders and embodiment.

I think of my approach to helping people as a collaborative and educational one. Most people who come in for therapy are wanting to make a change in their lives but are struggling in some manor. I feel that the best way to implement change is through one's thoughts (cognitions), feelings, and behaviors-this kind of approach is known as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT). A person needs to welcome the challenges and opportunities in his or her life with a clear and calm mind - These are the cognitive and behavioral aspects of CBT.

Greetings! I am Vyshika M. Willis, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to fostering healing and growth, with a deep commitment to providing compassionate and culturally sensitive counseling. I understand the significance of finding a safe, inclusive, and understanding space to freely explore your thoughts and emotions. Drawing from systems theory, I help clients uncover patterns, dynamics, and interconnections within their lives. This approach empowers clients to make meaningful changes that extend beyond the therapy room.

Over time, we all develop stories and ideas about ourselves, others, or the world. For some of us, these ideas may be born from experiences of marginalization and harm based on who we are; maybe we begin to believe we’re not good enough, not worthy of love, or there’s something wrong with us. Even if these stories were meant to, and probably did, protect us at some time, they're still exhausting to deal with and can lead to lots of worrying and stress, avoidance, numbing, or difficulty in our relationships. You've likely been trying your best to manage it all and are ready try something different.

I work with children, teens, and young adults. There are so many ways a young person or family can get stuck. Maybe you’re a caregiver caught in a loop with a child who has trouble with tantrums, sleep, or toileting. Or you’re a middle-schooler, teen, or young adult who can’t do the stuff you care about most because you’re feeling sad, anxious, angry, or having a hard time getting along with people. Or you might be struggling to heal from trauma, manage health problems, or navigate neurodiversity in an unsupportive world. It’s not your fault that you got stuck and it’s not your fault that nothing you tried has worked just yet.

I provide focused, time-limited psychotherapy for individuals who are stuck and who want to make changes in their lives. This approach allows my clients to make real and impactful changes over a relatively short period of time. My commitment is to help the people I work with live lives that are more meaningful and fulfilling. I utilize empirically supported treatments, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, an evidence-based therapy. Most importantly, I strive to always treat clients with dignity, respect, and compassion as I work to help them create for themselves the kind of meaningful life they desire.
