Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Bend, OR

Please visit my business website: www.wolfordcounseling.com I am both a Licensed Professional Counselor(#C2212)and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#T0637) in the State of Oregon. I am often called 'down to earth' and 'realistic' by my current and past clients. this is my approach to therapy with Individuals, couples, families and youth. I concentrate on creating new, achievable goals with my clients. Communication and trust are at the heart of healthier relationships with oneself and with others and I have been effective in helping my clients find new levels of happiness and respect.

I provide individual therapy to adults. I offer a collaborative, direct and non-judgmental approach empowering you to use your strengths, expertise and abilities to find meaning and purpose during life's toughest transitions. Through the dynamic relationship of therapy, I can help you uncover frustrating patterns and behaviors, build insight and awareness to develop and sustain healthier relationships, and move towards healing. Taking the next step to talk with someone is vulnerable, but often life altering and healing in itself.

Greetings! My name is Kate Melnychuk, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Eugene, Oregon with 5 years of experience providing psychotherapy. I work with adults and families seeking support with a range of needs in therapy, including anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ related issues, and relational stress. I utilize the modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused therapy, and mindfulness based practices to support clients in achieving their goals to work towards fulfillment and feeling better.

You’re doing your best given your circumstances, awareness, & resources. Growth, and a fulfilling, meaningful life is possible when the conditions work for your unique needs. If you have ADHD/Autism, relationship, medical, or identity issues, anxiety, depression, or trauma, you may want your life back- or to feel "normal” for once. From the heavy depths of despair to the bubbly heights of playfulness, what makes life absurd, beautiful, & tragic will be acknowledged, not ignored. “Weird” celebrated, not shamed. I’ll help you embrace the unknown, adapt to change, & move forward.

My life journey has profoundly influenced my dedication to empowering individuals on their path to personal growth and fulfillment. I am committed to working collaboratively with people, assisting them in realizing their full potential and facilitating transformative experiences. Often, our lives are marked by patterns rooted in shame and trauma, hindering our ability to embrace authenticity and joy. Unbeknownst to us, we may be navigating the world with a wounded heart. However, recognizing this reality opens the door to hope.

The only constant in life is change. This constant is felt in the passage of time, in recovery, in the building and breaking of relationships, in employment, in impact from trauma, in family, in health, in ability, in society, in the world. At Blue Skies Counseling I am dedicated to supporting the navigation of change, through person focused counseling.

Struggling with anxiety, PTSD or other issues related to trauma or challenging past experiences? I specialize in therapies, including EMDR, that can provide effective relief from the struggle. I am also skilled and experienced in supporting adults and their family members struggling with ADHD. If your challenges feel more intense or harder to ignore these days, you are not alone. Fortunately therapy is just as available to you now- I am experienced with remote, video-based counseling, and even hesitant clients have found these sessions just as effective as in-person therapy.

It's tough out there, isn't it? Perhaps you're struggling with feelings of sadness, isolation, futility, and emptiness. Perhaps you find yourself worrying about the past, present, future, or who you are. You may struggle with trauma or reflexive self-criticism. Maybe you've tried therapy before, and been disappointed by formulaic notions of growth or ideal living. It's certainly easy to feel discouraged. Yet healing is still possible, and I believe that goal-directed and evidence-based therapy is an effective way of facilitating that process.

I am currently only accepting certain clients for my waitlist. I do have spots available for my Parenting Classes. I specialize in helping children, teens, and adults manage and decrease their anxiety. While anxiety can be a part of daily life, at times it becomes debilitating or distressing. I work with my clients to find a way to balance daily stress while still finding enjoyment in life. I utilize evidence-based practices that are based on science and measurable goals. I like my clients to feel involved in the process of choosing goals and measuring their own progress and successes.

We all need extra support sometimes. No matter what you're dealing with, my goal is to listen to what you need and help you get there. I do this by identifying patterns and offering new perspectives, so that you can better understand and love yourself. I bring my authenticity and humor into therapy to create a safe and nonjudgmental space.

Deep inside each of us is a reservoir of wisdom, of knowing what is true for us. Granted, that inner wisdom maybe be layered over with negative messages, unexamined beliefs acquired years ago, noise from the busy-ness of our lives and the chaos of the world, or personal doubt, lack of confidence, confusion. Being present in the body so that we can access that inner wisdom is a crucial aspect of counseling and doing so can help us find the way forward in life. Learning to be fully present in the moment is a gift we can give ourselves as we live our lives and move toward healing and well-being.

If you've found yourself here, then I imagine you are looking for support to make a change in your life. It can be so challenging when you are shifting through all of these profiles to understand who can help you and how. It is true, there is not one counselor that is a great fit for each person. However, with over 12 years of therapist experience, I have seen that therapy REALLY works! I have also noticed that underneath a lot of anxiety, depression, eating disorders and relationship concerns is trauma. I specialize in working with trauma using EMDR. I help people move from a life of pain to one where they experience thriving.

From the moment we are born, our experiences and relationships shape the way we value ourselves, others, and the world around us. As we grow, some of what we learn from our experiences may be unresolved, or unprocessed, leaving us feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, angry, and/or confused. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own experience, and as your therapist, I want to help you explore your experiences, dive into strong emotions, and identify patterns in a way that makes sense to you, to help you better understand who you are, where you come from, and where you want to go.
