Mental health & Substance Abuse. If you're an individual, or in a relationship, and are tired of the same cycles playing out in your life and are ready for someone to challenge you in a supportive way then we may be a good fit! Therapy is a reciprocal relationship where rapport, safety, boundaries, healthy communication and coping skills are established between us, utilized throughout our work and then implemented into your system outside of session. We work through trauma, barriers and stressors to accomplish your personal, professional or relational goals from an approach that is client-lead, strength-based and solution-focused.

Hi, I am Joshua Beavers, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I am excited to work alongside you! I completed a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2015. I have worked with clients in person at various mental health clinics and in a virtual environment since 2015. My focus in sessions is to help clients learn to regulate their emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and build a foundation of skills that will help them with long-term success. I'm always excited to see them recognize the positive changes that can come from meeting with a counselor.

With over 35 years of experience, I work skillfully with adults, children, families & couples. I am here to compassionately facilitate your learning to live your life with emotional freedom, purpose, creativity, passion & joy! Get in touch with the strength & beauty of your Inner Self & develop more satisfying relationships. Examine your thinking & beliefs & develop mindfulness, transforming your moods & your life. I use a gentle therapeutic style which is an eclectic, psychodynamic, humanistic, transpersonal & holistic wellness approach.

In the course of my counseling career I have never heard “The one thing in in life I really enjoy is struggling with my anxiety/depression/low self-esteem/trauma/etc…” Because, that would be silly. But that’s what many people do, just that, struggle, fight and put their time and energy into focusing on something that they would swear to anyone who would listen that they don’t like in the first place. You deserve to get unstuck, move forward, or past things that have been taking up far more time and space in your life then you want. I believe in working with people to help them focus their energy on the things that matter most.

I know that you have walked through an entire lifetime of experience to get to this point. The path you have taken has now brought you to an impasse, and I promise you do not have to take these next steps on your journey alone. My name is Renee, and I am a body-based Licensed Professional Counselor in the Portland area. I would like to join you on this adventure you call your life. Together we can collaborate and discover new embodied ways of being, you can reconnect to the life force that flows through you, and I will be there as you uncover the clues to your present and future.

The word counseling can be given a negative view. We live in a society where there is judgement, lack of empathy, and everyone focusing on self; that can be a lonely, overwhelming life to live. Knowing these trials, my goal as a counselor is to walk with you through your process of healing and restoration. This means that counseling is simply focusing on your strengths, and addressing the steps that you feel are best to make a new direction to have an overflow of more greatness in life. Everyone needs a boost of support to get through each day. So, lets take that first step together!

I work very collaboratively with my clients to find a balance between starting where you are and providing the support you need to move towards the goals you have in mind. I work with a variety of issues including learning to cope with depression, life transitions, improving relationships, and learning to cope with significant losses. I also specialize in treating anxiety/stress and substance abuse/dependence. In my experience, a match between a therapist and client is an important part of moving toward your goals. I find it helpful to talk briefly by phone about the concerns you want to address.

YOU are the KEY component to your relationships! Experience healing, renew strength & generate peace in your life today. I'm not your stereotypical couch psychologist, sitting in a chair saying 'how does that make you feel, and tell me more.' I'll engage with you to help you improve your life. I'm also not totally removed from the challenges you may be facing. As a husband, father, & business owner I'm out there living life & facing some of those same challenges. There is hope, and there is change available for you. Call me, let's get your life back!

Since you are reading this profile, you are likely feeling a need for change. Fortunately, it is unnecessary to live life with fear, confusion, or loneliness. Just because you can't see how to get there doesn't mean it can't be done. I would be honored to walk this path of healing with you. Borrow from my hope and experience that things CAN be different. Whatever block you may be experiencing is simply a signal that your body and mind wants to heal. Together we can interpret those signals and create a healing dialogue.

Welcome! I provide support, compassion, and expertise to guide you in the process of self awareness. I provide a warm environment that encourages you to realize your full potential. I believe we all have the capability to create the life we want to live. I will help you discover what blocks your life's development. Counseling is an evolving process, which does not happen along the same path for each individual. However, most clients strive for the same thing, "to be happy." I work in a collaborative, strength's based fashion to help you improve your life and your relationships. Life truly can be Content.

I understand reaching out for help is not easy and how much courage and hard work it takes for people to make real change, find hope, and create a meaningful life. I specialize in helping people who have troubled relationships, low self-esteem, addiction, depression, and anxiety. I have many years of experience working with clients in sorting out how mood (e.g., depression and anxiety), personality, and substance use interfere with changing behavior and reaching goals.

Are you struggling with painful emotions, troubling thoughts, unwanted behaviors, relationship difficulties, or disabling physical conditions like chronic pain? Therapy can help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified-Clinical Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Social Worker, with decades of counseling experience. I offer individual and group therapy, psycho-education and consulting for adults experiencing mental health, substance abuse, or chronic health difficulties. I collaborate with you, building on your strengths, to help you explore new insights, skills and solutions. My approach is holistic, compassionate, non-judgmental, and integrative. I would be honored to join your healing journey.

I am deeply passionate about helping individuals who find themselves experiencing challenging life changes and transitions. They may be grappling with issues related to trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, or the complexities of grief. As a second-generation immigrant, I am also passionate about helping individuals navigate multi-generational family dynamics and commitments, while also deepening their understanding of their own identity and experiences.

I believe that everyone’s journey is unique, and that’s why my therapeutic process begins by meeting my clients where they are at. I utilize a strength-based approach, tapping into my client’s inherent strengths and resilience to empower them to navigate life’s changes. Throughout our sessions, I strive to create a safe and empathic space where active listening and mindfulness are key. By actively listening to my clients and practicing mindfulness together, we can explore their thoughts and emotions with compassion and curiosity, working towards lasting healing and growth.

I believe that people entering into a therapeutic relationship have made an empowering decision to invest and promote healthy and meaningful changes in their lives. Successful therapy requires honesty, transparency, trust, and collaboratively working towards goals that promote healthy living and optimal well-being. I employ a variety of evidence-based counseling practices, with the intent of customizing each approach to match the client and their healing journey. I have experience in working with individuals struggling with mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, severe mental illness, stress, life transitions, and addiction
