Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy to adults across Oregon, Washington, Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey. As a certified Clinical Telehealth Mental Health Provider, I specialize in delivering trauma-informed care — including EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy — through a virtual platform. For many people, doing this work from the safety and familiarity of their own home is genuinely therapeutic. Your nervous system stays more regulated, there's no commute or waiting room, and after a deep session you're already somewhere safe to land.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Do you ever feel like you’re carrying too much, trying to hold it all together even when you’re running on empty? Perhaps you and your partner keep circling the same issues, unable to reach resolution, or maybe you’re struggling to confront trauma or how to be your authentic self. I’m a therapist who believes that healing happens in relationship when we feel safe enough to be seen and supported. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need a place that feels safe enough to be honest, and someone who gets that healing is messy, nonlinear, and deeply human. I work with individuals and couples who want something real, a space where you can show up as you are and start untangling what’s been weighing you down. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about slowing down, finding your voice, and building a life that feels more connected and true to you.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
You don’t have to keep doing life on hard mode.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or like your emotions go from 0 to 100 really fast—you’re not alone. College can be a lot, and most people are just figuring it out as they go.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you understand what’s actually going on inside so you can feel more in control of your reactions, your relationships, and your choices.
Using practical, real-life tools (not just talking in circles), we’ll work on things like:
managing stress and anxiety
handling intense emotions without shutting down or blowing up
setting boundaries without the guilt
feeling more confident in who you are
You don’t have to have everything figured out to start.
Whether you’re going through something tough or just tired of feeling the way you’ve been feeling, this can be a space to reset, regroup, and move forward in a way that actually feels good.
You deserve support that helps you feel better—not just get by.

Online therapy allows for your sessions to be integrated into you life without the hassle of traveling to and from appointments. It allows for your sessions to occur not only in a location you feel more at ease, it also allows for creature comforts, such as your pet(s) to easily attend your session and be a support for you.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Telehealth psychology support for life adjustments, trauma, relationships, and body issues. With technology, you can experience all the benefits of in-person therapy in the comfort and privacy of your own home and have continuity of care when you travel. It can be especially helpful to those who find it challenging to travel to an office for appointments due to location, work, children at home, lifestyle, or other practical or personal reasons. You may be located abroad or be a professional who travels, telehealth allows you to get the support and resources and meet you where your life is at.
While there are multiple ways that counseling can take place online, I work primarily with face-to-face video conferencing via Zoom and, on occasion, telephone sessions.
I always hold my sessions in a quiet and confidential space, giving you the same confidentiality & professionalism that you experience within an office setting.
Most, if not all, of my clients, find virtual sessions to be highly effective and convenient. They allow for the comfort and safety of therapy in your own space, and no travel time is often less vulnerable than needing to go to an office. Research of multiple studies finds that online therapy is equally effective as in-person for most cases. That being said I always advocate for what works best for each individual and it is wonderful to have choices to find your best path whichever that may be.
If you are not tech-savvy or anxious about using technology, I'll make it as seamless as possible. I have chosen a platform that is easy to use, and I am happy to assist you with any questions or concerns.
A common concern I hear from clients regarding online therapy is finding a quiet and/or confidential space when you’re homebound with children, and/or family members or roommates. Please plan this out in advance so you have quiet and privacy during your session.
Since it is so convenient many times people forget to allow themselves a few minutes to "switch hats" and allow themselves a few breaths and get settled into being present and in the head/body space for your session.
Headphones or AirPods can often make audio clearer or provide more privacy, but are not necessary.
Given that video sessions can be conducted on your smartphone, clients have found it helpful to go to a park, connect from wherever you may be, and/or walk around your neighborhood. Get creative and support yourself. Find a private space that allows you to receive support no matter where you are.
You are welcome to have pets join your space if you find that comforting and supporting, and you may see my fellow feline/canine therapists join in one of our sessions on my end.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
If you've ever spent the first few sessions of therapy explaining your pronouns, your relationship structure, or why your brain works the way it does before you could even get to the actual hard stuff, I really do get it. I'm Sarah Wolfer, and I built Courageous You so that part doesn't have to happen anymore. I'm a queer, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, and kink-informed therapist offering Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Somatic EMDR therapy, and affirming relationship therapy via telehealth across Washington, Idaho, and Florida. You deserve a therapist who already speaks your language and I'd love to be that person for you.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Move Toward Healing and Growth
Are you ready to move forward and create real change in your life? Therapy offers the space to heal, gain insight, and build the confidence to live more fully. Together, we’ll work to release the pain and patterns that have kept you stuck, so you can develop a stronger, happier, and more grounded version of yourself.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming—especially when old wounds continue to echo in the present. Unresolved childhood experiences can show up as anxiety, depression, addiction, or struggles in relationships. When your emotional or physical needs weren’t met early on, it can leave lasting imprints of fear, shame, or powerlessness.
I deeply understand how this feels. My own journey of healing and professional training have given me both empathy and the tools to guide others through their own process of recovery and growth.
You don’t have to carry the past alone. Together, we can help you reconnect with your strength, release old pain, and step into the life you were meant to live.

I help survivors of trauma and difficult childhoods reclaim the peaceful, joyous life they deserve. Survivors can be stuck in states of anxiety, depression or shame, have unusual medical or sleep issues, and may not even remember the event(s). Focus issues, low self-esteem/assertiveness and problems trusting are also common. If this is you, please know we can work towards freeing you from the invisible grip of the past. We'll first establish a safe, open relationship and help you reconnect to the peace and strength in your body.
