Mensch Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
I’m an individual therapist working with adults online across Oregon. Many of my clients arrive feeling stuck, overthinking, and quietly exhausted; carrying trauma, anxiety, or grief while still being the one everyone relies on. Sometimes it’s the fallout of growing up as the responsible one, perfectionism that won’t shut off, or a nervous system that lives on high alert. Even after yoga, exercise, and stacks of books have taken you as far as they can, tings still linger. My style is collaborative, curious, and authentic. I don’t pile on pressure. I bring clarity, warmth, and a shame-free lane forward. Together we’ll uncover the patterns beneath the overwhelmed feeling: people-pleasing, pushing through burnout, and the ways your body keeps the score. I specialize in helping adults build steadier days, clearer boundaries, and kinder self-talk. You don’t have to keep performing “I’m fine” to deserve help. If you’re ready to move past surface fixes and feel like yourself again, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Maddy Engelfried
Pre-Licensed Professional
I have a background in art therapy as well as counseling, and I take a warm, compassionate approach to therapy. I’m deeply interested in people, and I like to lead with my curiosity, both in getting to know clients and in helping to understand what they’re going through. Research has shown that what makes therapy work is the therapeutic relationship, so I focus on cultivating that with every client I work with. I think every behavior has a reason behind it. We don’t make ourselves miserable because we want to! However, the coping mechanisms that fit one circumstance don’t always transfer well to the rest of our lives. By figuring out why we do the things we do and what we can do instead, we can start to shift our way of being in the world. A large part of my work is helping clients learn how to process difficult feelings about these changes. Therapy is hard work, but with creativity and humor, we can make real, lasting changes to our lives and relationships.
