Gestalt Therapists in Eugene, OR

I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story. I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

I am certified Eating Disorders therapist. I have worked as a mental health therapist for 10 years, working with a wide variety of people including those with severe and persistent mental health challenges.

I help people who've been running on empty come back to their bodies and their own sense of steadiness. Whether that shows up as anxiety, burnout, or the aftermath of a psychedelic experience that hasn't fully settled, my somatic and gestalt approach meets you where you actually are, not where you think you should be. If you're ready to stop overriding what your body already knows, reach out for a free consultation.

I have been helping my clients reach their goals since 1983 as a Clinician and Clinical Supervisor, Adjunct Psychology Professor, County Director of Anger Management. I am a Martial Arts Grand Master (8th Dan Black Belt), and have been a full time martial arts instructor for 46 years

Most high performers don't have a strategy problem. They have an identity problem. The beliefs, triggers, and automatic responses running in the background are the real ceiling and talking about them only gets you so far. I'm Jay Shaw, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and creator of Identity 2.0 Neural Reprogramming, based in Richardson, TX and serving the greater Dallas area and clients nationwide. My work targets the subconscious architecture driving your patterns and replaces it at the root. A systematic rebuild across 12 dimensions of identity tailored specifically to you. In-person and virtual options available. If you're done managing what you want eliminated, book a strategy call at hypnosisdallastx.com.

Eugene is home to the University of Oregon and has a strong progressive, arts-driven identity, with a notably high density of therapists relative to its population and a community that generally holds therapy in high regard. The city's significant homelessness crisis, economic inequality, and substance use challenges sit in some tension with its progressive reputation, and therapists in Eugene often work across the full spectrum of economic circumstance. Lane County Behavioral Health provides publicly funded services, while a robust private therapy sector caters to university faculty, students, healthcare workers, and the outdoor recreation and arts communities. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma, identity and life transitions, and the stresses of living in a city grappling openly with housing insecurity and addiction alongside an otherwise strong quality of life.
