Gottman Method Couples Therapists in Eugene, OR

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. is a group of highly trained professionals providing mental health services based in Columbus, Ohio. We work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, focusing on young adults. We are also experts in LGBTQIA+ and ENM/ polyamory. Many of our clients have found great success in many facets of their lives but struggle to manage their emotions and stress. We are particularly sensitive to those experiencing life transitions like moving, a breakup, changing jobs, graduating, or beginning a new relationship when self-doubt and increased anxiety and depression can emerge. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based treatment that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related so that they can begin making targeted and sustainable changes. Our clinicians blend person-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectal behavior therapy, motivational interviewing and acceptance, and commitment therapy. We help clients understand their physical and emotional responses to stressors and learn to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of change. Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc. focuses on ensuring our clients see real progress. We are warm, laid back, and affirming. We are sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges, and we work closely with clients to reframe the narrative of their life in a way that increases self-confidence and self-compassion. Our priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, heard, and like an equal partner in the therapeutic process. We offer the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a core component of your self-care calendar.

You are a mom who is struggling. You are used to having it all together and since baby, it just seems to be a little too much. Things are dropping like they never used to, you are reacting rather than responding and you can feel things slipping, with no space leftover for you. I know because I have been there! Come get the support you need from someone who you do not have to explain things to.

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.
