I embrace an expansive view of the individual and collaborate with clients to explore how their sense of self, past experiences, environment, and culture, impacts their current moods, relationships, experiences, and self-beliefs. We will work together in identifying what areas of life you would like to further explore to best reach your goals/growth in this process of self-discovery.

Marcy Irene Jenks
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, RN, NCC, LPC, LMHC
Feelings of anxiety and fear can be heightened during this time in which we live. These are common reactions to situations that feel overwhelming and out of control. Learning to manage and redirect anxious energy is part of what we can focus on in our counseling sessions, inviting the panic to show us what it needs and thus allow for integration and calming of the panic experience.

For sensitive and neurodivergent people, anxiety can sometimes be a constant presence. Together we'll work to quiet the symptoms, to understand whether your present or your past is more the cause, and what that vigilance is trying to protect you from.

Anxiety
Elyse Gardner, MA, LPCA
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPCA
Anxiety often shows up as a body that won't settle, a mind that won't stop scanning for what's next. I help clients work with anxiety at a felt level, not just a cognitive one, using somatic and gestalt approaches to notice what's happening as it happens. Over time, you build a real sense of steadiness you can return to, rather than white-knuckling through it.

Anxiety
Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
These are difficult times, and it's natural to feel anxious or scared. In fact, fear has a biological purpose; however, it can become stuck on overdrive. In psychotherapy, we'll practice noticing and naming fear as it shows up in daily life, learn to discern when action (versus mindful awareness or acceptance) is needed, and experiment with self-compassionate, skillful responses.

Anxiety
Mary Mayfield
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety often leaves people feeling overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of worry, or disconnected from the life they want to live. Using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and, when appropriate, EMDR, I help clients understand the underlying patterns contributing to anxiety while developing practical skills to move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Anxiety
Meghan Hanes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety can show up as overthinking, perfectionism, difficulty relaxing, constant worry, or feeling like you can never quite shut your mind off. Together, we'll explore both the underlying causes of your anxiety and practical ways to help your nervous system feel safer and more regulated. The goal isn't simply to manage anxiety, but to help you feel more present, confident, and in control of your life.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
