Kel Lash
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, CLC
I love working with people who desire to live from their hearts. I'm passionate about self- forgiveness (letting go of meaning) and correcting the myths of forgiveness that we have been taught. People who desire to see the unconditional love in themselves and others and let go of meaning they make in their minds that blocks them from being their happiest, most peaceful, authentic selves. If you have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges that seem to hold you back in life, and want a way to let these thoughts go and live in the present moment, I'm likely a great fit for you. Clients describe me as calm, compassionate, intuitive and out of the box.

Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
Do you experience a lot of shame, anxiety, or trust issues? My main specialty is religious trauma, and whether you've experienced this kind of trauma or not, I work extensively with these sort of "trauma-adjacent" issues that affect people in their daily lives. Many folx grew up learning harmful lessons about themselves and their relationships, and now they're stuck in difficult patterns.
I've been there, and I can help. Not all therapists understand what religious and childhood trauma is like, especially "lower-case 't' trauma" when you can't point to one single explanation for why something was harmful to you. A lot of religious trauma therapists are also Christian; this doesn't mean that they're bad at what they do, but you might feel the need to work with someone from a more agnostic or skeptical worldview.

Lyubov Gonina
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCAT, ATR-BC, NCC
Lyubov Gonina, MA, NCC, LPC, ATR-BC, LCAT
Licensed Professional Counselor & Board-Certified Art Therapist
I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and thrive when supported with care and understanding. With over a decade of experience, I provide individual and group counseling for adults, children, and families addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is integrative and client-centered, blending cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology with art therapy methods that encourage expression and self-discovery.
I hold a Master’s degree in Art Therapy Counseling from Marylhurst University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Art from Portland State University. Over the years, I’ve worked in community mental health, medical, and educational settings, and currently offer therapy, supervision, and consultation in private practice.
Originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding of resilience, cultural identity, and adaptation. I believe healing happens when we honor the whole person—mind, body, and culture—and I offer a compassionate space where clients can restore balance, reconnect with their creativity, and move toward a more fulfilling 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.
