Elyse Gardner, MA, LPCA
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPCA
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.

Ben Mosebach
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Hey there, I'm Ben Mosebach and I'm not your typical therapist. I'm not here to offer you clichés or empty promises. What I offer is authenticity and the potential to profoundly impact your life. My approach to therapy is straightforward and down-to-earth. Theoretically I am rooted in the humanistic perspectives encompassing aspects of existentialism, gestalt and person centered therapy. But I'm not interested in wasting your time with superficial chatter or jargon-filled language. I'm here to roll up my sleeves and get to work with you, tackling whatever challenges you're facing head-on.

Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Currently accepting clients! My approach is grounded in 25+yrs of experience as a psychotherapist and community educator. I’m passionate about helping people grow through the tough stuff – and also thrive during messy or dark life seasons, with interventions drawn from the research-supported "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes mindfulness and acceptance approaches, in addition to existential therapy, positive psychology, and nature prescriptions. Expect invitations for behavioral "experiments," culturally-relevant self-help resources, and client-centered compassionate care. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs today.

Marcy Irene Jenks
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, RN, NCC, LPC, LMHC
Throughout our lifetime, things continue to shift and change; it's inevitable. Sometimes with these changes comes feelings of confusion, fear, anger, grief, and resentment, and choice-making can be difficult. Working with a counselor can be supportive as we navigate our mental health and wellness during these everchanging times. Finding a therapist that feels 'just right' is an important piece of the counseling journey. Let's schedule a free consultation to meet one another and explore the possibility of working together. I can be a support to those navigating challenging changes related to grief, loss, low self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma.

Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
I recognize being a nonconformist in any way, comes with challenges. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I understand first hand the things we too commonly encounter. Despite the challenges, I recognize the power and beauty inherent in us all. When we fully embrace and embody our most authentic selves we find freedom from the expectations of others. Being on my own similar journey, I believe I am uniquely equipped to help you thrive while negotiating all life's many changes and challenges.

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.
