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.

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.

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.

Ever After Therapy was born out of a deep belief that families and individuals can rewrite their stories, no matter how challenging the past has been. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I’ve spent my career helping people navigate the complexities of relationships, mental health, and personal transformation. Our approach—rooted in evidence-based practices—centers on fostering connection, emotional resilience, and lasting change.

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.
