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.

Ever Mei Therapy Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are, without feeling like you need to have it all together or know where to start. At Ever Mei Therapy Collective, we look beyond the symptoms to understand the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped how you feel today. Our therapists bring specialized training in trauma, EMDR, and Brainspotting, along with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach that meets you where you are. We know that reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you're used to handling everything on your own. You don't need to have the right words, a clear goal, or even know exactly what's wrong. We'll work together to make sense of what you're experiencing and help you move toward a life that feels more like your own. You deserve a space where you don't have to hold it all together.

Meghan Hanes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Specializing in trauma, EMDR therapy, anxiety, and substance use, I help high-functioning women who feel successful on the outside but overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck on the inside. You don't have to keep pushing through on your own. Together, we'll explore the deeper "why" behind what you're experiencing and identify the patterns keeping you in survival mode. Using evidence-based approaches in a supportive, nonjudgmental space, I help clients move beyond insight alone and create meaningful, lasting change. If you're ready to feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life, I'd be honored to support you.

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.

Vanessa Timmons
Life Coach, ACC, CPCC, MMT
As you move through life's many phases, it can be hard to hear your own voice clearly amid everyone else’s expectations. I coach people navigating transitions. Those shifts in career, relationships, identity, and purpose. Together, we make space to take stock, reconnect with your wisdom, and discover what feels true for your next chapter. My approach brings together deep listening, compassionate inquiry, mindfulness, and reflective writing. I offer a free consultation to explore what you’re looking for and whether coaching is a good fit.

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.

Mensch Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
I’m an individual therapist working with adults online across Oregon. Many of my clients arrive feeling stuck, overthinking, and quietly exhausted; carrying trauma, anxiety, or grief while still being the one everyone relies on. Sometimes it’s the fallout of growing up as the responsible one, perfectionism that won’t shut off, or a nervous system that lives on high alert. Even after yoga, exercise, and stacks of books have taken you as far as they can, tings still linger. My style is collaborative, curious, and authentic. I don’t pile on pressure. I bring clarity, warmth, and a shame-free lane forward. Together we’ll uncover the patterns beneath the overwhelmed feeling: people-pleasing, pushing through burnout, and the ways your body keeps the score. I specialize in helping adults build steadier days, clearer boundaries, and kinder self-talk. You don’t have to keep performing “I’m fine” to deserve help. If you’re ready to move past surface fixes and feel like yourself again, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
