A compassionate, honest client-counselor relationship is essential. My fee is $60 per session.
Lauren Johnson, M.S.W. My passion is working with adolescents, teens and families. Give me a kid running into difficulties and I can help. Part of the work is getting down to serious issues - another part is not taking anything too seriously. Fees: $40 per session.	Janet Martin, L.P.C.

My work at Wise Counsel & Comfort is very different than that of my colleagues here who are professional counselors. The work I offer may be an important adjunctive therapy to support the work you are doing with your counselor. This is especially true if you are coping with the severe stress of loss or life transitions.

Rosen Method is distinguished by its gentle, direct touch. Using hands that listen rather than manipulate, the practitioner focuses on chronic muscle tension. As relaxation occurs and the breath deepens, feelings emerge, freeing the client to experience more aliveness, new choices in life, and a greater sense of well being.

I finds great reward from successfully motivating individuals who wish to find their own way to good health and a balanced lifestyle. I bring my own unique approach to Rosen Method and a genuine understanding of the mind body connection. I've recently completed my five year certification process in Rosen Method, facilitated by Rosen Center East. I have thirteen years of personal experience in movement and body mind therapies, and I am privileged to offer my services to you or your loved ones. Fees are affordable, and I welcome your calls.

Are you searching for peace?

We all strive for peace and well being in our lives and our relationships. I provide my clients with a fresh perspective by giving them an emotionally safe and supportive atmosphere. We will work together to tap into your own inner wisdom as you consider your life choices to examine if they are effective in reaching your personal goals and aspirations. Individuals as well as couples and families can benefit from counseling, and find that they can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, registered with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors & Therapists. earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology at the University of Oregon in 1999 and my Master of Arts Degree in Couples, Marriage and Family Therapy at Portland State University in 2006. Since then, I've had the privilege of helping my clients, both youth and adults, cope more effectively with such issues as:

All of us have times when we feel confident and strong, and other times when we feel lost and in need of a new perspective and additional strength. Some people seek counseling for a brief time to make a shift in their life, while others want more long-term support as they work through tough issues and life struggles. I use a number of different techniques depending on individual client needs and preferences, such as talk therapy, art therapy, role-playing, body awareness, and journaling. I believe that a supportive, compassionate and honest client-counselor relationship is essential to a positive counseling experience, and I work hard to build a positive rapport with every client I see. I have a multicultural approach; having worked and lived abroad I deeply respect the many differences in values across religions and cultures.

My standard price is $60 for a fifty-minute session, however I also offer a sliding scale based on income. I provide a free 30-minute initial consultation. Please give me a call or email me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Healing from abusive relationships
Anger management

Are you confused about your current relationship?
Do you feel unheard, blamed, powerless and hurt?
Would you like to understand what is going on and how to make positive changes for yourself?
Or, are you often angry and find relationships damaged?

Through empowering, supportive, and non-judgmental therapy I help my clients find their way to a more satisfying life.

Together, we will refine and negotiate your goals and use brief or long-term therapies as needed by you. Therapies I use are cognitive-behavioral, Jungian, E.M.D.R., art therapy, solution-focused, and self-relations. I believe that change happens in a safe, non-judgmental, and warm therapeutic environment. We actively work together to find the tools you need for change, whether support, information, developing new habits of thinking, or exploring unconscious material.

I have over 18 years experience in providing brief and long-term therapy. I received my Master's Degree in Psychology from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon since 1991. I specialize in helping people heal from abusive relationships and learn anger management. Helping with work issues, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, family and dysfunctional family issues are also areas of expertise.

Whether you are paying out of pocket for your counseling, or using benefits of an insurance plan, please call to discuss your needs with me and if I'm not able to assist, I'll make every effort to help you find the therapist who can.

My fees are $90 for a 50 minute session. Sliding scale rates can be negotiated. I am able to work with a number of insurance companies, specifically, ODS, Aetna, Healthnet, and MHN. I also can see state of Oregon employees with Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance.

I look forward to hearing from you.

My best qualities are my sense of humor and an unshakeable commitment to honesty, and both of these are reflected in my practice. I have been working with teens and families for almost ten years. I am respectful, realistic, and compassionate, and firmly believe that I have the greatest job on earth! My goal is to help people move themselves towards lives that make them happier and more fulfilled, and away from habits that are painful and destructive. I’ve found that people usually know when something isn’t working, but aren’t sure what to do instead—we can work together to find a solution that improves your life.
I completed my undergraduate studies at Cornell in 1997, and have a Master’s of Social Work from Columbia University. I've worked and studied abroad (China, and practiced in Boston and New York. I worked in a high school for older immigrants, lots and lots of adolescent residential treatment programs, and a psychiatric emergency room.

I specialize in work with teenagers, and particularly those dealing with challenges with attention, social engagement and the like. I have years of experience working with children and adults with severe abuse histories and severe behavioral problems, and have had success with many many teens who, at first, wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. My main influences are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Carl Rogers’ belief in unconditional positive regard.

I believe that no one should ever be denied services for financial reasons. I don’t charge more than $40 a session EVER, and am willing to set a sliding scale in cases of need. Even in a recession, I don’t think mental health should be a luxury.
