Trauma and PTSD Counseling in Portland
Psychological and emotional trauma can be a result of a single event or repeated, ongoing exposure to a stressful situation. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is our body’s natural reaction to traumatic events. Many symptoms can be caused by exposure to trauma.
If you’ve experienced trauma in any form, you could suffer from some of the following conditions:
- PTSD
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Eating disorders
- Body image distress
- Sleep Disturbances
- Flashbacks
- Difficulty Focusing and Recalling information
Our Trauma-Informed Therapeutic approach will address the emotional, psychological, physical, and relational problems that previous trauma can cause. A therapist in Portland can help you can experience freedom from the past and learn to feel joy.
Grief and Loss Counseling
There are no right or wrong ways to experience grief after you’ve suffered a loss or death. Grief is incredibly complex and it’s difficult for other people to understand unless they’ve gone through it themselves.
It’s natural and healthy to mourn the losses of loved ones. It’s essential to have some kind of support to help you through the process. Our therapy practices will help you learn to work with your emotions while increasing your coping skills. The support of a therapist who understands the pain of loss and can guide you through the grief process.
Counseling for Stress and Burnout
Stress is a part of life. We can withstand a lot of stress, but as it begins to pile up, it results in poor performance and burnout. High-stress levels can also cause chronic health problems in your body.
We can help you overcome your self-destructive habits. You can learn new skills and create new patterns to more effectively cope with stress. You don’t have to live a life that’s ruled by your stress.
Perfectionism and Self Esteem Counseling
One of the things that play a major role in how we experience our lives is our opinion of ourselves. People who suffer from perfectionism believe that they have to do things right the first time or they’re overcome with feelings of rejection and failure.
You shouldn’t let poor self-esteem or perfectionism get in your way of living a fulfilled life. We use tools that can help you grow and heal, including Internal Family Systems and self-compassion practices.
Counseling for Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Anxiety can manifest in a lot of different ways. Some of the most common manifestations of anxiety are social anxiety, panic disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Panic attacks are a physical manifestation of anxiety that can be a scary experience. With our therapy methods, we can greatly reduce your panic attacks.
Our therapy techniques for social anxiety will teach you coping mechanisms on how to navigate various social settings. You’ll become a more confident person that isn’t afraid of stepping outside their comfort zone.
OCD can result in unmanageable thoughts and compulsive actions. With the right treatment, we can manage your symptoms.
Social Media Dependency
People who suffer from social media dependency often don’t realize that they have unhealthy relationships with various platforms. Internet addiction and the negative psychological impacts of using social media can have drastic effects on people’s lives, leading to low self-esteem and lack of motivation to meet their life’s true goals.
We provide you with support on navigating the different issues that are related to overusing computers and phones. Together, we’ll create a plan where you have a relationship with social media where you feel in control.
LGBTQ+
In a cisgender and heteronormative society, it can be difficult to be our authentic selves. We often become the target of society’s fears and shame surrounding sexuality and gender.
We work closely with our clients to develop and embrace their identities. They’ll learn how to deepen their self-acceptance and relate to other people authentically.
