Portland Counseling and Therapy

 

What we do

We integrate the art and science of psychotherapy to help people in Portland who are suffering. Our commitment is not just to help our clients feel better, we help them to live better.

 

Who we are

All our therapists are also active scientists, which means our counseling methods are informed by the most current research in psychology.

 

How we can help you

 

Individual Psychotherapy

 

Classes and Groups

There are a lot of counselors out there, but very few know the latest research about what works.

 

Because we are involved in scientific research on a daily basis, we are able to integrate the science of therapy with the art of therapy.

 

Mostly we use cognitive-behavioral therapy methods (in particular Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), methods that have the strongest evidence for being helpful.

Most of us have had little systematic training on how to handle the stresses and difficulties of life.

 

Our classes provide practical guidance on how to respond more flexibly to the inevitable stress and pain that is part of living.

 

If you think you might be interested in our classes or groups, drop us a line and we'll let you know about future openings.
