DJ Maurer, Align Counseling

Hello! My name is DJ Maurer (he/him), and I graduated with my master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling at Eastern Oregon University. I feel deeply privileged to join you on your journey here at Align Counseling.

Life can be incredibly challenging at times, and it’s not always easy to navigate those moments alone. My counseling journey began with leading grief support groups for individuals who have lost loved ones. This experience sparked my passion for helping people navigate various life stages, challenges, and identity concerns. As an LGBTQIA2S+ provider, I am committed to providing affirming, inclusive care that fosters a therapeutic environment where you can explore and express your true, authentic self.

I specialize in supporting clients through anxiety, grief, trauma, and identity exploration. While I have experience working with teens, young adults, and adults, I welcome clients from all walks of life, who face a wide range of challenges. My approach is grounded in person-centered and trauma-informed principles, committed to creating a safe, trusting space where you feel heard, valued, and supported. I tailor an array of techniques to meet your unique needs, and together, we’ll work collaboratively, guided by your voice, insights, and personal goals, to chart a path toward healing that feels genuine and empowering.

In my downtime, I enjoy taking advantage of all the beauty the PNW offers. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to support you. If you feel ready to take the next step, please reach out. I look forward to connecting with you!
