Therapists for college students near Portland, OR

I provide adult psychological testing and evaluation for ADHD, autism, and diagnostic clarifications. I take a strength-based, whole picture approach and utilize a variety of different testing measures including a cognitive battery. This allows you to be able to use your evaluation for services through your university if needed and recommended. I also take insurance. If you may be interested, email me or check our website for more information.

Early adulthood can be a confusing, tumultuous time. You may be forging an identity, dealing with instability in living situations, academics, career, or relationships, and perhaps caught up in the painful effects of complex trauma from childhood and adolescence. Financial and career stress in a confusing economy doesn't help. I resonate most with young adults struggling with family of origin issues, discrimination, and experiences of trauma and loss. These issues and experiences often lead to depression, anxiety, and worries about not being good enough or able to make healthy decisions. I am able to be present when you are hopeless and help you see the good within. My approach flexible and catered to your needs. What brings you to therapy is a focus, but I also acknowledge that the past informs the present. We may take that past on directly or keep it in mind as a minor theme. Insight combined with action are often the keys to change.

Eugene Center for Anxiety and Stress is committed to providing treatments that have been tested and found to be effective, with a particular emphasis on exposure-based principles and antioppressive practices. Therapists use evidence-based approaches to help clients develop tools to manage their symptoms, identify ways that the American context may be impacting clients's experience, and help them develop self-efficacy for managing symptoms after the course of treatment.

Since 2010, Eugene Therapy has provided individual, couples and family counseling for children, teens and adults. Our clinicians are focused on meeting the mental health needs of our neighbors in the Eugene, Springfield and surrounding community.

Therapy is a courageous act that requires vulnerability, authenticity, and an openness to self-discovery. I have worked with students for over 20 years. I understand the compounding social, academic, financial, and relationship challenges students face. I have supported students experiencing generalized and academic anxiety, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, depression, chronic and acute medical conditions, life adjustments, roommate conflict, stress and time management difficulties, grief and loss, and trauma. I have experience working with students who have experienced sudden grief and loss, traumatic break-ups, and psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. I am committed to supporting individuals heal from their traumatic experiences and allowing their vulnerable selves to feel seen. I have experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA2+ students who are experiencing discrimination, marginalization, dismissal, and systemic aggressions. I will work to help you identify patterns that are keeping you stuck, stagnant, and from reaching your full potential. If you are ready to begin this process I look forward to connecting with you. I have completed trainings and hold certifications in EMDR, ACT, DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices.

Welcome! I’m Rose Adonis, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I understand that college can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. You may be trying to manage academic pressure, relationships, work, family expectations, and major life changes while quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty focusing, low motivation, or emotional exhaustion. I work best with students who want a supportive and nonjudgmental space where they can be honest about what they are experiencing. You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Together, we will discuss your concerns, identify your goals, and create a treatment plan that fits your individual needs. When appropriate, care may include medication management, practical coping strategies, and collaboration with a therapist or other healthcare professionals. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more confident in managing your mental health so you can thrive both academically and personally. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey.

BCB Therapy began in 2004. Each therapist carries a caseload they can actually hold in mind, and clients see the same person every week, not whoever happens to be free. The team works with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship struggles, disordered eating, insomnia, and ADHD. Alongside talk therapy the practice offers EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, DBT, DBR, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Sessions happen two ways: in person at the office on SW Columbia Street in Bend, or by secure video anywhere in Oregon. Clients in Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Medford, and in small towns with no therapist for fifty miles, get the same clinicians and the same care. The practice is in network with PacificSource, Providence, Regence, BlueCross BlueShield, First Choice Health, and the Oregon Health Plan.

How I work: I'm a licensed clinical social worker and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, in practice for over 15 years. Licensed in Oregon, Maryland and New York. In person in Ashland, Oregon, and by video elsewhere. People come to me with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship difficulty, and the harder transitions of a life, though we rarely stay at the level of the label for long. My training is psychoanalytic - relational, modern, contemporary - but in practice I'm more interested in you than in applying any of it to you. Together we explore what matters, what repeats, what gets avoided, what happens between us. You come to know what's best. That stays with you everywhere. I also work as a thought partner. Some people come to me not for conventional therapy but for sustained, confidential attention to something they're working through: a decision, a project, a difficult question, a piece of writing, a leadership puzzle. The structure is different; the kind of attention to complexity is the same. Some call this coaching. I think of it as the same depth of attention, pointed ​at something distinct you're working at. Who I am Trained at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies and the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, with additional study in somatic and contemplative approaches. Outside the office, I serve on the board of the Ashland Independent Film Festival.

We are a non-profit counseling center located in Corvallis, Oregon.

We are affirming and accepting and encourage others in this approach. Whether you are a single mom struggling to get it all done, or a college student juggling too many expectations, there is a place to find peace. You may need to sit and cry or laugh and dream. We will explore your needs together and take small steps towards big change.

Hey there! I’m Grace, a Registered Dietitian based in Portland, OR, passionate about helping you feel your best through personalized, sustainable nutrition. My journey into nutrition began with my own experience. During my senior year of high school, I was diagnosed with celiac disease, and after working with a dietitian and making changes to my diet, I experienced a powerful shift in my energy, mood, and overall well-being. That experience showed me firsthand just how impactful nutrition can be—and ultimately inspired me to pursue this field. Through both my personal and professional journey, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how chronic health conditions can affect nutritional status and day-to-day life. I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating chronic conditions, helping them build confidence and find strategies that feel manageable, realistic, and sustainable long term. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and empowering. Together, we’ll create a space where you can learn, grow, and build the skills needed to make lasting changes. I believe nutrition therapy should feel approachable and individualized, and I’m here to help you develop tools that support your health in a way that fits your life. When I’m not working with clients, you can find me hiking, baking (I’m currently working on perfecting my banana bread recipe), spending time at my local coffee shop, or soaking up the sun whenever I can. I’m so excited to work with you and support you on your journey! Ready to start? Book a visit directly at https://diabetesdigital.co/start.

Our team of psychiatric nurse practitioners and licensed therapists offers medication management, adult ADHD evaluation and treatment, and evidence-based therapy including CBT, ERP for OCD, and EMDR/trauma-focused care.

Our integrative approach looks at sleep, nutrition, hormones and labs alongside medication and therapy, and we coordinate closely with campus counseling centers. Telehealth and Saturday appointments make it easier to fit care around classes. Persian (Farsi) spoken. We accept Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare, Optum and UnitedHealthcare, plus self-pay.

At Griffin & Associated Practitioners, we work with people who want a supportive place to feel understood, work through what’s difficult, and move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful. Our clients come to us with many different experiences—anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, life transitions, past experiences that still feel present, or simply the sense that something isn’t working as well as they’d like. College and young adulthood can bring their own mix of pressure, change, uncertainty, and growth, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. As a group practice, we have therapists with different personalities, backgrounds, specialties, and approaches. We believe the relationship with your therapist matters, and we work to help you connect with someone who feels like a good fit for you.

College can be a lot to juggle, not only are you balancing your classes and course work, but also relationships and expectations. All while trying to figure out what you actually want for yourself. As a first-generation child of immigrants, I understand the pressure that can come with balancing your own goals while staying connected to where you come from. I work with college students who are dealing with anxiety, burnout, identity questions, and major life transitions. You might notice overthinking, procrastination, people pleasing, or feeling like you have to show up differently depending on the space you’re in. A lot of my clients are used to pushing through, even when they feel overwhelmed or unsure of themselves. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and culturally responsive. I help you make sense of your emotions, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build tools that actually work in your everyday life. Whether we’re talking through stress, working on anxiety, or exploring identity and relationships, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.

I use relationship building as the foundation of my therapy practice. I believe feeling seen, held, and safe are vital components of being able to grow. My hope is to create an atmosphere where the people I meet with feel met and known which will allow us to walk together through vulnerability. With all my clients I take a Neurobiological approach, which is a fancy way to say I think a lot about nervous systems and how to regulate them. Our nervous systems need co-regulation before they can learn to self-regulate. Together we will explore what feels soothing to your particular system and build strategies from there. I pull Internal Family Systems (IFS) or parts work and Narrative Therapy techniques. My style is client centered, collaborative, affirming, and trauma informed.

At Green Sheep, we believe in making therapy a space for creative experimentation, playfulness, and gratifying personal expansion. Practicing from an integrative feminist, strength-based, existential perspective, we affirm that every person is capable of utilizing and building upon their strengths and resources. I am particularly passionate about working with trans and LGB+ individuals, partners, and families, but am welcoming of all genders and all sexuality presentations. I work with teens, adults, pre-teens, partners/relationships, families, and groups. I work with a range of people, and enjoy working with those who have experienced family conflict or estrangement, dissociative disorders, anxiety, depression, body image issues, gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, religious trauma, sexual trauma, medical trauma, or involvement in cults. As a counselor, I integrate various modalities into treatment based on client needs, including art therapy, relational cultural therapy, existential therapy, internal family systems, constructivist theories, and narrative therapy. Emphasizing parts work, my focus is on developing the inner healing intelligence that exists within each individual. Art therapy serves as a powerful tool in this journey, helping clients recognize, access, and connect with their inner healing intelligence through artistic expression. Whether you have prior art experience or not, art therapy is a tangible reminder of progress and aids in letting go of emotional burdens, facilitating positive and lasting change. We can decide together whether we might use art in our sessions together, and how it might be used. By learning new skills as well leaning on your inner healing intelligence, you can achieve deeper self-understanding, manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma, assert boundaries, and enhance self-image. Developing your authentic self becomes a powerful remedy for various emotional struggles, enabling a more balanced and fulfilling life. I am unable to accept insurance at this time, though I do help with billing out of network for those that have this option on their plan.

I work with people around adult adhd and anxiety. I also focus on women’s reproductive health, often related to fertility, planned and unplanned pregnancy and the transition to motherhood. I meet with clients online or in NE Portland in person.

I provide individual therapy to people ages 18 and up. I specialize in working with queer and trans people, pot-stirrers, and outsiders. I enjoy working with people who are confronting major identity shifts, people who are navigating issues with their families of origin, and people who are trying to envision a future they never imagined themselves in (What is middle age? What is aging in queer spaces? How can I live meaningfully in late stage capitalism?).
