Mary-Catherine Nimphius, LPC
About me
As a licensed therapist in Oregon, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional experiences. My approach centers on compassionate, personalized care that honors each person's unique journey. I have extensive experience helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful connections. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults and individuals at any stage exploring identity, relationships, and personal growth. Through a collaborative and validating approach, I help clients develop practical coping strategies and explore underlying emotional patterns.
I draw from evidence-based practices to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and move toward greater emotional wellness. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine empathy, respect, and a commitment to your healing and personal development.

Mary has helped me from the first session. She makes me feel safe to navigate trauma and holds my boundaries. She is extremely understanding and helpful. She makes my life easier and in only two sessions. I could not speak more highly of her.

Mary-Catherine is a Godsend. I have gained so much control over my emotions and have learned so much about myself through our sessions. Used to just go to the docs and get some pills that never really worked or made matters worse. With Mary's guidance, I now am understanding why I feel as I do and the underlying causes of those feelings. No drugs needed and happier for it. Thank you Mary and thank you Betterhelp.
