Therapists in Oregon

It was Irvin Yalom who said something to the effect that "psychotherapy is like a dress rehearsal for life". With this said, it is my intention to not only offer you support in therapy but to also help you generalize the skills you learn in therapy and apply them in your outside life and relationships. I specialize in anger, depression, and anxiety management for adults and adolescents. I also enjoy working with highly intelligent adults and teens who have a difficult time adjusting and adapting socially. This includes working with individuals on the high functioning end of the Autism scale. I employ many different therapeutic techniques such as client centered, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Existential. I try to offer a balance of insight and sensitivity to each client and family that I see, and get client feedback each session. Given my training in philosophy, I also offer philosophical counseling when relevant. This includes incorporating the philosophical works of Nietzsche, Sartre, Schopenhauer, Kant, Yalom, Spinoza, Heidegger, etc. I can also administer various personality and intelligence tests.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho, as well as Nationally Certified Counselor, and I also hold the Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies. I have been a counselor for 12 years in different settings, such as community agencies of different kind, as well as my own practice. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an adult educator and worked for colleges and business schools. As an educator, I was passionate about motivating each student to find an individual “life’s path” and to use education as a tool. As a counselor, I am passionate about my clients learning about themselves through the discovery of individual strengths and unique abilities to take on the life’s journey. In each session, I strive to encourage my clients to find something about themselves they haven’t noticed before. Depending on my clients’ needs, I use many techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and many others, but educate on these techniques in the process to help my clients “become their own counselors” and build their own “arsenal” of tools. My counseling style is fluid – I meet my clients “where they are”; at the same time, I have been told by my clients that each session with me gave them different perspective and empowered them to approach life’s problems with unexpected solutions! I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know you!

Hello, and welcome to my virtual office! I would first like to acknowledge your strength and courage in taking this step toward making your mental health and wellness a priority. To tell you a bit about my background, I am a licensed therapist in FL, MA, OR, and WA with over 10 years experience working with a variety of populations as I have strived to assist clients on their journey toward hope, growth, and healing. I am also well-versed in providing teletherapy services,. I would describe my style as laid back and conversational in nature. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, in which the therapeutic alliance sets the foundation for successful outcomes. As an integrated therapist, I reject a “one size fits all” approach. I draw from various modalities as necessitated by the presenting issue, and believe that techniques should be tailored to individualized needs. I seek to minimize “labeling,” and strive to make a genuine human connection with clients as they share their unique worldview and experiences. Ultimately, I believe it is the client who is the expert of his or her own life. It is my goal to provide an empathetic space where clients feel safe and empowered to be their authentic selves and live in their truth. I look forward to working with you, and believe that together, we can foster positive change in your life.

Hello! I’m Maudeen. I have been serving as a social worker since 1972 and as a counselor since 1990. I received my graduate degree at California State University in San Jose and finished my License in Clinical Social Work in 1990. I worked with developmentally disabled children and their parents, had a private practice assisting those with depression, PTSD, anxiety and grief. I also worked with a Hospice as a Bereavement Coordinator, counseling bereaved children, individuals and groups. I have been married 37 years and we have one child. I was privileged to be a long-distance care-provider for my mother in her final years, a difficult and wonderful experience. I also learned about the necessity of consistent self-care for care-providers. I am told that I have a warm, kind and approachable style. I work from the premise that you are the expert of you. I am here to help facilitate your growth. With teamwork, I am sure that we can find the right answers for you, the right way to live your unique life and follow your unique dreams. My work is an eclectic approach, combining styles from different sources that I like because they work well. I value EMDR for PTSD and the client-centered approach of valuing your viewpoint, emphasizing your strengths, encouraging you to make small steps toward your goals. From my own experience and my work with others, I think that journaling is the quickest way to reach self-understanding, self- compassion and to reach goals that match who you want to be in this world. I enjoy giving homework, offerings of possible questions you can journal and suggestions of possible communication skills who can try with family and friends. I closed my counseling office in 2018, wrote a book and am now building an online coaching business. I would be happy to use my life coaching skills with you, if needed.

I hope that my life experience and my professional education and can assist you and help you make choices that are your own. I seek to be a good mirror and reflect back what is important to you.
