Thank you very much for checking here: I hope to be of service to you. My 17+ years of experience includes many years of counseling and listening, across various cultures, ages and personal client needs, with a few years as adjunct professor at Louisiana State University, Shreveport, LA: 3 years of work as a patient counselor in a hospital psychiatric unit, and 3 years of practice in a pediatric clinic. My current solo practice is empathetic, accepting and non-judgmental, having also practiced as an EAP (employee counselor) in a very large hospital and city system, in which I was required to see anyone for any situation or issue they may bring to counseling. This unique opportunity provided me with insights and understanding of people beyond my own personal scope of experience. I believe this has made me more sensitive to the needs, hurts and stress of the various clients I serve. I am generally available 6 days a week for appointments, because I really do enjoy my practice and my clients. I am licensed in Louisiana, Oregon and Florida and serve clients in those states, as well as in overseas countries. I am old enough to enjoy my 6 children, 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchild, together with my wife in a delightful sharing relationship. This creates a relaxed, accepting and strong relationship and family foundation for your counseling needs. My personal strengths hopefully convey to you a caring and positive mindset as we work together. My hobbies are sailing, backpacking, snow skiing and cooking (especially apple pies:) (p.s. In fairness to potential Oregon clients, I want to let you know that I am in the Eastern Time Zone, and regretfully, I can only be available to West Coast clients from 6:00/ am until 1:00 pm :( If this is not workable hours for you, you may wish to find another therapist who may have better hours for your schedule. I felt it was only fair to let you know this in advance.) Also..I can open more hours than what shows on the schedule, so if you need a day/time that is not shown, please message me. Hope to hear from you soon!

I am currently licensed in Iowa and Nebraska with over 26 years of professional work experience. The bulk of my career has been in community-based settings as I felt this type of setting was where I could give back to those that have helped me and my family of origin. I had a mother that was bi-polar and had a significant borderline personality disorder. Her first major hospitalization occurred following my birth. I have grown up in the Midwest but have lived in California and South Carolina as well as serving in the US military with one deployment to Afghanistan in which I served as the highest-ranking enlisted member of the Human Intelligence component of a Brigade Combat Team. I have a grown gay son and feel that my own healing process in coming to terms with my feelings toward my mentally ill mother were greatly facilitated by friendships in the queer community and feel a great depth of gratitude and respect for this community. I have been divorced, struggled with my own addiction, co-dependency and mental health issues throughout my lifetime and have carried various mental health diagnoses at different times in my life as well. I don't look at myself as complete expert on life but to quote Brene' Brown: "I might just be a little further down the road in recovery is all". I view therapy as more of an art form in that there are skills and techniques that can be learned and applied to the work of art that is being created, but it is the process involved that brings out the beauty of the final product. I understand the importance of being heard and feel that a person’s truth can emerge through a collective experience in the interaction and engagement with another human being. I hope to bring my experience in life and working with others to your life experience. I view it as a privilege to be able to be a part of the understanding of another person’s life and hope to be part of this journey with you.

My name is "Ms. Tam" or "Ms. Hicks" and I am here to help. I am a licensed mental health professional and I will be able to partner with you on this journey. I am pleased you have selected me as your therapist. I have a strong client base for issues with anxiety, depression, and trauma. The first session dives deep into what will scratch the surface and open certain doors to rooms and places the client wants and needs to explore; or not. I recommend minimum 3 sessions to build upon your toolbox to help manage your symptoms. I have learned that I am not for everyone and everyone is not for me. I am a whole vibe professionally speaking. Therapy is a journey one in which the client is in the drivers seat and the therapist is in the passenger seat, shotgun! The client that wants to get to the root of the pain, hurt, awkwardness, craziness, sadness, the list goes on is a great match with Ms. Tam. The client that also pulls from hope, spirit, experience, the unknown is a match with me. Its helpful for the client to remain open throughout at least 3-6 sessions after the first assessment/session in order to fully rate symptom change. If you are looking for a diverse and inclusive minded therapist, with years of experience in life, education, social services, and mental health services consider myself. I will try to help you. All counseling sessions will be treated with strict confidentiality and is protected by state and federal laws.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and spent 6 years as a nature-based therapist at a 70-acre farm in Canby, OR, utilizing the healing aspects of nature and engaging in such deeply-rooted human endeavors as forest archery, shelter and fire building, guided mushroom foraging, nature art, and specialized ceremonies and rituals. I have spent the last 4 years conducting therapy in my private practice. I specialize in life coaching, spiritual development, personal growth, getting unstuck, trauma, life transitions, career success, self-esteem and self-image, men’s issues, and rites of passage. I am also looking to form men's groups and retreats, so I am very interested in men's work/men's issues (mythopoetic men's movement). One of my most passionate interests and endeavors is utilizing a unique balance of humor, creativity, performance art, and psychological-cultural science and observation for motivational staff retreats. I received a Master’s in Counseling and a Master’s in Education, as well as a PhD in health psychology with a focus on effective coping mechanisms for daily and life stressors and alternative healing modalities. My doctoral research focused on the intersection of ethnopharmacology and psychology—specifically the healing potential of ayahuasca, an Amazonian plant medicine (entheogen), used by shamans for thousands of years to cure a voluminous array of human physical and psychological maladies. Over the last decade, I have combined my nature-based, psychedelic, and clinical experience toward a focus on optimal living and radical flexibility and achievement, employing neuro-cognitive restoration and peak performance components, which includes such concepts as flow states, “bullet-proof mind” modalities, authenticity, psychitecture (reprogramming negative feedback loops), dream work, and behavioral health support (nutrition, movement, etc.). I have also researched the remarkable properties and potential of psilocybin mushrooms for not only PTSD, anxiety, and depression, but also for helping to re-wire the brain, and changing our maladaptive “programming,” which contributes to negative behavioral and thinking patterns. Therefore, I assist clients in preparation and integration following this work that they do on their own. I have worked alongside physicians and nurses as a behavioral health consultant, utilizing a blend of motivational interviewing, nutritional education, and a variety of alternative healing modalities (breathwork, Eastern movement forms, Earthing, etc.). I have also been actively involved in professional cultural anthropology associations and consciousness groups and has given talks at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, OR, the Happiness Institute and California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, and the Anthropology of Consciousness on such topics as consciousness expansion, shamanism, Jungian archetypes, and the healing potential of entheogenic compounds. I have also spent nearly a decade in the business world as a consultant, corporate trainer, and business leader and have a great deal of experience in motivation, success training, and life coaching, which I blend with my clinical research and experience. I have an eclectic approach to counseling individuals that includes Impact Therapy, mindfulness techniques, dream journaling and interpretation, eco-therapeutic techniques, Somatic Therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Psycho-Cybernetics, Existential Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative techniques.
