Charles McBride (he/him)
I am a professional counselor, licensed in Oregon, with over 15 years of experience. I have worked as both a residential substance abuse treatment counselor and as a outpatient mental health counselor with an employee and family assistance program. I have worked with clients with a broad range of issues including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns and sexuality. I have also worked with first responders who have experienced trauma. My counseling style is warm and supportive, with a little bit of humor thrown into the mix. All clients will be treated with respect and compassion, regardless of where they are on their life's journey. I strongly believe that the client is the only expert of his/her/their life and it is my job to help each one reach their full potential. We enter counseling to change something in our lives; whatever we are currently doing isn't working. But we must change how we think in order for our new behaviors to have lasting change. To this end, my approach combines cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive, and client-centered counseling. Just as each client is unique, each treatment plan must be as well. We will work together to create a plan that meets your specific needs. I look forward to our first session!

Daniel Klinkert
I became motivated to pursue a career in psychotherapy through my lived experience as a trauma survivor and a recovering addict. My specialties include treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, chemical dependency, process addictions, and trauma-related disorders. I am fortunate to have had a rewarding and successful career in the mental health field which includes working for 18 years as a fully licensed therapist, providing over 10,000 hours of individual and group psychotherapy, running my own professional training company, and doing research into psychosocial rehabilitation models. My approach to psychotherapy is very client-centered and while I am eager to learn and apply a wide variety of treatment modalities I believe this work is highly individualized. I enjoy working with a diverse client base and my priorities are to build strong relationships and work with clients to apply their individual strengths towards whatever life challenges they are seeking to overcome.
Marc Rott
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I am licensed in Oregon and have worked across a variety of settings, including hospital-based care, private practice, and higher education, where I taught for over 25 years. I work with clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, confidence and self-esteem issues, life transitions, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I have found that while symptoms are important to address, lasting change often comes from understanding the root causes behind them — the underlying patterns, beliefs, and experiences that continue to shape how we think, feel, and relate. My therapy style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where clients feel respected, understood, and safe to explore what is really going on beneath the surface. I draw from evidence-based approaches and tailor our work to meet your unique needs and goals, moving at a pace that feels right for you. Seeking support takes courage, especially when life feels heavy or uncertain. If you are looking for a thoughtful, grounded approach that focuses not only on coping but on meaningful, lasting change, I would be honored to support you in this process. I look forward to working with you.

Marla Moreno
Hi, my name is Marla, I am a licensed professional counselor in Oregon with 8 years of experience working as a counselor and therapist. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, social and relationship issues, trauma, Bi-Polar, Anger , self-esteem, communication challenges, and Internet use issues. I believe that everyone has the capacity to reach an improved state of health. I employ an eclectic approach to counseling, with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral, Rational Emotive Behavioral, Motivational skills, mindfulness and somatic skills that support improved health. Every day we make Choices. Sometimes we are not even aware of the choices we are making or thoughts we’re thinking, until we are facing the implications of those thoughts, words and choices. Learning skills to support improved communication and behaviors often result in improved problem-solving capacity, feelings of increased self-esteem, calm, and peace in our relationships at home, at work and especially with ourselves. I specialize in working with humans ages 18 to 75yrs old.. My style is empathetic, direct, and warm. I engage an integrative, holistic, and mindful approach to counseling. I’d like to assist you in identifying the goals you want to work toward; along with forming a treatment plan to navigate the steps and process in the achievement of those goals. If you are ready to take that step, I’m here and I look forward to meeting and working with you.
Devon Edwards
Integrated holistic healing is not unidimensional, nor could it be. The concept of integrated healing is one which encompasses the whole. That being the mind, body and spirit of an individual. As an integrated health coach and mental health counselor, this is not simply my job, but my calling and deepest passion. Helping guide individuals who seek a deeper understanding of their inherent sense of wholeness, freedom and liveliness. As a former collegiate athlete, personal trainer, and integrated health coach, responsibility and overcoming adversity have become essential characteristics towards my way of being. These experiences matched with the teachings found at Naropa University allow me to bring forth an alternative approach to mental health counseling. I would love to hear from you. I currently have openings and am exhilarated by the opportunity to work with men, adolescents, and teenagers wanting to improve their mental health. We will work towards seeking greater clarity, fostering awareness, and shifting maladaptive behaviors and ideologies.

Ivy Medow
I am a licensed professional counselor in Oregon with 4 years of professional work experience as a vocational counselor (in another state), and thirty years in human services. I have been an Occupational Therapy Assistant, an Activity Therapist, a Counselor at a Job Corps site, a Disability Program Navigator, a benefits planning specialist...and more. I have experience with work related matters, motivation, self esteem, confidence, learning and other disabilities and differences, & coping with life changes. I am interested in compassion fatigue, and believe strongly in self-care as a strategy for successful living. I have an inclusive approach. I treat people with respect and compassion. More about my approach: First of all, I encourage everyone to develop a set of self care skills. Not everyone wants to try it, but I encourage it and I encourage people to tailor the skills and plan to their own needs, preferences, and tolerance. In general, I believe people do better in life if they get adequate rest, avoid alcohol and drugs, get exercise and fresh air, eat properly, learn and practice mindfulness activities, kick back with activities they enjoy, and limit exposure to trauma in their everyday lives. I encourage creative expression of emotions, such as painting, drawing, journaling, singing, dancing...and more. I encourage people to turn their attention toward that which they can do something about, which is pretty much themselves and their own reactions to things and their own behavior. I acknowledge the role trauma plays in our lives. I am not completely focused on it, although sometimes it needs to be dealt with, and especially if it's happening in the here and now, for example an abusive husband. A lot of times working through the effects of the trauma can do a lot to help the person find insight and a path forward that does not give the trauma too much power. I like to help people differentiate between what's happened in the past and what's happening now. Often what's happening now brings up memories of the past, and it's helpful to learn and remember how the two sets of events/behaviors/experiences are similar --and how they are different. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage. I am glad you are starting the process!
