Therapists for college students near Portland, OR
Our life experiences impact who we are and who we become. The positive experiences stay with us, but the negative experiences stay with us as well. Sometimes it helps to look at all these experiences – both positive and negative to help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. The relationships we have had throughout our lives are also deeply influential in shaping who we are and our current relationships. Therapy can be helpful in giving each person a greater sense and deeper understanding ...
We all have a deep need for connection. This connection is often challenged and disrupted by experiences throughout our lives. This leads us all to experience some level of disconnect.

We look at compounding impact of transitions as stress. Therapy presents a unique opportunity to join wi...

I'm Skylar first, therapist second. This means that while I take professionalism and the American Counseling Association's Code of Ethics very seriously, I bring my authentic self to each session. The relationships I form with clients are real, and necessarily so, because it is through genuine human connection that clients find their way. I am not one who finds utility in elaborate hypotheses filled with flowery psychobabble. I work primarily within frameworks of Acceptance and Commitment Th...
Student life involves transitions, both micro and macro. At what other time in our lives do we revise schedules on a quarterly basis? Acclimating to a new schedule and pace, while continuing to attend to family, friends, and work is daunting. And somewhere in the midst of those demands, is a continued need to care for yourself. People often work with me when they are questioning their relationships with important people in their lives, as well as when they are learning more about the relatio...
