Jamie
Baldwin, MA, LPC
The relationship we
have to ourselves, as well as others, is fundamental to our lives. When
we explore these relationships therapeutically, there is the potential
to experience a greater sense of well-being. Whatever brings someone
into therapy can be seen as a sign that there is a need to grow and
change in ways that are more fulfilling to a person. The focus of my
work includes addressing issues of anxiety, depression, relationships,
and those forces which oppress one’s personal sense of
well-being. I am a gay man in
private practice since 1997, specializing in working with the GLBT
community.
My approach includes a blend of contemporary psychodynamic
psychotherapies, working with individuals, couples, and groups.

Marla
Feinberg, MA, LMFT, MFCC
My
treatment philosophy is based on an understanding of how early
experiences
and relationships shape the course of our lives. I am a down to
earth
interactive psychotherapist who believes that positive long term change
can occur from building a safe therapeutic relationship. I
believe
it is possible to heal developmental gaps left from experiencing
trauma,
abuse, addiction or even very covert family patterns that are confusing
because your family "looks good", yet you feel empty, confused, sad and
at a loss to explain why. I make use of EMDR, mindfulness,
and a body focus at times to help people explore in deeper and more
immediate
ways.
Specialties:
- Compulsive
Behavior: Sex, love, relationships, etc.
- Intimacy
and Attachment Problems
- Exploring
Sexuality

Licensed
Clinical Social
Worker
( 503) 781

After 25+
years of providing
counseling I find my philosophy has gotten simpler and more to the
point.
Successful counseling is built on a positive and trusting relationship,
much as successful living is dependent on trusting, healthy
relationships.
I bring a broad array of treatment tools to my work including gestalt,
object relations and psychodynamic theory. Most importantly I
bring
myself; my heart, my humor, my understanding, knowledge and years of
experience.

Brad Larsen, PsyD
Psychotherapy is
about creating lasting change. Whether you are seeking relief
from depression, anxiety, grief and loss, or wanting to see significant
change in long held patterns in your life, I believe in the healing
power of the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for the work of
allowing change to occur.
I believe in creating value from depression, anxiety, grief and loss,
rather than trying to do away with it.
I work with people from various cultural, ethnic, and religious
backgrounds. I also work with people of all abilities, genders, and
sexual orientations. I am a gay male and have provided
individual, couple and group therapy since 2007.

Michael Kubetz,
MS, MFT, NCC
In my practice I
provide relationship focused therapy for adult couples and
individuals. It is my passion to support clients as they
unfold, progress and discover new insights. I believe the
therapeutic process can help increase awareness and lead to healthier
choices creating a greater sense of freedom and stability in our lives.
Within
my practice I create a non- threatening atmosphere of trust and safety
for all people. This environment provides a solid foundation for our
therapeutic relationship to develop and prosper.
I
work with clients collaboratively, exploring their mental and emotional
realms choosing from a variety of therapeutic techniques in combination
with my deep sense of intuition. In employing the technical with the
personal, we explore self-defeating thought and behavior patterns along
with their origins.
As a
gay man in the second half of my life, I have a personal understanding
of some of the challenges and victories GLB individuals have
experienced. Some classic areas of exploration often include the coming
out process, isolation within the larger culture, ageism, transitioning
from youngster to mentor, power and control issues, death and dying and
the subsequent grieving process.
As a
relationship counselor I pull from a variety of methods to support and
assist couples to gently identify their core challenges and explore new
solutions. Through this process my clients have experienced
increased communication and respect for themselves and their
partners.
I
offer reasonable rates and my office is conveniently located in NE
Portland with plenty of free parking. Please call for a
free 30-minute consultation. |

Jamie
Pettus, Psy.D
My focus (and my passion) is with the LGBT community, though I
certainly don't limit my work to 'family'! Rest assured, though, that
my counseling is gay/queer/trans friendly. I work with all kinds of
people from all walks of life and with all kinds of life challenges.
Whether you're interested in individual counseling or couples
counseling, I'd consider it an honor to work with you. My mission is to
provide quality therapy at an affordable fee.
In my therapy sessions, you won't typically find me telling you what to
do and how to do it, because I don't think that works for most people.
My role is supportive--you decide to change and you determine the
direction. I guide and support you in making the changes that work best
for you. And sometimes I can be like a mirror, reflecting you back to
yourself so that you can see yourself more clearly, or, at times, in a
new light. I feel strongly that you are the only expert on you. I
believe we have the answers within us--we just need some help finding
them.
I offer sliding scale fees, and will work with you to find a fee that
you can afford. I offer appointments in the evenings as well as during
the day. Have a look at my website for more information, or contact me
by email or phone.
