Trauma-Informed Therapy & Psychiatry in Salem, Oregon
No waitlist! Counseling and psychiatry services are available in-person and via telehealth across Oregon.
Overthinking a text for an hour. Saying “yes” automatically and regretting it later. Feeling responsible for everyone else’s comfort. Shutting down in conflict and then replaying it for days. How very human.
Humans adapt to stress in all kinds of ways. In therapy, we gently trace the threads of how these patterns formed — in relationships, in environments, in moments that asked too much — and create space for something steadier to take root.

Therapy here isn't about "fixing." It's about making sense of what happened — and how it shaped the present.
Our clinicians maintain ongoing, rigorous training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care. Clinical expertise matters, as does the understanding that each person is the expert in their own story.
When medication is part of the picture, our psychiatric nurse practitioners approach that work with the same philosophy: unhurried appointments, genuine collaboration, and care that considers the whole person — not just symptoms. Therapy and medication support can work side by side or independently. In either case, the foundation remains steady, relational, and human.
