Welcome to the first step to your healing journey!
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about coming home to yourself. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more seen, and more aligned with who you really are, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
I am passionate about helping people find clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves. I work with adults and older adults navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions—and I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. I was drawn to this work because of my own journey. Growing up, I often found myself holding space for others—listening deeply, asking questions, and offering comfort. Over time, I realized that being present with people in their pain, and witnessing their growth, was not just something I cared about—it was something I was meant to do. That sense of purpose continues to guide me today.
Hi! I’m Ada Allaire, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and North Carolina. I earned my Master of Social Work degree with a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Georgia. I’ve worked with adolescents, teens, and adults helping them manage anxiety, depression, phobias, school stressors, parenting stressors, and the challenges life throws our way! My background includes medical and community-based settings. I bring a warm, down-to-earth style with a little humor to make therapy feel approachable.
You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius. Many men resonate with this wisdom from Stoic philosophy. Life brings disruption, trauma, career shifts, and family transitions that can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of who you are. I specialize in helping men reclaim identity and purpose after disruption. Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship strain, or questions of meaning, counseling offers a space to face these challenges directly while discovering resilience you may not yet see in yourself.
Hi, I’m Sayer, I’ve got a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons University and have been working in the field for over 15 years. Most of my experience has been supporting folks from marginalized populations in rural communities, which has taught me a lot about resilience, strength, and the power of healing.
I see therapy as a way to build tools for facing life’s challenges, especially from a trauma-informed perspective. My main focus is working with the 2SLGBTQ+ community — helping folks explore their identities, feel safe in who they are, and work through the unique challenges of being queer in today’s world, where trying to erase us is all too common.
If you're looking for a therapist who gets it — someone who’s real, caring, and understands the importance of showing up authentically — I’d love to connect with you.
