Family therapy and counseling in Beaverton, OR

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with dual degrees in Educational and Clinical Psychology. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, adjustment disorders, OCD, life transitions or crises, and family or parent–child relationship issues.

I provide therapy in both English and Russian, with deep understanding of the Russian-speaking culture and its unique family dynamics.

If your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, identity, or trauma, and you're trying to figure out who the right person to trust is, that instinct to be careful matters. I'm Sheridan, and I've spent 15 years working alongside young people and their families, mostly in school settings, where I learned to meet kids exactly where they are. I work with children, tweens, and teens. A few things your family should know about me: I'm an artist (painting, pottery, printmaking), I have a big snuggly dog, and I genuinely love to laugh. Families often describe me as warm and calm, with a real ability to attune. I also offer affirming, experienced support for LGBTQIA+ young people and teens exploring gender identity.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with the whole system -- the relationships -- both INTRApersonal and INTERpersonal relationships. I support individuals with their own internal landscape as well as their way of connecting and relating with others. I was trained as a Deaf Educator and can support people with various learning styles and needs. I also work with mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, and Reiki to bring in a holistic approach to mental health.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, and families across a range of concerns. My specialties include anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, and child and adolescent therapy with parent coaching. I enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and build healthier relationships and coping strategies.

Extensive background and highly skilled in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression. Expertise in family systems, generational trauma and its impact, healing attachment disruptions, healing shame, trauma-informed, and interpersonal trauma recovery.

As your therapist, you will find that I am warm, compassionate and direct. You'll quickly see that I am not here to judge you and am here to support you to explore yourself and your beliefs. Over time, we'll work together to rewrite stories that are no longer serving you. I will help you feel empowered to come back to feeling content and like you're treating yourself with the kindness that you show other people. I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient, community mental health, community college and private practice. I have over 10 years of experience providing therapy to help adults and adolescents feel better within themselves.

I grew up in rural PA working on my grandfather's potato farm, learning equine therapy benefits starting at age eight. I joined the food industry as a waitress and worked throughout my RN undergrad.

I began my nursing career after earning my BSN from IUP in 2015, stepping directly into the fast‐paced world of behavioral health care within emergency room settings. Those early years shaped my clinical foundation and deepened my commitment to supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I continued to grow, learning medicine, therapeutic communications skills, de-escalation techniques while working inpatient contracts at various facilities across PA, including child and adolescent units, adult and geriatric units, and correctional facility contracts.

Driven to expand efficient care through impact, I completed my MSN as a Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in November 2024. I initially provided inpatient hospital care, gaining valuable experiences in a new psychiatric treatment facility. As my career and family needs evolved, I discovered that remote psychiatric care offered the balance and flexibility that best supported both my professional goals and home life balance. My passion for farms, animals, and my large blended and busy family will help my clients see why I enjoy offering them a decade of behavioral health experience. With my advanced PMHNP training, I will deliver compassionate, accessible mental health support in a comfortable virtual setting.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated as more than a diagnosis. I take the time to understand the whole person, considering the biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, creating personalized treatment plans that support lasting wellness. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident throughout your mental health journey.
