With 33 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I've worked alongside people of all ages-teenagers navigating identify and stress, adults managing trauma, anxiety and mood disorders and seniors facing grief, loss and major life transitions. I've practiced in community mental health, crisis response, primary care and outpatient settings-this variety and extent of experience contributes to how I show up for you in every session.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder and stress management. I work with adolescents, adults and older adults and I accept many major insurance plans-Including Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, BCBS, Regence, Carelong and Quest. All sessions are virtual, which means you can access consistent, quality care without leaving home.

I hold a Masters of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and am fully licensed in Oregon and Washington.

I've been a social worker since 2012 after receiving my MSW at Indiana University School of Social Work. I specialize in working with trauma, substance use, depression, and anxiety with a whole-person mindset. I use a warm and supportive approach in working with my clients.

Hello! I am Renell Kumeh, an advanced practice registered nurse, with dual certification in family medicine and psychiatry, licensed in OR, WA, DC, TX, FL, NV, ND, CT, MA and pending licensures in other states. At the core of my values is treating others the way I would like to be treated.

I am passionate about children, adolescents and adults, especially for the well-being of families. I have been a Special Education Teacher and Counselor for over 35 years. My philosopy is based on a psychodynamic, holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to enrich lives and help heal emotional wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the use of Expressive Arts are helpful in changing thinking patterns and perceptions that impede growth and awareness. I believe in the process of our God-given Life and strengths within each of us to shine more brightly.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Portland State University. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use, and I bring experience from interdisciplinary behavioral health settings where care often intersects with complex life circumstances.

My approach is collaborative, direct, and rooted in the understanding that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Mental health is deeply shaped by culture, community, history, and systems of power. Part of my work is intentionally engaging in a decolonizing approach to therapy—honoring lived experience, questioning one-size-fits-all models of care, and creating space for clients to define healing on their own terms.

I integrate frameworks such as American Society of Addiction Medicine and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as supportive tools—not rigid rules—while drawing from motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and relational work that centers respect, autonomy, and real connection.

I offer a focused practice in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), with careful attention to preparation, safety, and integration. This work is not just about the experience itself, but about making meaning of it in ways that align with your values, identity, and community.

I believe healing begins with connection- to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I create a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported as we navigate life’s challenges together.
