Is your trauma, PTSD, anxiety & grief constantly getting activated? Do you feel like you can never get beyond what has happened to you? Together we will create a warm, compassionate, and understanding environment to help you get in touch and learn how to deal with the rollercoaster of emotions. I have developed a unique approach through building the therapeutic relationship to work with individuals struggling with stress, relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma response, and self- harm. My clinical experience, calm demeanor, and aspiration for trust, help build meaningful relationships with clients through exploration of life. I have been a clinical social worker since 2017 and have a life long history of working with children and families. My career as a social worker has taken me on many paths including child welfare, crisis response teams, hospital emergency room response, medical clinic behavioral health, hospice (most spiritual work ever), and meanwhile have always had my private pratice. I love to incorporate animal assisted therapy as who doesn't love dogs and horses? My speciality is working with trauma and I am constantly training to have the most up to date skills and be the best in my field.

As a LCSW with 20+ years of experience, I believe healing happens in a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to begin. I work alongside clients to gently explore patterns, emotions, and experiences while building skills for coping, growth, and self-understanding.

Rebecca Mooty

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


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.

Bicultural bilingual clinician with a passion for providing therapy to individual adult clients struggling with anxiety and depression, may it be related to life changes and/or a history of trauma. I am deeply committed to supporting women who are navigating the overwhelm of modern life (relationships, career, parenting, health) moving from survival mode to feeling calm, clear and safe. By identifying and healing the underlying origins of your distress we will work to restore your internal battery.

Daren Ford

Daren Ford

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


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.

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I've spent 14 years working with people who are dealing with things that don't have easy answers — addiction, trauma that won't stay in the past, chronic illness, grief, and the invisible weight of caregiving for someone else. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based on the Oregon coast, and I work with adults across Oregon via telehealth. I'm direct, warm, and a little bit funny — therapy doesn't have to feel like a performance. I'll tell you what I actually think, ask you questions that get somewhere, and we'll adjust the approach based on what's actually helping you. I treat anxiety, OCD, depression, PTSD, substance use, and a range of life transitions — including the ones that hit when you're already tired.
