Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I'm Anna Bellard, LCSW, a trauma therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, PSTD, and the lasting impact of trauma. I specialize in EMDR therapy and somatic-based approaches that help clients heal not just mentally, but through the nervous system as a whole.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Vermont and completed my Master of Social Work at University of Denver in 2020. My clinical background includes inpatient psychiatric care, adult partial hospitalization (PHP), and dual-diagnosis treatment, where I worked with complex trauma, mood disorders, and substance use.

Overtime, my work led me to focus on individual therapy for adults seeking deeper healing, emotional regulation, and reconnection with themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct.

My approach feels more like a genuine conversation than a clinical checklist. I want to get to know the whole you, not just the challenges you're facing. Seeking psychiatric care can feel vulnerable, so I work to create a warm, judgment-free space where you can speak openly from the very first moment we connect.

Everything starts with your story, told in your own words: what's been going on, how long it's been affecting you, what you've already tried, and what matters most to you. I also look at the bigger picture, including your background, family history, medical health, and daily life. Sleep, stress, relationships, and work all have a direct impact on mental well-being, so they're part of our conversations too.

Whether you're seeking help for ADHD, anxiety, depression, or something else altogether, I focus on how these concerns show up in your life in particular, because no two people experience them the same way. When I work with parents, I value your perspective and worries, and I'm just as interested in your child's strengths as in their struggles.

I believe in transparency. I'll share how I'm thinking through your situation, which treatments might help, and the reasoning behind my recommendations. Shared decision-making is central to my work, so when medication is appropriate, we'll weigh the benefits and drawbacks together, along with practical and lifestyle changes that support your goals. You'll never feel rushed into a decision before you're ready.

Care doesn't end after one visit. I check in on how you're doing, listen closely to your feedback, and adjust our plan as your needs change. Progress isn't always linear, and that's okay. Your questions and input are welcome every step of the way.

My goal is for you to feel truly heard, understood, and hopeful about what lies ahead, with a clear sense of direction and a plan that feels achievable. Reaching out for support takes real courage, and I'm glad you're here.

Maddie Asghari

Maddie Asghari

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Portland, OR


Hello, my name is Maddie Asghari. As a bilingual (English/Farsi) board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide culturally sensitive care for complex psychiatric needs, including ADHD, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice serves those who may have felt misunderstood by traditional approaches, particularly within diverse cultural contexts.

I specialize in complex presentations because mental health exists within your entire life experience, relationships, cultural background, and personal history. Whether you're managing ADHD alongside trauma, dealing with OCD symptoms that emerged during difficult periods, or navigating personality patterns as adaptive responses, I work to understand how these experiences shaped you and what healing means within your cultural framework.

My approach emphasizes comprehensive assessment and integrated treatment planning. Many patients come to me after years of confusion or fragmented care. I conduct thorough evaluations, identify overlooked patterns, and develop holistic approaches that address your full spectrum of needs rather than treating conditions in isolation.

I'm committed to creating a partnership where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Speaking both English and Farsi allows me to connect with clients in their preferred language, honoring cultural nuances. Together, we'll work toward authentic flourishing in all areas that matter to you and build lasting resilience.

IMPORTANT: For current availability, visit https://mentalhealthpractitioners.com/ or call or text us anytime at 415-968-6515—we make it super easy! Intake forms are required before your first appointment. You can text us your info or email us at [email protected]. Please send us a picture of your insurance information and photo ID!

If you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, or depression, you’ve found a warm and steady place to start. I’m a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and mindfulness has been a deeply important part of my own life and my work for nearly 30 years. Over the years, I’ve completed intensive meditation training in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, experiences that have profoundly shaped how I understand healing, presence, and the connection between mind and body. I’d be honored to bring all of that to you.

I'm Holly, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 23 years of clinical experience in psychiatric care and maternal-child health. This dual background has shaped how I see mental health: not as something separate from the rest of your life, but deeply woven into every transition, relationship, and challenge you face. My work taught me that women's mental health—especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and hormonal transitions—requires specialized understanding and individualized care.

I provide comprehensive psychiatric treatment for adults across a broad spectrum of conditions: perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD and trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia spectrum conditions. I have particular expertise in women's mental health throughout the reproductive years, though I welcome anyone seeking compassionate, evidence-based care.

My approach is straightforward: effective treatment should fit your real life. I combine psychiatric interventions—including medication management when appropriate—with practical therapeutic strategies and lifestyle modifications that actually work for you. I'll help you understand what's happening, why it's happening, and what options make sense for your unique situation.

What matters most to me is seeing you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. You have strengths, values, relationships, and goals that deserve attention alongside your symptoms. Whether you're managing a long-standing condition, processing trauma, navigating major life changes, or simply seeking better balance, you deserve a provider who recognizes your potential and partners with you toward sustainable wellness.

Erica Linch

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


At Prosody Mental Health, my goal is to support individuals to build skills to prosper in their neurodivergent identity. As someone who received my autism diagnosis later in life, I spent a good portion of my life believing that there was something intrinsically wrong with me. In learning about my own neurodivergence, I've learned to love the way my brain works and have built skills to unmask so I can be my authentic self.

I believe that your neurodivergence is not the problem, rather having to learn how to adapt to a world that was not built for you has added undue stress and caused you to create maladaptive coping mechanisms to survive.
