ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Hillsboro, OR

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.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with three years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient care, and I specialize in ADHD, PTSD, depression, grief, and women's issues. I'm EMDR-trained and bring a holistic, humorous, and open-minded style to our work together — you can expect real talk, not clinical distance.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at any stage—whether you’re navigating adolescence, adulthood, relationships, parenting, or the transitions that come with aging. Anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes can disrupt how you think, feel, and connect with others. Therapy offers a supportive place to slow down, feel understood, and develop effective tools to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.

Life doesn’t come with a roadmap—and when stress, anxiety, grief, or major changes pile up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin finding your way forward with clarity and confidence.

I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change so you can feel more confident, grounded, and at peace.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals across the lifespan, including:

• Teenagers and young adults
• Adults experiencing anxiety, depression, or life transitions
• Women and single mothers
• Men facing male-specific challenges
• Older adults navigating aging-related concerns

I also work with couples, parents, and business partners, helping strengthen communication, emotional understanding, and connection.

If you're feeling stuck, challenged, or noticing yourself repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many people reach a point where they feel unsure about how to move forward or how to live in a way that feels more aligned with who they truly are. Together, we can work through these burdens and begin exploring what may be keeping you from experiencing the life you want. If you're not sure what your goals are or what might be preventing you from moving forward, that is a perfectly valid place to begin—or continue—your path toward change, clarity, and healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Counseling and a secondary focus in Art Therapy. My background allows me to incorporate both traditional therapeutic approaches and creative expression when helpful, offering multiple ways to explore emotions, gain insight, and support meaningful personal growth.

I’m a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with clients across the lifespan. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Arizona and have experience caring for individuals in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and higher-acuity mental health settings. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, OCD, mood disorders, and substance use. I take a thoughtful, practical, and individualized approach to care, with the goal of helping clients feel understood, safe, supported, and comfortable being honest when feeling emotionally vulnerable.

Kellie has a Masters Degree in Social work for PSU and has more than 20 years experience working in the Mental Health Development and Community Practice. Kellie is certified in EMDR therapy, and has extensive experience in trauma informed practice, Internal FamilySystems, LGBTQIA+ wellness, Grief, Spirituality, and ADHD. She practices a foundational approach in Mindfulness Based Theory and the Mind-Body connection. She approaches healing through a person centered, humanistic, collaborative effort between the therapist and the client, to find integration and balance of the holistic self.

I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I did my own work first — after years in a career that looked fine from the outside and felt hollow on the inside, something finally clicked. I live with ADHD and ASD myself, and I'll be direct: it makes me better at this. I'm wired to hold fine details and the big picture simultaneously, connect patterns across a history, and notice what other providers might miss. I work especially well with children and adolescents (ages 6+), perinatal and antepartum folks, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are AFAB or identify as women — many navigating ADHD, autism, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, mood disorders, or a diagnosis that never quite fit. If previous providers didn't get the full picture of you, that's exactly the gap I'm here to close.
