Peyton Kline

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


Throughout my three decades as a therapist, I have discovered that one of the most important skills I have developed is the ability to listen deeply. Along the way, I have gained a broad range of therapeutic tools and approaches, but I have learned that meaningful change begins when people feel truly heard. My mentors are the horse whisperers. I believe they listen with their whole body. They trust the intuitive nature of their horse. I like to think that I use some of this as I work with each client, trusting their intuitive nature. Together we are learning what is present in the room, gaining new insights and feeling more empowered.

Hi, I'm Collin — and I'm glad you found your way here.

We might be a great fit if you're a parent struggling to connect with, understand, or feel confident in parenting your child. Or perhaps you're part of a couple caught in a cycle of conflict, searching for healthier ways to communicate and reconnect. I also work with teens (and their parents) who are feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply in need of a safe space to process and build coping skills.

Carli VanDenHouten

Carli VanDenHouten

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Oregon


Hi! I'm Carli, and I'm a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in the Pacific Northwest. I work with teens and adults navigating everything from anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma to burnout, life transitions, and the stress of living in an increasingly complex world.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative and tailored to you as a whole person—not just your symptoms. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported from the very beginning.

Care with me is flexible and designed to meet you where you are. Together, we'll find the pace, treatment approach, and level of support that fits your needs—and adapt as those needs evolve.

My educational background includes undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Nursing, followed by a master's degree in nursing specializing in psychiatric mental health. Throughout my career I've cared for patients across outpatient clinics, psychiatric and medical inpatient units, intensive outpatient programs, and community mental health settings.

My approach is rooted in whole-person care, recognizing that mental health is influenced by far more than medication alone. When appropriate, treatment may include medication, supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle strategies, and integrative approaches tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Today, I provide telehealth psychiatric care for adolescents and adults across Oregon and Washington. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and am committed to providing affirming, individualized care for neurodivergent individuals, people with developmental disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I commonly treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, mood disorders, stress, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I’m Dr. Heather Cromwell, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy to adults in Alaska and Oregon. I have over 10 years of experience working in behavioral health across outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings, including extensive work with individuals experiencing serious and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

My background includes a Ph.D. and Master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, along with years of leadership and program development experience in behavioral healthcare. I bring both clinical expertise and a practical, person-centered approach to therapy.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and emotionally safe. My style is warm, collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in authenticity. I work to create a space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process feel approachable and comfortable from the very beginning.

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Portland

Finding addiction therapists in Portland starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, compulsive behaviors, and recovery maintenance. As you compare therapists, look for training that matches what you want to work on, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, relapse prevention, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Portland has many addiction counselors across neighborhoods like Northwest Portland, Southeast Portland, and the Pearl District, which can make it useful to narrow your search by format, schedule, and approach. In-person sessions may fit well if you prefer a local office near work, home, or transit. Virtual sessions can expand access when schedule, commute, or provider availability matters. Read therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their work with addiction, whether they mention harm reduction or recovery experience, and whether their communication style feels like a fit.

Therapy in Portland can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process simpler by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, offering upfront cost estimates after insurance verification, and letting you book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare addiction therapists in Portland by specialty, availability, location, and insurance fit.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
