I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where it feels safe to lay all your cards out on the table without fear of being judged. Our lives can sometimes be brutal, or exceedingly beautiful, and everything in between. I'm here for all of it. I find that I work particularly well with people who are struggling with major life transitions, grief, and managing chronic conditions.

Virtual & in-person • 7.3 mi away • Beaverton, OR


I work with adults who are navigating trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, self esteem issues, or, not uncommonly, a combination of the listed. My passion is to empower individuals to reconnect with their authentic selves by walking folks through their past wounds and current limitations that keep us from being grounded. I also work within other ranges such as inner child work, attachment styles, childhood trauma, generational trauma, spirituality, and the LGBTQIA community+. I am also passionate about working with fellow therapists through Clinical Supervision or counseling as I focus on imposter syndrome and integration of self.

Hello, my name is Jessica Garbutt Burden, and I have been working as a licensed Clinical Social Worker for 9 Years and in the field for 16year.

I then began working with at-risk youth as a program director in Campfire USA's school-based program in partnership with the Police Actvity League and Sun Schools.

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Portland

Finding ADHD therapists in Portland starts with knowing what kind of support you want. ADHD therapy can focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, organization, time management, and support for related concerns like anxiety or depression. Some people look for a therapist for ADHD, while others may also want medication management from a psychiatrist. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your age group, goals, and needs.

Portland has many therapists across neighborhoods like Northwest Portland, Sellwood, Alberta, and the Pearl District, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Consider whether an in-person office fits your commute, transit route, or schedule, or whether virtual appointments give you more flexibility. It also helps to compare availability, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Provider bios can show how a therapist works with ADHD, whether they also support co-occurring concerns, and what a first session may look like.

ADHD therapy in Portland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
