In today’s world, many of us are carrying more than just personal stress. Climate concerns, the pandemic, economic instability, political division, and rapid cultural change have created a sense of collective trauma that deeply impacts our mental health. In my work, I recognize that individual struggles don’t exist in isolation—they are shaped by the larger systems and environments we live in.

My goal has always been to support people navigating trauma, personality disorders, depression, and anxiety by exploring the deeper layers of the psyche. Together, we work to build self-awareness, understand unconscious patterns, and develop practical tools that support meaningful and lasting change. I work with a diverse range of clients, from adolescents to older adults (ages 13–65+).

My therapeutic style is eclectic, integrative, and holistic. I draw from a variety of approaches to meet each client where they are, while also acknowledging how societal structures can influence mental health. Areas of particular interest in my work include complex trauma, the psychological impacts of modern economic systems, eco-anxiety, non-dogmatic spirituality, and emerging perspectives in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Above all, I believe healing happens in a space of safety and authenticity. I strive to create a judgment-free, inclusive environment where clients are met with unconditional positive regard, empathy, validation, and genuine care.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, searching for deeper understanding, or simply looking for support, you are welcome to reach out.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Portland, OR


Hello, my name is Sherri Crespin, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner passionate about providing integrated care for complex mental health challenges, including personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, substance use disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice recognizes these conditions are interconnected in ways requiring specialized understanding.

I chose these specializations because I understand how trauma influences personality development, how ADHD complicates substance use recovery, how symptoms emerge during extreme stress, and how these complex interactions require providers who see the complete picture. Whether you're in recovery while managing other conditions, dealing with personality patterns that developed as survival mechanisms, or navigating multiple diagnoses, I bring the expertise needed for comprehensive care.

My approach emphasizes evidence-based treatments and the healing power of being truly understood. I recognize that seeking help for stigmatized conditions like personality disorders takes tremendous courage, especially after negative experiences with providers. I create a therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences without judgment or shame.

You can expect a thorough assessment, personalized treatment planning, and consistent support throughout our work together. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and thrive in your daily life.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Convince Njiru and I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I’m passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that empowers individuals to achieve balance, healing, and personal growth.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Portland

Finding OCD therapists in Portland starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder concerns. OCD can include intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination fears, rumination, and harm-related obsessions. Some therapists may use structured approaches to support people with OCD, and a qualified mental health professional can help determine what type of care may be appropriate. Not all therapists are trained in ERP, so look for this modality in bios when comparing therapists for obsessive thoughts, pure O concerns, or anxiety and OCD therapy near you.

Portland has many therapy options across neighborhoods like downtown, the Pearl District, Southeast Portland, and nearby areas, which can make narrowing the search more complex. Consider whether an in-person office works with your commute, transit route, or schedule, or whether virtual appointments give you more flexibility. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond a therapist who lists OCD as a specialty and review whether their bio mentions ERP training, exposure work, anxiety and OCD experience, or structured session plans. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.

Therapy in Portland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on OCD, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new clients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, read therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
