My name is Angel Kammeyer and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am originally from California but have lived in Oregon since 2014. I received a Master’s Degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling. I also completed a B.S. in Psychology at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, OR. I have worked in various positions within the community mental health field for over ten years. And I look forward to a long career where my community members, especially people of color, veterans, women, and individuals needing a cheerleader and advocate in their corner, can receive the care that they deserve.
I believe in creating a safe space for individuals to be vulnerable, open, and honest. As we work together, I will use my skills and voice to empower you to share your narrative. Therapy is a journey and I encourage you to take things one day at a time and know that you are worthy and powerful beyond measures. I want to understand you as a person and hope that you will soon be able to see yourself for who you are and not by what society or your diagnosis tells you. Seeking mental health treatment is a big step and I want to celebrate this journey with you.
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.

Welcome! I am a compassionate psychiatric nurse practitioner with a strong foundation in mental health care. I specialize in therapeutic communication, medication management, and promoting wellness. I bring a holistic approach to care based upon the foundations of psychology and behavioral health.
I spent 18 years as a firefighter and EMT, showing up for people at their most vulnerable and helping heal their physical wounds. Now, I bring that same dedication to helping people heal their emotional wounds as a Licensed Professional Counselor with Love Focused Counseling. I've been in the mental health field since 2012 — from residential care to private practice — and I founded my practice on one belief: the most important relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself. When that relationship is strong and stable, you can show up fully in every other area of your life.
Therapy works best when you don't have to leave part of yourself at the door. With more than 25 years working with individuals, couples, and families, I help people navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and some of the passages that are hardest to put into words: infertility, pregnancy loss, maternal mental health, and the particular weight that women carry through seasons of life that rarely get enough support. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and my practice is open to people of all faith backgrounds as well as those without religious beliefs. Whatever you believe, you are welcome here.
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.
Welcome! I am Jeremy Wade, a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over two decades of healthcare experience. After spending 25 years as an ER provider and clinical leader, I saw too many patients hospitalized simply because they couldn't access proactive outpatient psychiatric care. Driven by a passion to help this underserved population, I stepped away from the ER to dedicate myself fully to mental wellness. Today, I combine my deep medical background with my growing mental health expertise to treat the "whole you" in a safe, welcoming, and collaborative environment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Portland, OR
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.
