Konrad Von Walther

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.5 mi away • Portland, OR


I work with people feeling unsatisfied with their current life and emotional situations, looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, connection, and/or balance in their lives. I help find the connection between their thoughts and feelings. I explore how desires manifest themselves as: depression, anxiety, fears, disinterest, grief, low self-esteem, etc. I also explore how these impact their body. He offers spiritual guidance and perspectives to those that wish. All services must be approved by provider

I often use the attachment style as one ways of looking at your personal situation. This helps you as we explore your specific style of attachment, identifying barriers you wish to change or overcome. I am person centered and walk together with you on this journey of discovery and health. I focus on limbic regulation.

I work with a variety of cultural backgrounds, drawing from my own diverse heritage. I specialize in communication, complex emotional situations, history of loss, conceptualizing and creating plans to measure progress toward mental and emotional well-being. Your time is your life, your success, and your independence.
