I work with adults who have noticed their use of substances becoming disruptive to their life. They want to change their patterns and habits before other areas are affected. My approach is practical and evidence-based. Understanding that changing habits can be deeply challenging, I provide a safe, straightforward place where sustainable habits can be built, without judgment.
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.
I believe that the healing space happens when someone feels safe, seen, and respected. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded, while also being able to challenge and empower my clients. I bring both clinical and real-world understanding into sessions. So, whether you are feeling stuck, over-whelmed, or just ready for a change, we will move at a pace that not only honors you, but provides you with the tools you will need to continue on your personal healing journey.
If your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, identity, or trauma, and you're trying to figure out who the right person to trust is, that instinct to be careful matters. I'm Sheridan, and I've spent 15 years working alongside young people and their families, mostly in school settings, where I learned to meet kids exactly where they are. I work with children, tweens, and teens. A few things your family should know about me: I'm an artist (painting, pottery, printmaking), I have a big snuggly dog, and I genuinely love to laugh. Families often describe me as warm and calm, with a real ability to attune. I also offer affirming, experienced support for LGBTQIA+ young people and teens exploring gender identity.
I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, with extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and other traumatic experiences. If you’ve been through something overwhelming, it can feel like a fog has settled over you, affecting every part of your life. You might find yourself overthinking, being on edge, shutting down, or feeling numb, even when you want to feel present and connected. Many people I work with feel stuck in this space and are unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll work to understand and process your emotions, thoughts, and past experiences so they no longer hold the same power over you.
Bicultural clinician with a passion for providing therapy to children, their families and individual adult clients.
I am deeply committed to supporting women who are navigating the overwhelm of modern life (relationships, career, identity of self) moving from survival mode to feeling calm, clear and safe. By identifying and healing the underlying origins of your distress we will work to restore your internal battery.
I have also spent 15+ years counseling parents and children prioritizing healthy communication tools, boundary setting and relationship repair using cognitive behavioral, collaborative problem solving and family systems interventions.
My background includes providing therapeutic services to children, families and adults in outpatient mental and school based K-8 integrated health clinics. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Case Manager in the state of Oregon.
I see you as a whole person, where your culture, heritage, and gender identity are respected and valued as core parts of your healing journey. Fluent in Spanish and English.
Many people come to therapy carrying more than they realize - old wounds, stress that won’t settle, or patterns that keep repeating. If you’ve been carrying trauma, you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. I offer a steady, compassionate space to explore what’s hurting and understand the patterns your mind and body have developed to cope. As a Licensed Professional Counselor focused on trauma, I use relational and mind‐body approaches to help you rebuild safety and self‐trust. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Portland
Searching for therapists in Portland starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Portland has many therapists across neighborhoods like the Pearl District, Hawthorne, Sellwood, and downtown, with experience supporting people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and background match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, including whether they use methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a major metro like Portland, having many choices can make it harder to narrow your search. Start with the practical details that shape whether a therapist is a usable fit: office location, appointment availability, virtual or in-person sessions, and whether they are accepting new patients. If you prefer in-person care, consider commute time, transit access, parking, and how the office fits into your routine. If your schedule changes often, virtual therapy may make it easier to meet with a therapist who fits your calendar. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist communicates, structures sessions, and describes what working together may look like.
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 make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for Portland therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and see real appointment availability in one place. You can compare therapists by specialty, format, schedule, and approach, then book directly when you find someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
