I have a world class education, but there is more to me than that: There have been many iterations of "Alan" over the long years of my life. There is the drug addict that has walked the clean and sober path for 33 years. There is the truck driver and the tattoo artist, the husband (married 31 years), the father, the grandfather, the great grandfather, the foster father, the step-father. There is the Buddhist and the philosopher. I am reaching out to you. There is nothing you can tell me that will offend me.

And I can write a darned good introduction too! LOL!

I hope to meet you soon!

Therapist

Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.

My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Portland, OR

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
