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!

Zara Roth

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


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.

Daren Ford

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Portland State University. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use, and I bring experience from interdisciplinary behavioral health settings where care often intersects with complex life circumstances.

My approach is collaborative, direct, and rooted in the understanding that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Mental health is deeply shaped by culture, community, history, and systems of power. Part of my work is intentionally engaging in a decolonizing approach to therapy—honoring lived experience, questioning one-size-fits-all models of care, and creating space for clients to define healing on their own terms.

I integrate frameworks such as American Society of Addiction Medicine and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as supportive tools—not rigid rules—while drawing from motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and relational work that centers respect, autonomy, and real connection.

I offer a focused practice in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), with careful attention to preparation, safety, and integration. This work is not just about the experience itself, but about making meaning of it in ways that align with your values, identity, and community.
