Family therapy and counseling in Oregon

My experience is centered on collaborating with youth, adults, and families. During these developing years and shifting dynamics, additional care for our health is needed. I work with emotional regulation, relational rifts, enhancing communication, and acceptance of self.

With attachment focused therapy as my base, I utilize mindfulness and experiential approaches in our work together. Our conversations and therapeutic activities are guided by your experience and goals.

With more than 20 years of experience, I have helped adults, children, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Social Work and believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I see therapy as a partnership, where you set the direction and I provide support, guidance, and encouragement along the way.

I have worked with clients and their families in various capacities for the past 12 years. I have found that I love helping people heal from past traumas and overcome whatever is holding them back. Through my training, I have found that the brain and body have incredible healing mechanisms hardwired into them. I am honored to be able to help others unlock those healing aspects and to help people enjoy their lives more fully. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Religious Studies and later completed my Master of Arts in Counseling at Multnomah University in Portland, Oregon. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington.

Hello, I'm Dr. Chris Norris. If you feel stuck in patterns you understand but can't seem to change—whether that's anxiety, depression, forms of addiction, workplace stress, marital stress, or the daily challenges of living with social communication challenges, autism, or ADHD—I can help.

For more than 36 years, I've helped people make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. I've done this work in schools, crisis shelters, recovery centers, and private practice, and today I also train future clinicians at Pepperdine University.

Lifelong learning is one of my core values. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Behavior Analyst, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and National Certified Counselor. My background allows me to bring together talk therapy and the science of behavior in our work. We'll look not only at what you're thinking and feeling, but at the patterns that keep problems going—and what you can realistically do differently to create change that lasts.

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels safe, collaborative, and deeply human. My style is warm, compassionate, and direct, and I work to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged toward growth. I draw from an integrative, holistic framework that includes psychodynamic exploration, systems therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, EMDR, and humanistic-existential approaches. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, attachment wounds, emotional dysregulation, burnout, self-worth concerns, or major life transitions. I have worked extensively with individuals facing complex trauma, personality-related challenges, adoption, migration, and recovery from human and sexual trafficking. For organizations, I also provide Mental Health and Psychosocial Support services.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated as more than a diagnosis. I take the time to understand the whole person, considering the biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, creating personalized treatment plans that support lasting wellness. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident throughout your mental health journey.

Being human is hard & asking for help is a huge step. I work with my clients to develop deep insight into relationship with self, others & areas for change/growth. I focus on alleviating distressing symptoms around concerns including (not limited to) anxiety, depression & trauma. I have found success in the work I do with my clients in moving towards relief, clarity, healthy coping, & better relationships. I am sincerely invested in my clients & helping them achieve reprieve from their human suffering. My clients can expect warmth, transparency, & honesty in our work together. You will be met where you're at & accepted as you are.

My clients are the “overthinkers” in the world...with big feelings that are hard to explain. They feel misunderstood, lonely and isolated while striving to please others at the expense of themselves. They’re exhausted, overworked, and over-stressed, feeling like they’re never enough. They have a vision for life, but aren’t sure how to bring it together, especially after a life-changing event. They're also eager for change.

Does this sound like you? If so, I warmly welcome you to my practice.
