“Like a lotus flower, we too have the ability to rise from the mud, blossom out of the darkness, and radiate into the world.” I believe meaningful therapy begins with a space where you feel safe enough to show up as your full, authentic self. I work with adults, and some of the areas I have experience with include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, and life transitions, among others. I offer LGBTQIA2S+ affirming care and warmly welcome clients exploring body image, sexuality, ethical non monogamy, polyamory, and other parts of authentic self expression.
I'm Anna Bellard, LCSW, a trauma therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, PSTD, and the lasting impact of trauma. I specialize in EMDR therapy and somatic-based approaches that help clients heal not just mentally, but through the nervous system as a whole.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Vermont and completed my Master of Social Work at University of Denver in 2020. My clinical background includes inpatient psychiatric care, adult partial hospitalization (PHP), and dual-diagnosis treatment, where I worked with complex trauma, mood disorders, and substance use.
Overtime, my work led me to focus on individual therapy for adults seeking deeper healing, emotional regulation, and reconnection with themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct.
Hi, I'm Lauren Brown, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience providing compassionate, individualized care across the lifespan. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University and have worked in diverse settings, including Nationwide Children's Hospital, federally qualified health centers, and private practice. I'm licensed in Oregon.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I have a special interest in supporting high-achieving women and girls managing ADHD, burnout, perfectionism, and emotional overwhelm, often while juggling demanding careers, family responsibilities, or academic pressures. I also work closely with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, offering neurodivergent-affirming care that honors how your brain works.
I believe medication management works best when it's collaborative, not prescriptive. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric treatment with practical lifestyle strategies, psychoeducation, and a genuine commitment to understanding your unique story. Whether you're a parent seeking support for your child, a professional struggling with burnout, or someone who has felt misunderstood by the healthcare system, my goal is to help you feel seen, validated, and empowered.
I specialize in long-term, relationship-centered care that grows with you. I'm here not just to manage symptoms, but to walk alongside you through growth, setbacks, and healing. I integrate neuroscience, trauma-informed principles, and real-world coping tools into treatment, and I offer parent coaching and family support when helpful.
Above all, I want my practice to feel safe, judgment-free, and human. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, and I'm honored you're considering taking that step. Whenever you're ready, I'd be glad to meet you and learn your story.
I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Clarity Psychiatry. I work with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, and burnout. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I believe feeling heard and understood is the foundation of good care :)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience. I work primarily with adults, supporting individuals navigating challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and empowerment, and I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their goals and heal at their own pace.
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.
