Lake Oswego Therapists specializing in Depression

Azhar Sultanova

Often, eating disorder shows up in one’s life as a little voice that tells you “you are not worthy “, “you are ugly” etc. This voice invalidates your experience and feelings, berates your character and criticizes your appearance. ED becomes an internal bully, which only gets stronger as you listen to it and try to get to its unrealistic standard by engaging in destructive behaviors. I can help you to start hearing your own voice, create a new narrative for your life and break free from ED.

I work with Women and Couples and those wanting treatment help for ADHD to reduce the chaos and create more connection in their lives.

Pillars of Hope Counseling is about courage, trust, and strength. It takes courage to recognize the need or desire for help. Trust to explore a variety of perspectives and opportunities. Strength to rise above tough challenges. These are the pillars we all possess but often don’t see in ourselves. I help people realize their talents, uncover hidden passions, find forgotten dreams, and overcome difficult life events.

Joshua Ziegler

Through all stages of life, from birth to death, I help individuals, couples and families get through troubled times, tackle new and old problems and develop realistic and sustainable solutions. We answer questions like "how will you know therapy is helping you?" and "what changes will others notice about you that will let you know therapy is working?"

Kimberly Dickenson

This time of life can be overwhelming, so full of change and new that sometimes it feels like too much. It can be confusing trying to figure out who you are, what you believe, how to be in relationships with others and even with yourself! Developing autonomy is exciting and it can also be scary to have to “adult” so much. You are taking responsibility for yourself, but probably still feel like you are ‘not quite’ an adult. I love to help people navigate this in-between time.

But we are also affected by the larger systems around us. I want to understand your personal experience within both your family and immediate community as well as the larger community encompassing it.

Individuals experience circumstances within the context of a system. In relationship therapy, my philosophy is to take into account each person within different systems including, family, couples, children, extended family, and relationships within your workplace. Each individual adds to the dynamic of relationships through his or her experiences. My clinical focus is through the lens of attachment, that is, how are the bonds we are creating effective or ineffective in our current lives. You are
