Lake Oswego Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Caroline McGrath

I support teens & young adults who are struggling with the stressors & anxieties of school, friends, families and life. Many of whom may also be experiencing other emotional or behavioral responses to the challenges they are experiencing. Using an integrated and holistic approach, we look at the relationships between emotions, thoughts, behaviors & life events. Through this process, finding the coping skills that work best to help create a calmer sense of self unfolds.

Cayla Panitz

I work with people looking to heal their relationship to food and their body; those with eating disorders; people struggling with anxiety and depression, those coping with grief and loss, those who are navigating identity challenges and people healing from personal, systemic and interpersonal trauma.

Miranda Bayard-Clark

Ann DeWitt

My clients are individuals, couples, and teens. Family relationships are our greatest joy, and yet... when things aren't working well, can be a near-constant source of frustration, disconnection, and stress. I help improve communication and problem-solving skills so you can work WITH the people in your family, not against them. My clients include moms and dads who are juggling work, home, marriage, friends, kids, and trying to retain (or regain) a sense of self.

Melissa Montello

Grief and loss tend to be focused heavily on death in our society. While death is a large component of grief, it is not the only component. Grief and loss can occur when you've had to end a relationship, lost a job, struggle to conceive, etc. That experience does not just stem from losing a loved one, it stems from many sources and those deserve to be held and witnessed.

Susan Reyes-Torres

Healing and wholeness is the goal in working with adults, couples, families on a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief/loss, ptsd, relationship issues, substance dependence, and life transitions.

Karen Neri

I work primarily with couples and adult family relationships on relational conflicts. In addition, I also work with individuals to address difficult experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, racial/ethnic Identity, acculturation, shame/critical self-view, and trauma. Together, we can work towards creating the change that will best serve you and your relationships.

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.

Leslie Taylor

I specialize in working with folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or substance use disorders. I am passionate about working with adolescents, couples, and adults and incorporate a systems perspective with each individual. All of us are affected by relationships and experiences. 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.

Laurie Kerridge

Kelle DeBruin

I’m continually curious about my clients. A recognition of the inner strength displayed through the story of an individual is my refrain in the therapy room.

Marla Christensen

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

Jessie Kaleikau

Are you feeling down, unable to go through life's challenges alone? Were you recently in a traumatic event, or are you experiencing anxiety that feels too heavy to hold alone? Anxiety, depression, life stressors, and trauma can be overwhelming and exhausting. I understand what it's like to feel alone and as if there is no where else to turn. Life can throw us curveballs, but I'm here to support you, give you tools, and walk alongside you in your healing journey.

Jason Wilkinson

Relationship are hard. There are times when everything you do ends up in a fight. Or maybe you avoid each other so you won't get into an argument. Even in marriage, you can feel like you are all alone. Everything just feels out of sync. Or maybe you are an adolescent or individual experiencing anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. School or work just isn't all that fulfilling, or the stress just feels unbearable. It doesn't have to be this way. Things can change. I can help you.

Lisette Heidtke

Much of my work has been with depression, anxiety, career development and assisting clients through life transitions. I believe everyone, with the right support and encouragement, has the ability to create their ideal life. I’ve helped many individuals gain confidence and skills necessary to thrive in their career or personal goals and accomplish plans outlined in our sessions.

Ben Copeland

Whether it's getting control of anxiety, overcoming addiction, rising up from depression, or settling relational conflicts, you are desiring healing and help. The immobilization of hopelessness, the pain and destabilization of loss, infidelity, or abuse are burdens that we were never meant to carry alone. You are here because you are looking to take that next step toward healing, trusting that something new is possible.

Mohini Bolkhovitinov

I graduated from the University of Southern California where I obtained my Masters's in Social Work. After graduating I completed my clinical hours working in acute psychiatric care and then with adults and families struggling with the loss of housing. The experience I gained has humbled me and contributed to the significance I hold in providing trauma-informed and culturally competent care. After becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have enjoyed working in a private practice setting.
