Tigard Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Demi Keitel

I work with clients who are wanting to navigate a myriad of life circumstances and need coping skills along with support to move through these experiences. Many of which are struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidality, mood disorders, body image, eating disorders, codependency, and strained relationships. I specialize in working with clients that have complex trauma histories, as well as those who struggle with impulsivity, behavioral patterns and addiction.

Kelle DeBruin

While the general term of, "anxiety" covers a large spectrum of what is common in our world today, the work of understanding and dealing with your own anxiety is very specific and is often better understood and managed with help. My role is to act as a coach and a guide in understanding the root of your own anxiety with the understanding that every person's experience is unique and speaks to their own story and understanding.

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

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.

Rebekah Lubeck

Anxiety takes the sticky parts of our brain and turns it up to 11. If it feels like the brain is acting like a sticky fly trap of scary thoughts, endless what-ifs, or replaying that one time, you are not alone. Sometimes brains are like that. We can work together to turn the brain's worry-meter down to a place where it isn't just warning lights flashing.

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.

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.

Kathy Hardie-Williams

I specialize in counseling high conflict families, couples, adolescents, and individuals who are seeking to embrace a strong sense of self in order to improve their relationships. This is a process that must occur prior to increasing the emotional bond with others and includes identifying what you want, articulating what you want and need, taking ownership for your contribution to the problem, and increasing the capacity to accept and tolerate differences.

Melissa Montello

I want to work with you right where you are at. This is your journey, and I am here to offer support and resources to guide you in the direction you desire to go. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, have unhealed wounds and trauma from the past, or are currently struggling with issues such as infertility, grief and loss (not just death experiences), or just need a safe space to feel, process and heal, I am here for you.

Nadège Petrie

My hope for therapy and our collaborations together is that you can start to become more intune with your thoughts, actions, and emotions. While in therapy, you are in charge, and we will work together to overcome whatever obstacles life has thrown at you. Together we will explore those barriers and develop techniques to empower you towards being your Bestself. As we work to build the therapeutic relationship, I will help you identify vital resources and social supports.

Marlena Johnson- accepting new clients

I provide therapy services for people experiencing mood disorders, emotional distress, depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, or have a history of past trauma, or addiction.

Lindsey Nelson

I work best with clients aged 16-150, specializing with healing the myriad of expressions of trauma. I also work through a Health at Every Size, radical self acceptance and social justice lens. My clients respond well to my warm, humorous, approachable, and honest style. I have specialty training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Relational Gestalt Therapy. A lot of folks I work with describe themselves as weirdos, creatives, outsiders, punks, activists, and radicals.

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.

Laurie Kerridge

Ajay Dheer

I work with people ages 15 and older on a myriad of topics. I am especially interested in working with interracial couples, first/second generation immigrants, queer folx, BIPOCs, men, and sex workers. Areas of specialities include mindfulness, BDSM, gender, ethical non-monogamy, social justice, anxiety, depression, sex therapy, and trauma.

Ursula Hurley

I believe that hating your body is a learned experience that can also be unlearned, with help. It is not easy, but it will be so worth it!

Jessie Kaleikau

Having trouble with racing thoughts? Constant overthinking? Feeling unbearable pressure? You don't have to face it alone. Anxiety can be scary and feel overbearing, I'm here to help with that and work with you to find tools to reduce those anxious feelings.

Jason Wilkinson

Does anxiety keep you from living the type of life that brings you joy? Do you carry anxiety that impacts your significant relationships? Are you a parent that is feeling the pressure of raising a child in a world that feels unsafe? Anxiety can impact the way that we interact with the world. And while that may be challenging, there is a way to slow the racing heart, the tension that is carried in the head & shoulders. I can help you learn techniques to emotionally-regulate & manage the anxiety.

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.
