Tigard Therapists specializing in Anxiety

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.

Karen Neri

My journey into counseling initially began as a counselor of law and subsequently, as a therapist. In helping my clients, I take a holistic and strength-based approach. I view clients in the context of their family, racial/ethnic identity, and social or cultural environment. I work with emotions to strengthen the bonds in relationships. I also focus on solutions, working through trauma with the body, and I integrate the practice of mindfulness and compassion into my work. I am trained in emotionally focused therapy. I use attachment theory and integrate principles of relational-cultural theory, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and neuroscience into my work.

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.

Kathy Hardie-Williams

My theoretical orientation stems from a combination of Family Systems Theory, Psychodynamic Theory, and Experiential Theory, where the purpose is to help you identify the root causes of the problems that make it challenging for you to permanently solve them, not just temporarily solve them, as well as to learn to tolerate conflict and differences in relationships while staying emotionally connected (differentiated). My goal as a therapist is to facilitate healthy and satisfying relationships, self understanding, spiritual connection, and the process of reaching your full potential. While this can be an extremely challenging task, I am very driven toward facing this challenge as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I take a structural family systems approach to therapy, and what that means is this: The role we take in the family system and the structure of the family system impacts the way we function in our lives, particularly in relationships.

Melissa Montello

I am a student intern at New Springs Counseling which means I am not licensed, but I am supervised under a licensed clinician. I am in the home stretch of my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am also an ambitious student who takes additional courses and certifications outside of my school program to make sure I bring the most knowledge to our sessions. I use a collaborative, client-centered approach to help you better regulate your emotions, understand your attachments and the roles they play in your life, and guide you to becoming the person you want to be. I also believe that our bodies can tell us a lot about our experiences, so I incorporate basic somatic work in my practice to help you reconnect with your body in a healing way.

Aimee Frazier

As an anxiety support group leader, I have many tools to offer for anxiety management. We can explore thought processes, underlying traumas, as well as gaining skills to feel grounded, supported, and in-control.

Marlena Johnson- Not accepting new clients at this time

My theoretical orientation is Humanistic, and person centered which I integrate with specific interventions from other orientations such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), Motivational interviewing, Solution focused therapy, and Collaborative Problem Solving, and equine assisted Psychotherapy (EAP). I embrace a trauma sensitive and informed model of care to best help you make the changes you wish to make.

Lindsey Nelson

My background is in Humanistic and Existential Therapy with an emphasis in Health Psychology. Over the years I’ve gotten specialty training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Relational Gestalt Therapy, Feminist Psychology, Chronic Pain Management, and Health at Every Size. I work from a self-compassion and radical acceptance lens as well.

Demi Keitel

I believe a therapeutic relationship is one where both sides collaborate to help you on your path to growth and self-actualization. Finding the right advocate and support can enrich this experience. As a clinician, I have worked with individuals on a variety of needs including; one’s sense of self, life goals, relationships, impulsivity struggles, and working to shape the narrative of one’s life experience. I have a passion for helping people find their voice and courage to show up for their lives the way in which they have always dreamed. Many identify as part of LGBTQ+ community, I help with the exploration of gender identity, sexuality, culture and safety. I also work with health care professionals and those that work in service roles for their community. Knowing how to navigate the nuances of these fields and the unique stressors that come with the territory, I am able to come alongside these individuals and help increase their coping skills and stress management.

Joshua Ziegler

My approach with clients is solution-oriented, collaborative and brief. Problems are identified, however the focus of our work is on the life you want to live in which your problems are less noticeable or are gone. My approach tends to be brief, meaning you don’t spend more time in therapy than you need to be. Each session is effective and outcome-driven, answering the question “am I getting what I came here to get?"

Kimberly Dickenson

I hold a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I have additional training in Supporting College Student Well-Being and Mental Health, Mindfulness and Relationships, Interpersonal Neurobiology and Attachment, Trauma Informed Care, Crisis Intervention, Grief and Loss, and Suicide Prevention. I have worked at several Universities in different capacities, serving college students’ needs, as an Academic Advisor, Career Counselor and Mental Health Counselor. My desire is to support and enhance the emotional well-being of college students as they navigate their way through the college experience. I have always been passionate about this particular time in a person’s life and love working with the college student population.

Laurie Kerridge

Ajay Dheer

I provide therapy that is grounded in social justice, queer and feminist theories, and cultural humility. My approach to therapy uses a blend of narrative, attachment-based, and body-focused techniques. In working with intimate relationships, I additionally draw from Emotion Focused and Gottman Method therapies. To put it simply, this means I place you at the center of your own story. I incorporate mind-body connection, emotional experiences, and relationships of all kinds into the therapy space. I truly believe that you deserve to live your best life, and I am here to offer whatever help I may toward that end. I completed my M.S. in marriage and family therapy with a focus on sex therapy at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

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!
