Hi there, I’m Annie (she/her). I’m grateful you are here. Therapy can be a big step into the unknown but can also be an opportunity for growth and positive change. I believe human beings make meaning through connection and the relationships we hold. I approach therapy with a systemic perspective and carefully consider the many complexities that work together to form our whole selves. Some of these complexities could include cultural, environmental, or societal factors that may be contributing to...
Life can be tricky at times...and for those who are also navigating all of life while being a student, it's even trickier. I look forward to working with students who are interesting in learning healthy coping skills to effectively support juggling all life has to offer. I hope we can explore together ways in which to reduce some of your stress and anxiety and/or other issues you might be facing....
Melanie has a client centered approach to therapy and aims to meet each client where they are at, honoring their innate resiliency and collaborating to create individualized treatment plans. She knows that each client navigates a variety of oppressive systems and needs space to bring their specific perspectives and identities into the therapeutic relationship. Melanie draws upon theoretical frameworks such as CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and parts work. She works with individuals facing anxiety, ...
I strive to offer a space where marginalized voices have a say in their healing. My heart lies with those who feel disconnected from the people around them; who don't typically see identities like theirs accepted in society; and who are navigating cultural integration. Whether you’re feeling heavy and void of motivation, caught in relational and personal distress, or wondering what makes you “you” I want to listen and support you every step of the way. I work with individuals experiencing life t...
Things are feeling really hard right now. Maybe you don’t know why, or maybe you know exactly why. You know you’ve been through a lot in your life, but it feels like you should have been able to move on by now. No matter how much you try to push them away, the difficult experiences of your past just keep intruding on your thoughts, your emotions, and your self-talk. It is getting harder and harder to ignore the emotions that are coming up. They’re getting in the way of your relationshi...
Chances are, other people in your life have already given you a lot of advice. "Do this, stop doing that." It's not always that simple. As humans, we all struggle sometimes. As a licensed clinical social worker, I love helping people develop a deeper sense of confidence in who they are as they recognize how to handle what's holding them back. When we meet, we will focus on your desires, worries, hopes, and fears. I will offer guidance, patience, and compassion as we focus on what makes s...
The particularity of our stories matter. Even stories of harm and shame are evident of our desperate and deepest attempts to be seen in our aliveness together. Despite the sufferings and stressors that may plague our lives, I believe your inner world holds a beautiful hearth that longs to center you and call you home. By working together from a place of safety and empowerment, I am interested in exploring together what it means to heal and live a life that you find meaningful. As a Relational P...
Feeling foggy or like you're in a dream (in a bad way)? Feeling detached from your body or your joy? At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, I'm passionate about helping clients feel more present, embodied, and connected whether they're experiencing grief, dissociation (depersonalization or derealization), or burn out. I work best with folks who are motivated to put in work inside and outside of session in order to inch closer to change. There is so much to grieve in the world right now but...

I strive to help each person feel safe enough to be open...
At Willamette Wellness Center (WWC), we know college life can be exciting, overwhelming, and stressful all at once. Many students face anxiety about being away from home for the first time, the pressure of managing classes, jobs, and relationships, and the challenge of navigating life independently without the constant support of family. Others carry the weight of high expectations from parents or the stress of perfectionism. These struggles are common, and you don’t have to face them alone. ...
Hi, I'm Aud, a Professional Counselor Associate with over five years of experience providing counseling services to students in educational settings. I provide telehealth therapy to college students experiencing anxiety, trauma & burnout I work with individuals who appear to have it all together on the outside—but underneath, they're spread thin, drained, and disconnected from themselves. Maybe you're the reliable one showing up for others, while dreading letting anyone down. You're always...
The bulk of my practice is working with OCD, general anxiety, and grief/loss. I particularly enjoy working with young adults....
I work dynamically and intuitively with a focus on mind body awareness. I combine my knowledge from natural medicine, energy healing, authentic relating, social justice work, ecofeminism, conscious philosophy, yoga, meditation, nonviolent communication, to serve in a holistic and transpersonal approach. I believe that we are all whole and complete. I believe learning is remembering. I believe that each person deserves to be seen, heard, held and loved. I have worked intimately with the con...
Being part of the interconnected natural world, we thrive in connection, and without connection, we wither. In our work together we will collaborate in understanding what makes you come alive and wither, to look for ways to get unstuck and make meaning of your emotions, reactivity, and suffering. I believe that individuals and families can tap into their inner strength to repair and grow new resilience with guidance and support. My role is to restore balance, build communication, and provide sup...
I love working with college students, especially those struggling with academic stress, anxiety, difficulty adjusting to this new season of life, and/or general life decisions. I can also work well with trauma and offer a Christian perspective upon request. I can't wait to get to know you!...
We all experience times in our lives when we feel stuck, disconnected, or out of balance. I strive to create an environment where couples, individuals, and families feel supported and heard. I invite you to deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships through my experiential, attachment-based approach....
I see counseling or therapy as an active, collaborative process. I consider it an honor to go on that journey with clients and build a working relationship focused on understanding the process of change and growth, whatever the context and conditions affecting it. I believe we can learn how to best understand our personal situation from a place of acceptance and gratitude, and how to make the most skillful decisions to best enable us to utilize a sense of purpose and maintain appreciation of our...
As an art therapist and counselor, I utilize the process and product of art making to support individuals in discovering insight, moving toward growth, and finding balance. Art therapy can offer an alternative means of communication to express difficult emotions or experiences that may feel impossible to put into words. You do not have to identify as an artist to find healing through art therapy. Art making is always optional and no artistic skills or previous experience is needed. If you would ...

Therapy can help us discover new parts of ourselves, challenge barriers to growth, and develop new skills to create our own paths. We as individuals hold these strengths within us already, but at times life can lead us to believe we are lacking. My hope is to help you discover these strengths! My style is direct yet gentle and I speak from an honest heart. I will often bring humor into the session, as life can funny at times or we may just need a bit of laughter to get through the challenges....
