Emily Dayton, Professional Counselor Associate

We are all wired for connection and to be known and understood. Counseling can offer a safe space to explore and be curious about your experiences. It is a relational process to move towards meaning in your life and, ultimately, prioritize you and your wellbeing.

I operate from a relational lens where we collaboratively work through difficult emotions by creating a way to honor the pain and difficulties and build a life that matters to you. My approach in this process is to foster a sense of safety, acceptance, and curiosity. In our time together you will have the opportunity to share your story; to be heard and to be known. I will offer you skills to help with the entanglement of thoughts and to foster self-compassion and mindfulness as we move towards a meaningful life.

My educational background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Portland State University. I am currently a Professional Counselor Associate working towards licensure with the state of Oregon.

I use an integrative approach with a trauma-informed lens mainly drawing from theoretical foundations of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy while incorporating neuroscience and Attachment science. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, self-worth, life transitions, and relationship dynamics.

I believe that each person is unique, and together we can discover your specific therapeutic needs. It would be an honor to work with you.
