I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate working towards licensure. I was born and raised in Oregon. On my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking with my dogs, kayaking, and walking along the Oregon coast. ​

I have worked in many positions where I have provided support to diverse populations. I am passionate about supporting adults and youth through difficult transitions and watching them reach their goals and full potential.

I help Oregonians like you, whether this is your first experience with therapy or you have worked with a counselor before. I take my cues from you, and together we will build a therapeutic relationship focused on achieving your goals. Whether you are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, disability and chronic illness, weight stigma, career questions, or other life transitions, I want to help you frame your story, make meaningful progress, and develop clarity.

I use gentle and experiential modalities including brainspotting, mindfulness, and somatic exercises, all designed to heal the relationship between the body and self as we process trauma and difficult life events.

I have a master's degree in counseling from Portland State University. I am a clinical rehabilitation counselor (CRC), which means I am specifically trained to work with disabled and chronically ill clients. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oregon, which means that I have thousands of hours of experience. I am certified in brainspotting, which means I have extensive, personalized training in that modality.

I have worked with a wide-range of clients—BIPOC and white, adolescents, young, middle-aged, and older adults, people of all gender expressions and faiths, people experiencing complex trauma, and formerly incarcerated individuals. No matter who you are, my approach is compassionate, holistic, and strengths-based. I also want to help you develop mindful coping skills to nurture yourself even after our therapeutic relationship has ended.

Dealing with challenges and stressors is an unavoidable part of our human experience, and it can certainly leave an unwanted impact in our life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I aim to look at the whole person, understanding how all the aspects of our lives come together to impact our minds and bodies. Healing happens when all parts of the person are aligned and integrated.

I take a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, working with clients to improve distress tolerance and emotion regulation, heal their nervous system, and strengthen core beliefs and values. I am passionate about working with females; in adolescence, young adulthood, and into their 30s. My therapeutic orientation draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and somatic-based practices. 

My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to express what is on their minds, learn beneficial coping skills, understand the mind-body connection, and build a sense of connection with themselves and others.

Welcome! My name is Tessa Potter, and I am currently a Professional Counseling Associate working toward professional licensure. I have been working as therapist for the last 5 years in outpatient and school-based settings. I'm a native Oregonian and am now raising my family in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

In my free-time, you'll find me spending lots of time with my husband and kids, traveling for new adventures, trying new recipes, and reading any genre of book. I graduated with my Master's of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2018.

I began my career as a school-based therapist working with children ages 5-18. After transitioning into a group practice, I have gained more experience working with adults while continuing to work with children and their families in therapy. I now serve people from age 5 through adulthood. At the heart of my practice is a person-centered approach that accepts people non-judgmentally with a warm and authentic presence. I work to individualize treatment approaches and use play-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. It is always my goal to grow and learn more tools to bring into therapy and am expanding my knowledge on mindfulness and DBT.

I have worked with people experiencing a variety of stressors including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, grief, and other life transitions.

My focus is for clients to drive their own healing while I work to be the support in the passenger's seat. Through collaboration, clients prioritize the goals that are important to them and will make a lasting impact on their quality of life.

Our time together is a safe place for people of all backgrounds who can be genuine in themselves without judgement. My priority is to build an unique relationship with each person to facilitate healing and growth. I invite you to allow me to join you on your journey and hope we can restore peace and healing into your life.

Hi, I'm Emilee and I've been working as a child and family therapist for about 3 years now. I graduated with my Master's degree in 2022 and recently moved up to the Salem area. I'm currently based in the Salem-Keizer school district and have telehealth availability in the afternoons.

I believe that healing comes from acceptance, self-compassion, and personal exploration. I aim to help my clients find balance between empowerment and accountability. Shame often impedes progress and keeps us stuck. As such, I take a positive, person-centered approach to highlight strengths as well as challenges. I incorporate play, coping skills, distress tolerance strategies, and existentialism in my practice. I love to explore the things that make life meaningful. While I have experience with a range of presenting issues, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ populations, manifestations of trauma, attachment issues, and family stress.

Whether you're going through issues with trauma, anger, relationships, anxiety, or just navigating the stress of the world, it would be my pleasure to walk by your side and be with you through your healing journey.

Having 30+ years experience as a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin, Wyoming and Oregon, I have supported adults and children struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life stressors, mood instability, relationship challenges, addiction, OCD, and codependency issues understand there struggles, provide positive coping skills, teach personal resources, healthy boundaries, assertive skills, healthy communication and much more. I also support individuals on remembering and honoring their authentic self.

I have a strong sense of spirituality and helping individuals connect with their Higher Selves and learning to allow there Higher Selves to run their lives instead of being lead around by emotions, thoughts and conditioned behavior. I support clients with their healing journeys with evidenced based treatments to include person centered, CBT, REBT, Transpersonal, Mindfulness, Heart Math and Solution Focused Counseling. IFS Internal Family Systems therapy and Trauma Informed Therapy as well. My approach is holistic and emphasizes natural healing. However, I know that western medicines can have profound healing for many individuals.

It's important that we take responsibility for our health and be committed to participating in our healing process and be open to all resources and use our own individual intuition to know what is best for us.

I have recently completed a 10 month psychedelics therapy program through Integrative Psychiatry Institute. This program is aligned with MAPS and other institutions leading in the field of psychedelic therapy. I am currently providing harm reduction and integration therapy for individuals using alternative medicines for healing.

Just because you can do it on your own doesn't mean you have to!!

My ideal client is struggling with emotion dysregulation and compulsive behaviors in reaction to difficult emotions. They are looking for assistance in managing these emotions, and open to developing a new relationship with their feelings and thoughts in order to pursue what is important to them.

I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral framework, understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are inextricably linked to one another. However, I believe that we all have the power to become who we want to be. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, assisting my clients to identify their values and live in accordance with them. I completed my Master's in Marriage & Family Counseling in 2015, and have been practicing as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) since 2017.

What you are experiencing is hard. And opening up to talk about it sometimes feels even harder. We all need a helping hand at some point, but reaching out for that help takes so much courage. I commend you for even getting to the point of reading this profile. If you can believe it, things can get so much better if you are willing to reach out.
