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 earned my master's degree at Western Oregon University in Vocational Rehabilitation Mental Health Counseling. I have obtained my Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) license. 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 like to meet my clients where they are at. I borrow from multiple modalities, depending on my client and what works for them. I have experience working with youth, adults, individuals with Developmental Disabilities, ADHD, individuals who have experienced trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also have experience in vocational counseling, working with individuals who want to overcome barriers to moving towards independence.

My name is Taylor Smith (she/her) and I entered clinical social work because I believe in the power of relationship as a vehicle for growth and healing, and because I also believe it’s important to recognize the systems of power, control, and culture that impact our well being. I strive to be BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ allied and affirming. I value helping individuals find peace and joy in their identity.

Modalities I pull from include: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). Teachers who guide me in this work include Tara Brach, Pixie Lighthorse, Nedra Glover Tawwab, Gabor Mate and my own therapist/healing work. An overarching goal I have for clients I work with is for them to build tolerance for the whole spectrum of emotions and learn to experience them as neutral information, or even as wisdom that leads to informed choice.

Experiences that led me down the path of clinical social work include several years of social justice work in Oregon prisons during my undergraduate studies at the University of Oregon and seven years of advocacy and peer counseling for survivors of gender-based violence. I completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Portland State University in 2022 and am currently a Certified Social Work Associate (CSWA) under supervision and working towards licensure. For the past year and a half I worked as a behavioral health consultant in a primary care setting addressing whole person health: mental, emotional, physical and day to day functional well being. I look forward to pulling this wider scope into practice here at Stronger Oregon.

Common labels we put on experiences that might be a good fit for my expertise include: anxiety, stress, trauma, abuse, gender affirming care, grief, attachment wounding, codependency, family members of people with addiction, boundary setting work, and life change/transitions. This is a non-exhaustive list and if my approach seems like a good fit for you, I encourage you to reach out!

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.

Greetings!

I'm Gaby Beaujeu and my areas of therapeutic interest center on adolescents, young adults, and maternal mental health. I have worked as a clinical counselor in Child & Family services at Lincoln County Behavioral Health for the last 2 years, where I also completed my MSW internship. I believe the best investment we can make in our youth is to prioritize and care early and often for the mental health and well-being of their caregiver(s). I am a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and I incorporate that play, mindfulness, and movement into my therapeutic approach. I have experience in CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed mindfulness practices.

I have extensive experience leading DBT groups, family therapy, and individual counseling with middle and high school clients, often at school-based health clinics to eliminate potential barriers to care and give access to services that may not otherwise be available for our youth during school hours. Representation matters, and I am committed to being a lifelong student in support of social justice and creating safe, inclusive environments for LGBTQIA+ identifying individuals. I am also a strong advocate for adolescents navigating chronic mental health, with some of my most meaningful work being done on an early intervention team for first-break psychosis in young adults experiencing mood disorders and schizophrenia (EASA).  

I have eight years of prior experience working with youth and their families including pediatric clinical research focusing on cardiac arrest and traumatic brain injuries, a brief foray into law enforcement, and assisting at a pediatric disordered eating clinic in Portland (Kartini).

I’m a Social Work Associate, working towards my LCSW licensure under the direction of my incredible clinical supervisor. I care deeply that you receive quality, evidence-based practices that are current, reputable, and relevant to your needs. I can’t wait to connect!

I have over 10 years experience working in residential and community settings providing services to youth and their families. I draw from many modalities and adjust based on my client’s needs.

I received my Masters degree in Clinical Counseling from George Fox University in 2013. This new career path came after I had been a foster parent for several years. I have much experience with youth in foster care and their caregivers. I am certified Post Adoption and FosterCare therapist with ORPARC which has given me a strong foundation when working with this population. I also really enjoy working towards reunification goals both with the biological family and the youth as they navigate emotions especially after a long periods in care.

For younger children, I believe their language is play so will often incorporate play therapy techniques in sessions. Parent participation is strongly recommended as young people often struggle with big emotions and don’t know how to express themselves. The best way for me to teach them and incorporate better coping strategies is for them to practice at home as well.

For tweens, teens and young adults I believe developing their voice and autonomy is very important. We will navigate treatment planning and therapy goals collaboratively with parental involvement as necessary. I rely strongly on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT) for this age believing the positive effects in learning distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and mindfulness skills will benefit everyone. DBT is especially effective when treating youth experiencing suicidal ideations or self harm.

I will work with any diagnosis including but not limited to Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, ADHD, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I am accepting of all cultures, sexual and gender orientations. I look forward to getting to know you and help you be your best self!

As an Indigenous person, I deeply acknowledge that a sense of personal identity is integral for a culturally-informed healing and learning journey. My sessions typically include holistic approaches to well-being, such as grounding based on traditional values and empowerment, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I use approaches that are evidence-based and allow for specialized therapy based on your values.

My educational background includes a Masters of Arts in Applied Psychological Science at Pacific University, which focused on integrating counseling skills with research, and my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Portland State University. I also completed a six-month clinical internship at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, where I gained knowledge in cultural responsiveness among rural and Indigenous people. Currently, I am a Professional Counselor Associate working toward full licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor under the supervision of a clinical supervisor.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort. Ultimately, my goals are your goals, and we'll work together to best meet your needs. If you're ready to talk, I'm here to listen.

Every person's life contains painful struggles. Finding a good therapist shouldn't be one of them. If you are seeking a therapist who offers nonjudgmental curiosity, warmth, and humor as we collaborate to build the rich and meaningful life you'd like to be living, we may be a good fit!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon with several years of experience providing therapy. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked and volunteered in a variety of healthcare and social service settings, including reproductive and sexual health clinics, HIV support services, and intimate partner violence support. I earned a Master's degree in Social Work from Portland State University in 2018, with a specialization in Integrated Behavioral Health in rural settings. Shortly after completing my graduate program, I began working as a therapist in a generalist outpatient setting, offering therapy to individuals with a broad range of clinical issues from all walks of life. I have a special focus on working with LGBTQ+ individuals (including people seeking support with accessing gender-affirming medical care) and women struggling with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, self-worth, and body image issues.

Though I have training and experience with a number of therapeutic modalities, I primarily utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Using this framework, I help people to develop effective ways of coping with painful or difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences, harness inner strengths, develop self-understanding and self-compassion in service of building a full, rich and meaningful life. I believe therapy is about more than reducing suffering and symptoms; it is about increasing the connection to one's unique sense of meaning and purpose, moving toward what matters most. Because the foundation of all good therapy is a strong relationship between therapist and client, I place great emphasis on building trust and safety in the therapy room by being warm, open, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I may have a few fancy letters after my name, but I am also an imperfect human being whose struggles and experiences are likely not so different from your own.

I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health. I employ an eclectic (or including all kinds of therapy types) approach with a strong reliance on cognitive-behavioral aspects. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, PCIT therapy, Infant/Toddler Mental Health, mindfulness techniques, and possess a certificate in Substance Abuse Treatment. I also have several years experience and training with sexual assault and domestic violence. 

For my formal education and training; after completing my bachelor degree and obtaining a Substance Abuse Certificate, I realized I was not able to assist clients with trauma or other issues. So, I went back to school to get the degree I needed to be able to help all the people who came to me. Now, I have a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.

My career began with teenagers in residential treatment for substance abuse, after this I worked with a younger group of 5-11 year olds in residential treatment for behavior problems. From there I moved to adults with legal issues and substance abuse, while having a second job as a sexual assault counselor. I have worked with very young children, under 1 year old and their parents, as well as older adults who are in need of resolving old conflicts in their past so they can look forward to the future and all others in between.  

The therapy techniques we use depend on you and what works best for you, this is a team effort with you in the lead. Let’s talk about how I can help you today. I welcome all ages and backgrounds.
