Daniella Kramer, Marriage & Family Therapist Associate

Sometimes in life we reach a point where we aren’t quite sure which way to go, what to do, and finding the answers on our own feels impossible. In these times, I am here to help you navigate through your journey and in doing the real work of life. I believe in providing effective therapy that addresses root causes of mental and emotional issues.

I hold a humanistic perspective, meaning I believe that you are whole, deserving, and perfect at your core. I trust that your inherent intelligence and ability to connect to yourself can be revealed and encouraged through the therapeutic relationship that we will create together. I respect that you are the ultimate authority on your life and experience.

I practice holistic and integral psychology, taking the whole body, mind, and spirit into consideration, bringing a somatic, depth, and transpersonal approach to our work. My practice is integrative: weaving elements of ecopsychology, dreamwork, mindfulness, and body-centered expression. I also find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to be effective too. We will pay attention to “where” and “how” feelings and experiences are held within your body, and explore the deeper meanings in your life, as well as the deeper reasons behind your challenges and difficulties. I don't subscribe to the belief that there is something wrong with you, rather "what happened to you".

For therapy to work there needs to be personal accountability. While I work from a compassionate stance in helping you figure out what works for you, my style is very honest and direct, and therefore not for everyone.

I specialize in supporting people who experience chronic illnesses and invisible disabilities, neuro-toxic mental illness, chemical/mold/EMF sensitivities, and narcissistic abuse. I personally am a survivor of Lyme Disease and Mold Illness, and am here to walk this walk with you thanks to having overcome many of my own personal life challenges that has given me the empathy and understanding to be real with you.

Congrats on taking the first step of reaching out for the help you deserve.

I am Mary Dolson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon. I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work and I am a trained Psychotherapist.

I practice strengths-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy with an emphasis on the neuroscience psychological effect between our body, our emotions and our brain.

I studied clinical social work at Simmons University with an emphasis on trauma and neurology.

I spent the past 5 years working on forensic teams supporting individuals recently released from incarceration and working alongside Multnomah County and Federal Probation officers. During this time I worked with a Portland community health center to start a program addressing ADHD treatment as it relates to substance use and traumatic events.

Alongside my forensic experience I am a parent, a former preschool director, a tortoise owner and a front porch bird watcher.

In this work I have always been honored to be the witness to our ability to change, rebuild and thrive. I look forward to meeting you.

The most important factor in determining successful outcomes in psychotherapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I operate from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed perspective.

In our sessions, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgemental approach in an environment where you can safely process your feelings and experiences. Through self-exploration, we will build greater awareness of your behavior patterns and discuss alternative ways of authentically interacting with the world around you. I look forward to accompanying you on your healing journey.

I was born in Portland and grew up in the Northwest, graduating from Linfield College in McMinnville, OR before working as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor in Oregon for 17 years. I returned to graduate school at mid-life and earned a Masters Degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University in 2006. I completed my clinical license (LCSW) in Montana, while working at the largest elementary school in the state for 8 years, before returning to Oregon to be closer to my family.

While in Montana I practiced individual and group therapy with children and their families. I also coached and refereed youth and middle school football for 10 years and use motivational interviewing and life coaching techniques in my daily practice.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), which is short term in nature and focuses on providing you tools and new ways to think about your problems, so you can begin to start making needed changes in your life. There are no magic pills or painless solutions to most life issues, but CBT can give you the tools you need to help you make the small and larger changes needed for your life to start improving. It is up to you. 

I help people who realize that some things in their life are not working and need to change. The world has shifted and we need to adapt to rapidly changing events beyond our control; as well as get some daily relief from the ongoing stress, anxiety, poor sleep and depression many people face daily. 

Since February 2020 I have been doing remote Teletherapy with adults and older teens and found it works to help people change their lives. Be prepared to do your homework, I always give you more to do between our sessions, so you can progress at your own pace.

You are here. So, you are motivated to make change! I know life is challenging! It brings many hardships and sometimes, we might need a little support navigating them. My goal is to create a safe space where we can be open, honest, and authentic in our communication, and work collaboratively together to navigate the obstacles preventing you from reaching your full potential. I have experience working with youth and adults. I offer support in a wide range of issues including anxiety, family relationship concerns, racial identity, and trauma.

I’ve seen how culture and ethnicity can influence the realm of therapy. As a black clinician, I naturally specialize in understanding the needs of people of color and can relate to their experiences, and I’m equally passionate about supporting and guiding individuals from all backgrounds.

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.

I earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from the University of Nevada-Reno. I am a Clinical Social Work Associate and have over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, phobias, life changes, domestic violence, PTSD, compassion fatigue/burnout and anger. My passion is working with those living with chronic illnesses, as well as caregivers, with a focus on wellness and developing coping skills that are sustainable for long term use.

My style is down to earth, relaxed, supportive and compassionate. Treatment is evidenced based, using a strength based and person-centered approach. Modalities such as Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Art/Play Therapy are examples of some of the modalities used and are individualized to each person. I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort and look forward to speaking with you.

A warm hello and welcome!

I seek to encourage people in growing hope, in creating meaningfulness and realizing perspectives from life experiences, to self-empower and self-accept in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space, free of stigma and shame.

Counseling can be transformative and healing. Counseling can also be challenging and uncomfortable at times.  It is important to take it at one’s own pace. There are many different counselors to choose from and it can be self-empowering to choose a counselor or therapist that feels right to you.

My counseling approach is respectful, trauma-informed, person-centered, strengths-based and holistic. I believe wellness is possible through creating self-care practices, identifying and expanding positive coping and individual strengths, growing resilience and cultivating inner wisdom.  

I have worked primarily with talk therapy, creating the space and time to listen and listen deeply to what matters, exploring goals, naming and understanding obstacles, creating measureable action steps towards your decided goals.

I hold a master of science in Rehabilitation Counseling from San Francisco State University and am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). I am a trained counseling professional specializing in working with people living with disabilities, chronic illness, co-occurring conditions, and/or existing diagnoses. 

Since 2011, I have trained and worked with culturally and socioeconomically diverse people in diverse settings: community mental health, addictions/harm reduction, re-entry, transitional housing, clinical counseling, Veterans in recovery, street outreach, Veterans and community crisis/suicide prevention/intervention, vocational rehabilitation/return-to-work, and vocational organic landscape gardening training and teaching.

I am an ally and advocate to Military/Veterans, Disability, LGBT+, and BIPOC communities. I am happy to now be working at Stronger Oregon via telehealth to expand access to counseling during this covid-19 experience. I am a registered licensed professional counselor (LPC) Associate in Oregon and as an associate, I receive regular clinical supervision from a licensed clinician. I will share more information at the first session.
