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!

Welcome, the first thing you might have noticed is the missing “E” in my name. That’s all thanks to my Eastern European roots that followed me overseas to the great Pacific Northwest. I immigrated to the US when I was only 5 years old, but one thing I brought with me and kept is my native language. Thanks to that I’m proud to be a multi-cultural counselor who can provide counseling in both English and Russian.

After graduating high school, I pursued the field of finance for my bachelor’s degree and spent four years in the corporate world. During that time, my faith drew me towards helping others, volunteering and being a support and mentor for many young adults. Two years into my corporate job I realized my true calling and pursued a master’s degree in school counseling. I completed my program and have been working as a counselor since.

Helping people looks different depending on the counselor they might work with. When it comes to my practice, the focus comes from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy standpoint. This is a short-term therapeutic approach aimed at making different choices. Each one of us has the power to make choices that will lead to different outcomes and sometimes we just need a little guidance along the way. This includes learning new skills and exploring capabilities that we might not be utilizing.

When it comes to clientele, I specialize in working with youth. This includes teens, young adults, married people, and anyone else who thinks they turn 21 during every birthday. I am happy to support my clients through anxiety, conflicts with others, self-esteem issues, pursuing career change, and much more. I am very passionate about my work and its always rewarding to see that you were a piece of the puzzle that helped someone see the bigger picture and grow.

Finding the right fit for your counseling needs is very important so if you believe I might be a good fit, please complete the application below.

Hello, my name is Brian and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I've been working as a mental health professional with hospice patients and families for over 7 years. I will work with you individually to address a range of life challenges including anxiety, depression, healing from trauma, grief, and other life transitions. I like to incorporate mindfulness practices and self-awareness in therapy.

I hold a masters degree in social work from Portland State University. My professional experience has included working with individuals and families as patients near the end of life. Many of the old ways of coping don’t work well anymore and the social worker helps individuals and families to move closer to a place of acceptance in their heart and mind as the individual and family transition together.

Purposeful change comes from acting in a different way than we are now, influencing thought patterns, and focusing on feelings and how they impact our choices. Purposeful change is rarely a comfortable process but the outcome is worth the effort. My goal is to empower you to become someone you are proud to be.

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.

My deeply held belief is that every human being is worthy of being seen, heard, respected, and loved. I aim to create a therapeutic environment of trust and safety, listening with curiosity and respect to the pain, struggle, and fears that clients bring to therapy. I work with clients to explore how they've been shaped by previous life experiences, to examine current dilemmas that are causing distress and confusion, to discern strategies and skills for coping, and to cultivate a place of inner peace and calm from which to move forward.

While I have experience assisting clients with various presenting issues, I am particularly interested in the intersection of emotional challenges and physical health. This could manifest as a chronic or acute illness in the client or in a family member for whom the client is providing care. I aim to bring a holistic approach to health and well-being, including one's emotions, thoughts, and physical body.

I believe that people want to do well and be in good relationships. I also believe that there are so many things in life, physically and emotionally that can disrupt being in good relationships. As a therapist I believe my role is to help people evaluate the quality of their relationships and develop self awareness to effect change.

I believe change comes from engaging in different behavior, different thought patterns and healthy life choices. Change comes to people in many different ways, I will work to help you find how change can come to you.

I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from National University. I have worked in many different settings, such as group homes, juvenile justice and in early intervention for people at risk of Schizophrenia.

I am committed to continuing education to offer the most relevant, evidenced base intervention for the individuals I support through counseling.

I am interested in helping people overcome the obstacles that get in the way of their mental and emotional health. I have been assisting youth, families, and adults in this pursuit for the last 20 years.

I have experience doing counseling and casework in many settings which include residential treatment, schools, county agencies, and most recently community mental health. I use a broad spectrum of therapeutic tools to support client's where they are at in their journey.

Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing provide the general framework for my work with people.

I graduated from San Francisco State University with my Master's in Social Work in 2011 and have been licensed as an LCSW for the last 5 years. I believe the foundation of therapeutic work rests in a strong, caring, mutual connection.

I would appreciate the opportunity to build that connection and work on the goals and objectives you have for living a more fulfilling life with less emotional distress.

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 years of experience in medical social work, chronic care management, and dialysis have given me a unique perspective and expertise in the emotional and physical adjustments associated with health changes. 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.
