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.

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.

My counseling style is strengths-based because I enjoy helping others find and explore their strengths.  I value helping clients feel less alone and isolated. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, identity issues, posttraumatic stress, family or relationship problems, dealing with life’s transitions and challenges, or seeking to improve your overall well-being, I can help you develop the strategies, skills, and insight to do so.

I offer individual, couples, adolescent, couples, and family therapy.  I use a Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) approach to help others overcome beliefs that are interfering with reaching goals or attaining personal happiness.  I also teach clients how to calm anxiety and other psychiatric symptoms by practicing mindfulness using MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) and learning to use acceptance as a coping skill.  I also incorporate elements of DBT (emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance) into my practice to help individuals learn to manage emotions and tolerate distress in a healthy way. 

I will support you in realizing your true potential with kindness and compassion.  You can create your life the way you want it to be, and I would love to be your companion on this magnificent journey! I am a telehealth therapist in Oregon currently and offering sessions through a secure video portal.  Video sessions are convenient, effective, and empowering!

Issues: Depression, Bipolar I & II, Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Self-Harm, LBGTQ, Identity Issues, Grief/Loss, Emotional Dysregulation, Asperger’s, Sexual Trauma, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Self-Esteem, Schizophrenia, Addictions, Life Transitions, Career

Therapeutic Approaches: CBT, DBT, MBCT, Ego State Therapy, IFS, Play Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused, Person-Centered

Education/Experience:  I hold a BS in Psychology from Old Dominion University.  I then received an MS in Special Education from George Mason University, and was a special education teacher for 8 years (worked exclusively with individuals with Asperger’s for 3 years), prior to returning to school to receive a master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in 2017.  My coursework emphasized community mental health aspects, interdisciplinary collaboration, prevention of dysfunction, and direct service.  This coursework provided broad-based training designed to help individuals who struggle with substance abuse, family violence, divorce, aging, and general emotional problems.  I completed my internship in counseling at the APA-accredited Faulk Center for Counseling in Boca Raton, FL, where I was an outpatient counselor for one year.  I then worked as both a community counselor and school-based counselor, working with children and adolescents, for National Counseling Group in Northern Virginia.  Upon moving to Oregon, I began working at a community mental health agency for one and a half years, working in an outpatient setting, and also providing crisis services as needed.

I believe all humans have the capacity for self-healing and utilize a holistic and collaborative counseling approach to facilitate this process. I am passionate about offering an empowering, mindful, and authentic space that supports the unique needs of individuals while honoring their journey toward optimal well-being.

I employ an eclectic approach that weaves together several therapeutic modalities to best serve the unique needs of each client. My style is based primarily in Person-Centered Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Parts Work, CBT, and Mindfulness. Depending on what is happening in your life, we can work together to tailor our time to best address your specific concerns in ways that feel right to you.

My background as a yoga and meditation teacher laid a strong foundation in attending to the complexities of the human experience in the physical, mental and emotional realms. I then brought my mind-body oriented practice into my higher education. I hold a bachelor's degree in Social Science from Oregon State University Cascades and a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Bastyr University. I have completed further training in IFS, EMDR, Trauma specific care, and Buddhist Psychology, along with ongoing education in Mindfulness. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, and eating disorders.

Therapy is not a linear process and can include ups and downs. Taking the step of self-exploration takes immense courage. While I will serve as a guide for you in reaching your goals, ultimately it is always up to you how much effort you wish to put into therapy to achieve your desired results. My intention is to create a safe and nourishing environment for you to build self-efficacy, make meaning in your life, and connect to your true self.

My background includes a Master’s Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy, with over 38 years of experience working with people of all ages, backgrounds and orientations.  I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, depending on what works best for each individual.  I have over 100 hours of training in grief and loss, with five years of experience working for a hospice organization.  I also have many hours of continuing education in the area of trauma, and how to help people not only cope with, but move past the trauma to live more fulfilled lives.  In addition to insight-oriented and cognitive therapy approaches, I am excited to incorporate the Emotional Freedom Technique into my practice, to give people practical and easy ways to help themselves.

My approach is person centered and strengths-based, seeing each person as the expert on themselves and emphasizing strengths rather than problems.  I offer support, teach skills, and provide a safe and comfortable space for you to express yourself and explore feelings.  Although therapy is work, I incorporate humor in my practice.  As a dancer and dance/movement therapist, I appreciate the concepts of the mind-body connection, as what affects the mind or emotions, affects the body, and vise a versa.  For this reason, I often encourage people to participate in activities that will engage both mind and body.

I have also lead many groups, including dance/movement therapy groups, grief support groups, and groups for specific populations (ie, Geriatric, Schizophrenic, deaf children).  I have taught dance, worked as an artist model, and set up a peer mediation program for a Jr. High and High School in Arizona.  I have been a dancer (ballet, modern), an inline skater, a skier, and hiker.  Lately, I have enjoyed gardening and landscaping, taking drives to the beach, and watching British television.  I have lived long enough to see how we reinvent ourselves over time, and I continue to do that.  I feel this experience gives me empathy to help others reinvent themselves too.

When life feels overwhelming, when sharks are circling your vessel with teeth bigger than your engine, you’ll need to upgrade to a bigger boat – that is, a bigger toolbox. You need more resources, more support, more skills. We’ve all been there. The cool thing is, once we build this bigger boat – toolbox – it will serve us the rest of our days. Once you have those skills, nothing can take them away.

In my work, I draw from a number of modalities and practices, but my primary approach is called ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). To me, ACT is about freedom. Freedom from the destructive thoughts that hold you back. Freedom from enslavement to painful emotions and the frantic efforts to make them stop. It’s about not feeling like a prisoner in your own head. Since receiving my Master of Social Work degree in 2007, I’ve spent much of my career working with people living with acute and chronic illness, particularly cancer. My life’s work is helping people adjust to difficult life changes, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and other challenges. I have a special place in my heart for women transitioning to motherhood and the post-partum issues that so often arise, and individuals facing the ongoing challenges of parenting. I love the expressive arts and using poetry therapy (which sounds stuffy and boring but isn’t) to help clients find their own voice. I am open to working with adults of all ages, teens, and families. LGBTQ+ clients welcomed and valued.

My approach is grounded in compassion. It is about finding your own strengths and bolstering them with new skills to spark real and lasting change. I believe in kindness, humor, and connection, and I believe there is hidden treasure in everyone. Struggle is part of life, but struggle shouldn’t drive the bus, leaving us flailing around with no lap belt and gum stuck to our seats. You deserve to be the driver of your life, and you can build a boat stronger than the sharks. If you’re here, you’ve already started!

My name is Kathryn Hayes. Most know me as Katie. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon and Indiana. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Kentucky University.  

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existentialism and Mindfulness Therapy to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, adjustment disorders, obsessive compulsive behaviors, and grief. I am a trauma informed clinician certified in TF-CBT.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relaxed. Together, we will look at the blocks of fear, guilt, anger, hurt and learn to see past them to who you really are. Healing lies within our relationships when we choose to give up judgment and look upon ourselves and others with kindness and compassion.
