When we journey through life it begins in wonder and amazement. However in time beauty is lost and the magic drains from the world. This magic is not gone, it lies dormant within our hearts where all is possible.

You have found yourself in a strange new world, but feel you don't belong. Afraid to reveal your true self and what you believe. What fears do you need to face? What stands between you and your happiness? Is life possible after trauma? When you learn to wield your mind skillfully like a sword, there is no foe too great and no challenge too steep.

Specialties: I have a passion for helping the LGBTQ+ community with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictive thoughts and behaviors. I strongly believe in practicing and teaching meditation skills for formal and informal practice, building self-confidence and awareness through Non-Dual and integral philosophy, and self-empowerment through support in navigating life's many challenges.

Modalities: I have primarily found Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Person Centered Therapy to be the pillars of my therapeutic style. Additionally I have completed basic training for EMDR which I have found to be using in addressing post-traumatic symptoms and self-defeating thoughts and beliefs that hold us back.

Education: I have earned my Bachelor's degree from Portland State University majoring in psychology and earned my Master's degree in Applied Psychological Sciences with a clinical focus from Pacific University.

Experience: I have extensive experience with teens and young adults. I worked at Albertina Kerr, an in-patient setting, for children and teens who were experiencing severe emotional, mental, and existential distress. I was an intern counselor in an outpatient setting at William Temple House where I primarily helped young adults. I was employed by Marion County Children's Behavioral Health as both a crisis mental health specialist and therapist for children and teens for crisis intake and ongoing outpatient therapy.

There seems to be a rhythm to life. An outflow and an inflow, an up and a down. There is also a clockwise spin to the future or counterclockwise spin to the past projections in our minds. The more to the outer edges there is chaos and life experienced when attached or avoiding. But the more toward the center and into our self we go, the more we reach a point of order, stillness, and life when unattached and accepting of what may come.

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 name is Shantel and I am a licensed practicing counselor associate in Salem, Oregon. As a mental health professional, I am most interested in finding the part of your life that feels off-balance and helping you find balance again.

I completed my Bachelors of Psychology at Oregon State University and completed my Masters in Forensic Psychology at Capella University.

I have worked with children, teens, and young adults in correctional and in residential facilities.

I specialize in working with individuals who have intellectual and cognitive disabilities as well as youth struggling with anger and behavioral issues. I use an eclectic approach that intertwines different approaches in order to target an area of your life that you feel is off-balance.

I integrate person-centered, strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and play therapy in order to tailor what works best for you. When working with youth, I rely on family collaboration to encourage the youth to use the skills they have learned in therapy in their home environment.

I believe that no one knows your life better than you and you know your experiences best. With this as our foundation, we will work together to build goals and a treatment plan that best address your concerns. A session with me may include:

*Breathing exercises to allow the body to feel safe and comfortable while we actively work to heal the emotional and psychological wounds that are impacting your life.

*I may ask you to imagine the life you hope for and if you are artistically inclined, we might use creative expression to examine your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

*I may also challenge you to analyze your beliefs in different ways to find more clarity.

*I believe that like our other 5 senses, our emotions and feelings are providing information on the world around and within us. So I may ask you to join me in exploring what they might be trying to tell you, with compassionate curiosity.

*A safe and validating therapeutic environment so we can work together to achieve the healing you seek.

While I am not a miracle worker who can take away your worries and pain with the snap of my finger, I CAN hold it with you and you will not be alone.

I received my Master’s of Social Work from George Fox University in Portland, Oregon and my Bachelor’s of Social Work from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. As a Clinical Social Work Associate, CSWA, I am working toward acquiring my Clinical License under the supervision of a Clinical Supervisor. I have experience working with children ages 10 and up, teens, and their families, as well as adults and elders 65+.

If you’re ready to begin the journey to mental health and it seems like we would work well together, please request an appointment below.

Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I've been working as a mental health professional with youth and families for over 10 years. I can work with you individually or as a family unit to address a range of life challenges including anxiety, depression, healing from trauma, grief, and other life transitions. I love to incorporate creativity, mindfulness practices and self compassion in therapy.

I hold a masters degree in social work from Portland State University. My professional experience has included working with child and adolescent survivors of sexual abuse and their parents, individual and family therapist, school-based therapist, and school social worker.

My native language is English and my second language is Spanish. I lived two years in Spanish speaking countries, Spain and Ecuador, while studying and working. Although Spanish is not my native language, I have advanced proficiency in the language and have worked with many Spanish speaking families in family therapy and group counseling.

I look forward to meeting you!

I carry with me many modalities to support your journey, including art therapy and narrative approaches, interpersonal neurobiology, CBT, DBT, self-compassion and mindfulness approaches, that I've developed through my experiences in working with children and adolescents and with adults in multiple settings.

There is no one size-fits-all approach to feeling better. Together we will carve out a path that lines up uniquely to support you, based on individual preferences, values and needs. Through getting to know you in individual sessions, I support you in clarifying your resources, strengths, interests and values, so that those can be drawn upon in navigating your individual path--your path that is based on what matters most to you.

I am a bilingual professional counseling associate who specializes in working with adolescents, adults, and families. I received my master's in Mental health counseling from Corban University. I also attended Western Oregon University, which is where I received my bachelor's degree while majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Spanish. I have experience working in Marion County Children's Behavioral Health Department and in Private practice.

My approach is strength-based, person-centered. Which allows me to meet my clients where they are by utilizing their strengths to enhance other areas we may need to work on. I integrate various evidence-based therapeutic approaches based on the specific needs of my clients.

Which allows me to establish a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship with each client I work with. It's also important for me to cultivate a therapeutic atmosphere where my clients feel at ease with opening up about their uniquely vulnerable stories, and where they are comfortable being their authentic selves.
