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.

I believe that recovery is accomplished through self acceptance, healing of past trauma, and the exploration and development of meaning and purpose in your life. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-driven, and I am trained in multiple evidence based practices, which can be utilized in an eclectic approach to tailor each participant's treatment to their own experience and preferences.

I completed two Master’s degree programs at Ottawa University, one in Professional Counseling and one in Substance Abuse Counseling. I completed EMDR training through the EMDR Institute, Inc. in July 2016. I completed the requirements to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional in August of 2020.

I have been a licensed therapist for 12 years, and my work initially focused on treating clients struggling with substance abuse, then shifted to working with clients experiencing SMI, and then moved to working in group practice settings with clients from all walks of life.

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 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.

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.

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.

I’ve been in the profession since 2007 and have almost 10 years of Post-Graduate Clinical Counseling experience. Jumping on “the wave of the future,” I have been providing Telehealth Counseling services for over a year now.  I have practical experience serving both self-referred clients as well as those involved in the Criminal Justice System.  I have successfully helped persons with varying clinical issues including; Anxiety, Depression, Relationship problems, Men’s issues, Faith-based struggles and most Mental Health disorders. I specialize in PTSD, Domestic Violence Interventions and Addictions Counseling. I am a Trauma Informed Counselor who is also registered with "Star Behavioral Health Providers" trained and experienced working with Military Veterans. I love what I do and do what I love!

I approach counseling from a combined Existential and Narrative therapies theoretical perspective. Existential and Narrative therapies are holistic approaches that explore persons’ stories and experiences in relation to the physical, social, personal, and spiritual dimensions of struggles from the client’s perspective. These theories strive to understand what it means to be human. The therapeutic relationship is one in which the therapist and client co- journey together examining the client’s difficulties that may possibly have origins in four universal questions; Who am I?, Where am I going and why?, Why am I here?, and What gives my life purpose and meaning? Exploring these questions in relation to your present circumstances may stimulate growth and promote healing and help you write a new and preferred story for your life.

I am educated and trained in many evidenced-based practices and borrow techniques from other theoretical disciplines to meet your individual needs when appropriate.  I’ll work to help you develop a stronger sense of self-awareness and self-determination. As we journey together towards your realization of freedom and responsibility, you choose a new course that may lead to a better sense of well-being. My desire is to help you find hope and realize a purposeful and meaningful life.

I am an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an Oregon Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor 1 (CADCI). I am held accountable to the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists (OBLPCT) and The Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO). To maintain my LPC and CADCI I am required to participate in continuing education relevant to these professions. I earned my Masters of Arts degree in Professional Counseling at George Fox University (GFU) after previously earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social & Behavioral Sciences at Linfield College. In compliance with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists (OBLPCT) and the Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 833-025-0005, I have completed the educational requirements for Professional Counseling at GFU. I have also completed education for CADCI core competencies at GFU and Daystar Education, Inc.

I’d be honored to serve you and am excited to meet you!

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.
