Abrianna McCarthy

I firmly believe that therapy is for everybody. Whatever your reasons or goals are for therapy, I am committed to holding space and exploring this journey with you. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, collaboration, humor and empathy for each person’s unique experiences. I provide a safe, inclusive space for folks of all identities to heal, explore, discover, and thrive, using a trauma informed lens. My philosophy is that people are the experts of their own lives, and that I am here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, tools and encouragement along the way. I use several modalities of psychotherapy, including person-centered therapy, narrativetherapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and will typically blend these approaches to meet your personal needs. I have 7 years of experience as a social worker in health care and specialize in working with people who are managing chronic illnesses, processing grief, experiencing caregiver fatigue, and navigating difficult diagnosis. I also have a special interest in working with folks who have endured trauma, are navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression and existential concerns. I hold deep appreciation for the power of therapy and welcome the opportunity to work together towards your therapy goals!

I am a licensed clinical social worker authorized to practice in the state of Oregon.

Our first session will be a collaborative intake process to discuss your goals for therapy, gather information, and an opportunity for questions and conversation to determine if I may be a good fit for you.
