Kristen Tucker

After two decades in corporate marketing, I followed my heart and went back to school to become a professional counselor. I work with adults who are trying to overcome mental health or addiction issues, often occurring together. I hold a master's degree in Counseling Psychology: Addiction Studies and am fully credentialed in both mental health and substance use treatment in Oregon and Washington. I bring a strengths-based, compassionate approach to therapy, with specialized training in EMDR including the DeTUR and EMDR-GRIEF methods.

Talk therapy isn't always enough to create lasting change. If you're struggling with the past, substance use or emotional challenges, EMDR offers a different path forward by helping the brain integrate experiences that haven't fully healed and reduce the impact of triggers that drive unwanted actions. Working together in a safe, supportive space, we can reduce the intensity of your painful memories and shift patterns of behavior that no longer serve you. You'll feel more present, connected, and in control of your life again.

Warmth. Safety. Acceptance. These qualities will be the building blocks of our work together.
