Portia Archer

My practice is based on connecting with and reclaiming the resiliency and self-determination of the human spirit within us. I believe we all have the capacity to overcome obstacles that interfere with inner peace and happiness, and we all share the need to be listened to and understood without judgment or criticism. I have experience in helping individuals navigate a range of issues including: trauma, anxiety, depression, major life transitions, grief, and relationship stressors, among others.

I have been a licensed therapist since 2011, and an EMDRIA Certified therapist since 2018.

I understand that reaching out for help can be difficult, and finding the right therapist to trust is key to successful therapy. Please take the first step, call me for a free consultation before scheduling.

I have an eclectic, holistic, and person-centered approach to therapy. I draw upon attachment-based and trauma-informed perspectives and incorporate a variety of therapeutic interventions, including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy.

Establishing a healthy, safe and trusting relationship will be our first steps in working together. I will show up consistently, with an open mind, compassion and commitment to support and guide you towards meeting your goals for therapy.
