Rick Baumgartle

Hello, I'm Rick Baumgartle, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon. I provide a safe and supportive space for adults navigating a range of challenges, with a particular focus on individuals struggling with sex and pornography addiction, alcohol and substance use issues and the impact these issues have on their lives and relationships. I also have a deep understanding of the experiences of people who grew up in dysfunctional environments and support individuals adjusting to life transitions and managing stress. Lastly, I also specialize in working with people who deal with PTSD issues including veterans and first responders. My therapeutic approach is focused around values and how to best get your life to line up with those values, and I am committed to helping you explore your experiences, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a more fulfilling life. I invite you to reach out for a confidential consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

I currently work with people using Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Informed Cognitive Therapy (ICT) In working with clients I try to help them identify what is most important to them in their lives as well as finding ways to put energy into those things instead of struggling with the issues that brought them to therapy in the first place.

I hope that by the end of our first session you will feel like coming to therapy will be beneficial for you and have a good idea of what we will be working on moving forward.
