Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Eugene, OR

My experience is centered on collaborating with youth, adults, and families. During these developing years and shifting dynamics, additional care for our health is needed. I work with emotional regulation, relational rifts, enhancing communication, and acceptance of self.

With attachment focused therapy as my base, I utilize mindfulness and experiential approaches in our work together. Our conversations and therapeutic activities are guided by your experience and goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience providing compassionate, trauma-informed care across diverse clinical settings. Licensed in both California and Oregon, my career has been dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating complex life challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I am also Native American and can often relate to clients coming from that community.

My background is uniquely broad, ranging from medical social work and home health to forensic mental health within state hospitals and correctional facilities. I have extensive experience working with Tribal communities in rural Alaska, California, and Oregon, providing culturally sensitive psychotherapy and advocacy. Prior to 2000, my foundational work spanned forensic inpatient care, day treatment, and residential programs.

In my practice, I utilize a collaborative, biopsychosocial approach to help clients adapt to changing health statuses and life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where patients feel empowered to access resources and achieve meaningful change. I am committed to delivering evidence-based interventions that honor each individual's unique history and readiness for growth.

Hi, my name is Grace and I have 12+ years of experience specializing in anxiety, depression and PTSD.

I approach each client with empathy, respect, and the belief that every individual has inherent value and purpose. I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, chronic mental illness, life transitions, and stress-related concerns.

My primary therapeutic orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and a person-centered approach. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's unique needs.

I am passionate about children, adolescents and adults, especially for the well-being of families. I have been a Special Education Teacher and Counselor for over 35 years. My philosopy is based on a psychodynamic, holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to enrich lives and help heal emotional wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the use of Expressive Arts are helpful in changing thinking patterns and perceptions that impede growth and awareness. I believe in the process of our God-given Life and strengths within each of us to shine more brightly.

I specialize in Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, PTSD, Panic disorder and mood disorders. I also offer ADHD testing for children and adults online and in-person. I offer both medication management and therapy.

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels safe, collaborative, and deeply human. My style is warm, compassionate, and direct, and I work to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged toward growth. I draw from an integrative, holistic framework that includes psychodynamic exploration, systems therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, EMDR, and humanistic-existential approaches. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, attachment wounds, emotional dysregulation, burnout, self-worth concerns, or major life transitions. I have worked extensively with individuals facing complex trauma, personality-related challenges, adoption, migration, and recovery from human and sexual trafficking. For organizations, I also provide Mental Health and Psychosocial Support services.

I have a virtual private practice since the pandemic started. I graduated from Lewis & Clark College with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2017 and have been practicing for 8 years. I have specialized in treated OCD and Grief & Loss in both adults and children.

When I am not at work, I take care of my large plant collection, listen to audiobooks, practice drums and spend time with family and friends.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience. I work primarily with adults, supporting individuals navigating challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and empowerment, and I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their goals and heal at their own pace.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, and mood-related concerns. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

I take a personalized approach to care, recognizing that mental health is influenced by many factors, including life experiences, relationships, work stress, sleep, physical health, and daily functioning. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their symptoms, identify treatment goals, and develop a plan that supports stability, clarity, and improved quality of life.

Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.

My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.
