Hello! I’m Mitali Gor, a Family Nurse Practitioner with mental health expertise, offering a holistic, personalized approach to care. I focus on evidence-based practices delivered with compassion, ensuring every patient feels heard, understood, and supported throughout their health journey. With over four years of experience in outpatient and primary care, I’ve helped patients navigate complex medical and mental health challenges, empowering them to take an active role in their well-being.

I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from George Washington University, and I’m dual board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I provide care for patients of all ages, genders, and backgrounds through telehealth, addressing both physical and mental health. I especially enjoy supporting women during pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause, and helping adolescents with mental health challenges.

I believe the best care is collaborative and personalized. In our sessions, I listen first, understand your goals, and create practical strategies that fit your life. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, going through life changes, or seeking mental health support, my goal is to help you feel your best. physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Marianne Lopez

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I am honest, direct, and passionate about helping people connect to their values and make positive change in their lives.


I believe that our environment, our physical health, and our mental health are intimately linked. I take a whole person approach to counseling where we will address multiple aspects of your health and functioning in order to improve your mental health. An important part of my approach is helping you to broaden your awareness and build insight into how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact and may be keeping you stuck in unhealthy cycles. I also work with my clients on values identification to help guide us in developing practical steps to get you unstuck and moving forward in life in a meaningful way. My main treatment modalities are cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.

I have experience working in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient clinical settings and I have a special interest in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, mood disorders, sport/performance and general life difficulties (relationship conflict, job/career changes, managing stress).
