ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Salem, OR

With more than 20 years of experience, I have helped adults, children, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Social Work and believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I see therapy as a partnership, where you set the direction and I provide support, guidance, and encouragement along the way.

Hello! I'm glad you made it here! My aim is to support and empower you to reach your goals. I am here to provide you with ideas, insight and education as we work together collaboratively. I am happy to include anyone else you wish in your treatment plan. My approach is centered on a holistic, whole-person perspective.

As for me, I have two bachelor's degrees - one in psychology and the other in nursing. I completed graduate school as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have served people in my local outpatient community, inpatient (medical as well as psychiatric), in the state hospital, intensive outpatient programs, and more. I am also happy and very comfortable working alongside people with developmental disabilities, those on the neurodivergent spectrum, and those that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

With over 15 years of experience, I have worked with children, adults, and families in diverse roles (counseling, education, disability services, healthcare, and social services). These experiences have equipped me with versatility and empathy towards the various challenges faced by individuals (spouses, parents, caregivers & employees). Currently, my focus is on clients ages 18 - geriatric who are dealing with anxiety/depression stemming from stress, life transitions, relationships, and trauma.

My name is Muriell Carlisle, for over 15 years, I’ve dedicated my life to making a positive impact on individuals, couples, groups, and families through the art of counseling. My journey has taken me across continents and through diverse settings, shaping my unique perspective on the human experience.

I believe healing happens in the context of feeling seen, understood, and supported. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR Certified Therapist, I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people are not broken; they are often carrying experiences that have shaped how they move through the world. Together, we will build on your strengths, explore patterns that may no longer serve you, and work toward creating a life that feels more aligned, meaningful, and manageable.

Hi, I’m AJ. I’m a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, youth, and families.

You might be feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or overwhelmed. Maybe you're facing something painful—loss, addiction, past trauma—or finding it hard to connect with others. Whatever you're carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.

You don't have to keep carrying it all alone.

Do you find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or putting everyone else's needs before your own? Maybe you're successful on the outside but silently battling stress, self-doubt, burnout, or the weight of past experiences. Perhaps you're struggling in your relationships, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling disconnected from the person you want to be.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor serving clients throughout Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients throughout Oregon. I provide individual therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My passion is helping people move beyond simply surviving. Together, we'll identify the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, strengthen your emotional resilience, and help you develop practical tools so you can experience greater peace, confidence, and fulfillment in your daily life.

Whether you're facing a difficult season, healing from childhood wounds, working through relationship struggles, or learning how to manage anxiety that feels impossible to quiet, therapy can become a place where lasting change begins.

As your Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I want you to know that I am here for you every step of the way. You can trust that I am fully committed to your well-being and dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care.

Something positive, warm, and uplifting about me as your PMHNP is that I genuinely believe in your strength and resilience. I see your potential for growth and healing, even during the toughest of times. Together, we'll navigate through the challenges.
