Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.
I love working with clients to feel less uncomfortable with the unknown, less anxious, and more fully engaged in life and relationships.
Welcome to my profile!!! As a board certified LPC (Licensed Professional Counseling), I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I believe you can get to where you want to be with support and connection. I specialize in trauma recovery, using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) modality. I am a flexible person and easy to get to know.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 22 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and at all stages of life. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work (MSW), and I utilize a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that emphasizes collaboration, compassion, and resilience. My clinical training includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), allowing me to tailor treatment to each person’s unique goals and strengths.
My passion is helping people recover from childhood and early adulthood trauma.
My name is Carolyn Phillips, LCSW.
I have noticed relationships seem to be a very important value to people because we all need love, encouragement and understanding, as well as many other needs. If something gets misconstrued, then it can be a problem for a relationship. I would like to see you through the rough patches.
Hi! I’m Nate. I'm a therapist licensed in New Mexico and Oregon who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, identity, and men's issues. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years leading wilderness expeditions — an experience that shaped how I think about growth, connection, empowerment, and personal excellence. I use art therapy and play therapy with younger clients, and draw from CBT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and experiential approaches with teens and adults. I show up as a real person in session — honest, direct, and occasionally funny when it helps.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Salem, OR
Searching for therapists in Salem starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for a Salem therapist for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you are looking for.
Salem is a smaller city, so your local options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while keeping care with a therapist licensed in Oregon. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in sessions.
Therapy in Salem can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you start. Headway helps you search for Salem, Oregon therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific therapist and location. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you are ready.
