ALEMANA COUNSELING

We are all warriors

Fighting our own battles

About Allyson

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience working in mental health for non-profit agencies, the VA, and other organizations. Through my own experiences in the military, I experienced first-hand Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, and depression.

After leaving the Navy, I sought therapy to help process what I experienced. While completing my education, I worked at Veterans' Affairs, helping combat Veterans who experienced PTSD and other challenges, including drug and alcohol addiction. I bring this experience to working with you in processing trauma and other issues you may be experiencing.

Finding a path to live the life you want to lead is a goal of the work I do. I practice a resilience-based approach while working primarily with adults (ages 18 and up), veterans, first responders in individual and couples counseling sessions. I also bring, Kayleigh, a therapy dog in sessions.

About Kayleigh

My name is Kayleigh and I is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I loves meeting new people. I is a service/therapy dog who comes to work with my mom, Allyson, most days. I loves pets, scritches, playing, and snuggling. I wants to make sure everyone feels better and loves people as much as possible.

About Trisha

I received my psychology undergraduate degree from Utah Valley University and earned my Master of Science in Abnormal and Clinical Psychology at Swansea University in the United Kingdom. I have worked with non-profit therapeutic service organizations since 2013. I have had the opportunity to serve a variety of roles in the social services field, primarily as a mental health counselor and QMHP.

As a therapist, my approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and person-centered counseling. I don’t believe that therapy is a “one size fits all,” and I utilize a variety of methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Attachment Theory to provide an approach that will fit your individual needs. My areas of professional interest involve working with individuals who have experienced trauma, family and relationship therapy, and LGBTQIA+ populations. I am currently working towards an AASECT sex therapy certification.

About Bailey

I believe that a counseling relationship that provides safety, trust, and healing can transform an individual’s life. Often, there is the need for a gentle and trained outside perspective in order to see things differently and unlock new possibilities. I seek to provide a safe and empathetic space for each individual I meet with, in order to support the development of strengths, acceptance, and resiliency. Together, we can process old, harmful ways of experiencing the world and create new, edifying patterns which point you in the direction of the life you hope to lead.

I believe that the client is the expert in their own story, and therefore apply a person-centered, goal-oriented approach to our work together.

I utilize feminist, systems-informed theory, integrating an individual’s diversities into treatment with great care. I enjoy the collaborative nature of therapy, working with clients to help them achieve their goals.

If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, find that you aren't very nice to yourself, or if you're wanting to do things differently this time, I'm your gal. It can be difficult to begin a therapy journey and to uncover purpose and patterns in our lives. I would be honored to come alongside you and empower you in your courageous pursuit of your truest self.

About Montana

I am a compassionate believer in the power of individual stories. As a Registered Associate based in Oregon, I provide a non-judgmental space where individuals can openly share their experiences and work collaboratively towards shaping their present circumstances and future aspirations.

Drawing inspiration from a "multi-modal" approach, I embrace the qualities of caring, creativity, insight, and dedication embodied by psychotherapists who prioritize holistic mental health care.

With me as your guide, you can expect a collaborative and integrative therapeutic journey, where the power of storytelling and the application of evidence-based techniques combine to facilitate positive change and empower individuals on their path towards well-being.

I am a Masters level intern working towards my licensure. I have a strong desire to help my clients achieve their goals and work on their own personal story. My goal is to provide an emotion focused space where we would explore on your emotions and work together to find meaning to your emotions instead of hating them or ignoring them. My approach is focused on empathy and my hope is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients and embrace their growth towards their therapeutic journey. I believe that everyone has the power to find healing and hope, so we will work on this journey together to achieve your goals and embrace every step of the way.
