Therapists for college students near Portland State University
BCB Therapy began in 2004. Each therapist carries a caseload they can actually hold in mind, and clients see the same person every week, not whoever happens to be free. The team works with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship struggles, disordered eating, insomnia, and ADHD. Alongside talk therapy the practice offers EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, DBT, DBR, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Sessions happen two ways: in person at the office on SW Columbia Street in Bend, or by secure video anywhere in Oregon. Clients in Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Medford, and in small towns with no therapist for fifty miles, get the same clinicians and the same care. The practice is in network with PacificSource, Providence, Regence, BlueCross BlueShield, First Choice Health, and the Oregon Health Plan.
How I work: I'm a licensed clinical social worker and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, in practice for over 15 years. Licensed in Oregon, Maryland and New York. In person in Ashland, Oregon, and by video elsewhere. People come to me with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship difficulty, and the harder transitions of a life, though we rarely stay at the level of the label for long. My training is psychoanalytic - relational, modern, contemporary - but in practice I'm more interested in you than in applying any of it to you. Together we explore what matters, what repeats, what gets avoided, what happens between us. You come to know what's best. That stays with you everywhere. I also work as a thought partner. Some people come to me not for conventional therapy but for sustained, confidential attention to something they're working through: a decision, a project, a difficult question, a piece of writing, a leadership puzzle. The structure is different; the kind of attention to complexity is the same. Some call this coaching. I think of it as the same depth of attention, pointed at something distinct you're working at. Who I am Trained at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies and the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, with additional study in somatic and contemplative approaches. Outside the office, I serve on the board of the Ashland Independent Film Festival.

I am deeply committed to supporting people of all identities, especially neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ individuals, towards greater healing and empowerment. I will spend a considerable amount of time learning more about you, what your values are, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. My goal is to provide a safe enough space where we can build trust together and work towards your goals. I want to empower those who struggle with anxiety, depression, family dysfunction, relational challenges, managing daily stress, and trauma. As much as we may wish we could get rid of difficult emotions, I offer gentle exploration towards what it can feel like to begin to develop new relationships with unwanted feelings. I have an extensive background in mindfulness and offer clients a variety of mindfulness tools (that aren't too precious). Self compassion will be at the heart of our work. I believe that the most healing aspect of therapy is the connection between the therapist and the client. I offer warmth, patience, mediocre metaphors, and occasional humor. I feel honored and privileged to get to work with clients and it feels especially sweet when people begin to feel comfortable opening up. You can reach me by phone at 971-266-3010 or email me at alinakhodadian@introspectivecollective.org.
I have over 15 years of experience as a Clinical Psychologists. My integrative approach to treatment is rooted in evidence-based practices that honor the uniqueness of each individual and combine the strengths of Emotion Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I treat individuals and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal and work challenges, abusive relationships, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
I offer individual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, perfectionism, self-criticism, intrusive thoughts, and relationship challenges. Together, we will work to cultivate self-compassion, navigate painful thoughts and emotions, and build a life that feels meaningful to you. Our work will be engaging, thoughtful, and supportive. I also recognize that counseling can sometimes feel difficult. During those moments, I am committed to being fully present and honoring your exploration of where you have been, where you are, and where you hope to go. I am here to meet you where you are, using a range of approaches to fit your needs. I strive to cultivate a safe space for geeks, gamers, and lifelong learners, offering care that is LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally sensitive, anti-racist, trauma-informed, and weight-inclusive.
Your individual experiences, goals, and priorities will be at the heart of your care in my small practice. I'm proud to offer a whole-person approach, with therapy and thoughtful medication management services to support your unique journey of growth and healing. I am accepting new patients, and pleased to serve clients throughout the states of Oregon and New York via telehealth.
I find the greatest success working with clients who over-think and ruminate, feeding negative valuations of themselves and the world around them, and who struggle with accompanying forms of worry, anxiety, and perfectionism. In providing a safe, non-judgmental space in which to build rapport, and by utilizing a conversational style, clients often feel more comfortable opening up and addressing the issues bringing them to counseling. We will collaborate on goals, as well as work together to make adjustments to expectations, making them more realistic, discover the meaning of “good enough,” learn the importance of self-care and healthy boundaries, increase self-worth, and begin to formulate ways to live an authentic life, making choices that are in alignment with your values. I look forward to hearing about your experiences, how they have been affecting your ability to reach your goals, and begin to work together to increase healthy tools to better manage inevitable life stressors when they arise. You can get back on track toward living a life that provides meaning and purpose. Please call to schedule a free consultation. ______________ Please note that I can also accept Samaritan insurance plans, but it was not listed as an option within the Thriving Campus system.
As a young adult, few things are harder than struggling alone. This time in your life can feel full of contradictions. It's exciting yet uncertain, liberating yet terrifying, carefree yet sometimes paralyzing. You crave connection. To be seen & deeply loved. But relational wounds, anxiety, or the residue of past trauma can lead to feelings of distrust, insecurity, & doubt. You yearn for more. To have healthy relationships. Improve self-esteem. You want to live with more ease, but feel stuck by your pain. Emotional wounds need nurturing, connection, & the healing power of a relationship. You're not alone. I help young adults learn to be with themselves & others without feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or scared. We slow down & notice what happens in the moment & the body as we explore emotions. My primary therapeutic approach is AEDP, which focuses on connection & attunement, undoing aloneness, accessing & processing emotions, & "loving up" strengths. I know that reaching out is hard! It's scary & unfamiliar. But together, we'll work through the difficult stuff. The emotions. The fear. We'll laugh a lot. We'll cry a bit, too. Nothing is too big! Plus, I've got a comfy couch & cozy office. Or meet me on telehealth. Either way. I challenge you to do this for yourself. You have everything within you.
Maybe you're exhausted from carrying stress and anxiety that never seems to let up. Maybe a difficult experience from your past still shows up in ways you didn't expect — in your relationships, your sleep, or your ability to feel safe in your own body. You don't have to keep white-knuckling your way through it. Whether you're navigating the lingering effects of trauma or PTSD, anxiety that won't quiet down, or a depression that's dimmed things you used to enjoy, you deserve a space where you can slow down, be honest, and actually start to heal — not just cope. I'm Tessa Love, LCSW, and I bring a warm, trauma-informed approach grounded in CBT, DBT, and somatic (body-based) techniques. I tailor every session to you — no cookie-cutter treatment plans, just collaborative, evidence-based care that meets you where you are. Ready to feel like yourself again? I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we're a good fit — no pressure, just a conversation. I see clients virtually throughout Washington and Oregon, with openings Tuesday through Friday. Call (425) 321-0337 x800 to get started.
Thank you for taking the time to consider me in choosing a support person for yourself or family member. I facilitate individual therapy with adult and older adult populations, and treat issues related to life transitions, stress management, relationships, family systems, trauma, and chronic health conditions. Whether you're feeling stuck, struggling with our political climate, finding it hard to say no or to ask for help, creating balance between helping others' and prioritizing your own needs, developing goals or identifying your values, we can work together to alleviate suffering and promote greater well-being in your life. For the past five years I have been a remote therapist (telehealth services) and a first responder clinician (co-responder) responding on scene to 911 mental health emergencies with my law enforcement partner. Prior to these roles, I provided dual diagnosis therapy in a variety of settings, including outpatient, residential, and jail settings since 2009. I have witnessed first-hand the struggles we all face, as well as the needs of families that develop over time. It is important to have a space to explore and express our needs with someone who is able to hold empathy and unconditional positive regard, as well as identify strategies for healing and change. I look forward to working with you.

She remains continuously grateful for the opportunity her clients give her, and she is committed to continuing to grow and learn. When Michelle is not practicing, she can be found with her spouse, dog, and their two young children - exploring outdoors, skiing, paddle boarding, enjoying good food, and following that beautiful and often scarce PNW sunshine.
I draw from person-centered care, treating anxiety through mindfulness-based therapy, and evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I especially enjoy working with college students navigating career and life transitions, as well as adults experiencing anxiety, depression, or Bipolar II Disorder. My style as a psychologist is warm, collaborative, and grounded in kindness, while also making space for humor and lightness when appropriate.
