Healing from abusive relationships
Anger management
503-890-2795
Email: jmartinlpc@gmail.com
Are you confused about your current relationship?
Do you feel unheard, blamed, powerless and hurt?
Would you like to understand what is going on and how to make positive changes for yourself?
Or, are you often angry and find relationships damaged?
Through empowering, supportive, and non-judgmental therapy I help my clients find their way to a more satisfying life.
Together, we will refine and negotiate your goals and use brief or long-term therapies as needed by you. Therapies I use are cognitive-behavioral, Jungian, E.M.D.R., art therapy, solution-focused, and self-relations. I believe that change happens in a safe, non-judgmental, and warm therapeutic environment. We actively work together to find the tools you need for change, whether support, information, developing new habits of thinking, or exploring unconscious material.
I have over 18 years experience in providing brief and long-term therapy. I received my Master's Degree in Psychology from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon since 1991. I specialize in helping people heal from abusive relationships and learn anger management. Helping with work issues, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, family and dysfunctional family issues are also areas of expertise.
Whether you are paying out of pocket for your counseling, or using benefits of an insurance plan, please call to discuss your needs with me and if I'm not able to assist, I'll make every effort to help you find the therapist who can.
My fees are $110 for a 50 minute session. Sliding scale rates can be negotiated. I am able to work with a number of insurance companies, specifically, ODS, Healthnet, and MHN. I also can see state of Oregon employees with Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance.
I look forward to hearing from you.

It seems to me most people want a therapist to be three things: competent, personable and dependable. I offer those plus a close proximity to food carts.
I've been in full-time practice with adults since 2000 and have been licensed as a clinical social worker in the state of Oregon since 2004. The therapy style I use is primarily influenced by my training in Gestalt Therapy which is known for requiring authenticity of the therapist and helping the client broaden the range of choice in their lives. I also incorporate some of the more classical and less popular practices such as returning people's phone calls and emails promptly.
The following are some of the specific mental health problems I feel competent addressing:
Depression
Anxiety and panic attacks
Bipolar Disorder
Relationship problems
Self-injury such as cutting
PTSD and recovery from violent and/or sexual trauma
Life transitions
Acquiring more control over emotions and behaviors
Work burnout
Spiritual frustration
My fee is $80 per 50-minute session but you can pay considerably less if your insurance company will pay for me as an out-of-network provider or even less if I'm an in-network provider. Paying cash, however, can provide increased privacy and flexibility and I'm willing to reduce my fee if you are willing to pay cash and aren't insured. I am on the MHN insurance panel of providers.
Please give me a call if you have any questions or would like to schedule a free 30 minute consultation. I'm committed to helping you find what you're looking for whether with me or someone different by the end of that phone call or visit.

I work within an individual's motivation to change harmful ways of thinking and acting using cognitive-behavioral therapy and I incorporate expressive art therapies to allow people the inner voice to express themselves. The approach I use is growth orientated, building on personal strengths, success and positive experiences. My goal is to help people become empowered.
During counseling, I focus on building skills, coping strategies, expression of emotions, and parent coaching skills. To help facilitate discussion, I like to use sandtray and art therapy techniques. I am very passionate about healthy relationships; I incorporate psychoeducation with most of my clients. Because I realize that each individual situation is unique; I combine methods and theoretical approaches, using my training and understanding to help clients find new solutions to their problems.
I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults to communicate in healthier ways with everyone they interact. I feel it is a vital step in our healing process if we can let people know what our needs are. When parents can communicate effectively towards their children, they can foster an environment where adolescents will listen to and respect their parents, especially when talking about difficult subjects like sexual activities or substance use. I feel with my style and casual approach, I provide a safe environment where people feel comfortable discussing difficult or controversial topics.
I provide individual, family, and group counseling in a variety of areas, including:
Domestic Violence
Depression
Anxiety
Trauma
Parent/Family issues
ADHD/Academic Problems
Stress Management
Harm Reduction
I offer a free 45-minute consultation to answer any questions and allow the client to determine if we would be a good fit. Thereafter, my standard fee is $80, and for those who are uninsured and under financial hardship, I offer a generous sliding fee scale. Please do not let finances be a barrier.

With more than twenty years experience as a mental health professional, both here and abroad, I bring a sense of calm and seasoned maturity to my counseling practice. Having recently returned to the Northwest after practicing in the U.K. and Italy, I'm pleased to open my practice to those most in need of affordable services.
My professional experience includes serving clients with mental health concerns of depression, anxiety and addictions, and I also have been privileged to work with children, youth and families. The clinical needs I have helped clients address include self esteem, trauma, anger management, grief and loss, substance abuse and behavioral addictions.
My post-graduate studies in Existential Psychotherapy were completed at Sheffield University in England. I obtained my Certificate in Drug and Alcohol Therapy at Seattle University in Washington (though I do not have formal Oregon CADC credentials at this time), and my undergraduate studies in Community Services and Public Affairs were completed right here in the Northwest, at the University of Oregon.
Existential Psychotherapy, as a framework for our work together, helps us explore values and beliefs, assumptions and prejudices. The objective of existential therapy is to come to terms with both possibilities and limitations, and pay attention to what really matters to you most.
My fee is just $40 per session, and on occasion, I can adjust that to meet the needs of clients whose financial circumstances are particularly strained. I look forward to hearing from you.

On Living Contently
Stress, worry and even depression are part of a healthy mind. Life is full of changes and transitions that make it hard to stay upbeat. It's difficult for all of us to live a contented life when we feel down, irritated, worried.
I’m here to help with that part.
I approach therapy from a humanistic, relationship-based perspective. Through our relationships with others, we can soften internal strife. My style is called “eclectic,” which means I use a variety of techniques depending on the situation, but I always maintain a focus on positive regard for my clients and my clients’ pain.
If you feel like you need help with living contently, give me a call or send me an email to schedule a no-cost 50-minute consultation.
Our initial consultation is no-cost. I offer a need-based sliding scale with special consideration for students and unemployed people.

I have always been able to listen.
From my earliest years I have been blessed with the ability to listen. To hear the obvious as well as the under and overtones in conversations . . . that which is being talked around, talked over or under or around. I can help you gently confront the histories, fears and self-deceptions that may be preventing you from becoming your most authentic, happiest, best, most joyful and brightest self.
I have honed this listening skill through a decade of experience providing psychotherapy for individuals and couples. I work with my clients in a collaborative manner, empowering them and coaching towards growth and healing. I deeply believe that people can create better, more joyful lives for themselves by learning to make self-affirming choices. I hold as a goal deep attention and appreciation for your healing. I use a client-centered approach with a strong reliance on counseling methods that put you and your feelings and goals first. I rely on my own empathic and intuitive senses, my life experience, as well as the skills and strategies drawn from my BA from The University of Texas at Austin, and my graduate education from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas.
For many years I was the dedicated therapist for victims of crime and abuse; I welcome the opportunity to work with clients of all ages and have substantial experience dealing with many forms of trauma and loss.
My standard fee is $80 per session and I offer a generous sliding scale fee for uninsured clients or those experiencing financial hardship.
I look forward to hearing from you.

"Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings."
Miles Franklin
I believe that individuals seek therapy as a way to increase self-awareness and promote positive relationships in their lives. I view my role as a
therapist to be that of a collaborator on this journey, working to build on
existing strengths and resources and to create a safe space to discuss
these issues honestly, without fear of shame or judgment.
I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Lewis and Clark
College and have more than twelve years of experience working with young children,
ages 0-6, in school, community and family contexts. I employ an eclectic
approach with a strong emphasis on play, solution-focused, attachment,
structural family therapies. My use of solution-focused theory involves
exploring areas in clients' lives that are examples of successful
relationships and problem-solving and finding ways to incorporate these
positive interaction patterns into other areas of their lives. Structural
family therapy involves looking at the boundaries in family relationships
and working on defining roles that encourage safety and trust in both
children and caregivers. Play sessions with young children and their
caregivers include filial work to focus on the primary attachment
relationship and improve communication and understanding between
children and parents.
My work with couples often focuses on the unique challenges of:
divorce/separation
adoption
involvement with the foster care system
the effect of children on the couples' relationship
co-parenting and shared custody
Goals are co-created with each client to reflect the unique nature of their experiences, strengths and areas for desired growth.
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to answer any questions and allow
the client to determine if we would be a good fit. Thereafter, my standard
fee is $80, and for those who are uninsured and under financial hardship,
I offer a generous sliding fee scale. Please do not let finances be a barrier.
I look forward to hearing from you!

With over twenty three years experience in counseling and mental health fields, I've worked
successfully with very diverse populations, ranging from infants to senior citizens, individuals, couples and families. I
genuinely enjoy helping others to learn how to better help themselves. Empowerment is a major
step to developing good self-esteem and a sense of confidence during difficult times.
There's no question -- we all have the potential to find ourselves in an emotional or mental health
crisis -- no one is exempt. And I firmly believe that everyone should have access to quality mental health treatment, regardless
of race, gender, or socioeconomic status. So I offer my training and my mental health
experience at an affordable cost of $40 per hour. However, if your current financial
situation does not permit you to pay the total amount, then please ask me about my sliding fee
scale which is based on your financial situation.
It's important to your success in therapy to find a therapist you're comfortable with -- someone you feel you can work with in order to achieve your goals. I offer a free 30min consultation appointment in order for both of us to determine whether I'm the right therapist for you. If so, we'll go from there, and if not, I'll do my best to help you connect with one of my colleagues.
