If you cannot fully express your true self, then the world will never get to experience the real you! Not one other person can offer the traits and attributes that you have. The world will be a less rich and diverse place without your uniqueness.
It can be painful to feel blocked, not able to live your life as fully as possible. This can manifest as depression or anxiety, problems in relationships or work or home, fear of taking risks, anger, unhealthy choices or patterns---really any strong uncomfortable feelings or experiences.
If you want a better life, there are ways to make this possible. For a long time, I have had such a passion for helping people get relief from pain, and help them move towards more happiness. I can help you gain an understand of what is blocking this “happiness,” and assist you to create a path and move toward a more positive, creative and fulfilling existence. Along the way, it can be very helpful to develop balance between the emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual aspects of self.
One of my strong qualities is a very keen perceptive ability, and the ability to communicate it in a clear manner--yet also in a way that is soft and sometimes humorous. I also have a large collection of tools to access and share with you—being experienced with cognitive behavioral, DBT, strength-based, solution focused and psychodynamic therapies. I very much like to collaborate actively together, to figure out what’s going to work best to help you.
I have a Masters Degree in Counseling, am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and have more than 15 years experience in a variety of settings. I am also currently on staff at the outpatient behavioral health program of Providence St. Vincent. Some insurance companies will reimburse for my services. My regular fee is $85. Please consider negotiating for a more affordable fee, if needed. You may reach me by phone at 503-954-2112 or by e-mail at shenlesauer@comcast.net.
With unfailing kindness, your life always presents what you need to learn.
Whether you stay at home or work in an office or whatever,
the next teacher is going to pop up.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? ..." Nelson Mandela's inauguration speech, 1994
Welcome, and congratulations on taking action toward change; visiting this site demonstrates your courage and movement. It is my belief that loss, trauma, depression, and/or addiction often clouds our resiliency and wisdom. I will work with you to recognize your strengths while incorporating therapeutic tools such as Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Narrative therapies. We can identify patterns and paths, which will likely move you towards a more fulfilling life.
My passion lies in assisting and then witnessing growth. Our work may vary; short term concerns like "I need to learn how to talk to my boss," might be handled in a few sessions. While issues such as addiction, gambling or substance abuse, depression or anxiety...a desire to live a more satisfied life, may take more time. The integrative nature of my work allows for family of origin explanations, without blaming, as a springboard to acknowledge and move toward change.
Several of my clients throughout numerous non-profit and mental health settings in our community, have affirmed that the therapeutic relationship and feeling heard can be powerful healing tools. My experience and areas of strengths include:
* Life Transitions (mid-life consciousness, new parents, aging)
* Depression
* Grief
* Career Burnout
* Addiction
* Relationship Issues
* Cognitive Disability
* Codependency
* Parenting Skills
My fee is $60 per 50 minute hour for individual sessions with sliding scale options available. I offer a no cost, thirty-minute initial consultation and offer referrals when appropriate. Payment may be made in cash or check at the end of each session, as I am unable to accept insurance at this time.
Please call my confidential line @503-312-5181 to schedule an appointment.

With nearly twenty years experience, I bring a unique approach to my counseling practice, marked by solid professional skill, sound clinical judgment and a relaxed, engaging style. In my life, and in my profession, I tend to lean to the “lighter” side of life.
I've worked extensively with youth through the years - having served my clients everywhere from the office to the wilderness. I'm also experienced and really pleased to welcome couples, families and the LGBTQ community to my practice. I recognize that each client deserves an individualized approach, and I'll listen carefully, tailoring our time together in a way that will best meet your needs.
I understand there are some clients (especially young adults and adolescents) who prefer to have sessions outside the confines of an “office” environment, and being a lover of nature myself, I am more than happy to take a walk or sit with you outdoors during our sessions.
I firmly believe that counseling should not be a luxury or a privilege available only to a few, but that good therapy should be available to everyone. As a result, I do not work with insurance companies -- but I cap my fees at $40. I will do my level best to meet your needs, or if I'm not the right counselor for you, I'll help you connect with one of my colleagues.
My master's degree in clinical psychology was awarded with honors from the University of Alaska (yay, Alaska!!), and I have substantial specialized training including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Hypnosis and Meditation and I have a particular appreciation for the mind-body connection given my experience as a certified massage therapist.
Please give me a call or shoot an email with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

The decision to seek counseling is a courageous step. I believe this courage stems from a desire to be well, to be heard and affirmed, to have our needs met, to be empowered, a desire to live out of the truth of who we are and become the authors of our own lives. While each of us has a life story that is unique, I believe this desire is shared by all. As a counselor, I am privileged to provide a safe, professional, and supportive environment wherein you can develop new tools to heal, learn and grow.
My under-graduate work was in fine arts, specifically painting. My art education informs my work as counselor, as I believe that, like creating art, self discovery is a creative and often collaborative process in which one strives to call forth something true and beautiful from within. In our counseling, I will collaborate with you to hone your gifts and express your true voice and vision.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Counseling and Education. My approach to counseling is an integrative one utilizing tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples. In addition to my clinical training and experience, I bring from my own personal journey honesty, respect, curiosity, insight, empathy and belief in human potential. I have experience working with individual adults, couples and adolescents who struggle with problems that include:
* Depression
* Anxiety
* Marital Issues
* Relational Problems
* Life Transitions
* Grief and Loss
* Family of Origin Issues
* Self-Esteem
The therapeutic process involves clients in exploring and sharing personal feelings, thoughts and experiences with another person, which is why finding the right counselor is so important. I offer an innitial no-cost consultation session to determine if we’ll be a good fit. My hourly fee thereafter is $80. I do not accept insurance, but accept cash or check at time of session. I offer a sliding-scale option to those with financial limitations, which I am happy to discuss by phone or during our consultation session.

Fees: $40 per session
I work with individuals, couples and families with a variety of behavioral, emotional and relationship issues. Together we will create and work toward goals that reflect your needs and aspirations for change. I view therapy as a process that involves discovering and utilizing one’s own strengths and abilities in order to achieve positive, lasting changes. My aim is to provide a warm, safe, supportive and caring environment in which clients can grow and learn. I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation in order to determine whether I am a good fit for your needs.
I received my Master of Education degree in Couples and Family Therapy from the University of Oregon. There I was trained in systems and communication theories with an emphasis in Solution-Focused therapy. I believe that a positive change in one part of a family system can create positive changes in the rest of the system. My practical and optimistic approach has helped clients who experience anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and communication issues among many other things. I also have experience working with older adults and their families dealing with loss and end of life issues. GLBTQ friendly.
I have evening and weekend appointments available for your convenience. My standard fee is $40 per 50-minute session, payable at the time of services by cash or check. A sliding fee scale is available for those who qualify. Please call me at 503-828-4169 or email KathrynCleland@aol.com in order to schedule an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you and joining you on a new path of discovery.
