Welcome to Moving forward, staying present
Maria, Allie, Janet, Kylie, Samantha, Sonja, Elaine, Robert, and our two Erins are mental health counselors here to support your wellbeing. We are located in the Sellwood neighborhood in Southeast Portland, and offer individual adult and couples therapy.
Maria Williquette
Healing comes in many forms. With a dual background in psychology and yoga I will work with you to discover the ways in which you best can accomplish your goals. My approach to therapy combines the holistic and body oriented stances of Eastern Philosophies and Mindfulness Practices with current incarnations of Attachment and Systems oriented therapies. I am relationally and depth oriented. I work best with clients who are ready to do deep work and make real changes in their life. As a yoga teacher, I guide students to move slowly and with awareness of their bodies, while tending to their mind and emotions. In both my therapy sessions and yoga classes, working with the nervous system is of paramount importance. Maria is not accepting new clients.

Allie Corcoran
I love working with clients to help them discover their strengths, goals, and ways to work towards creating a greater sense of wellbeing. My approach is genuine, direct, and warm and I utilize modalities including CBT, DBT, emotion-focused and attachment-based therapies. |
Sonja Crisosto
I will work in collaboration with you to offer support by helping you build confidence in being able to achieve the self-identified goals you have. I also have a background in social work and part of the work I do is exploring societal systems and structures which impact and sometimes oppress our identities, life, and opportunities. I am currently accepting new clients.

Kylie Goss-Dedrickson
I will strive to have your therapy sessions be a place to deepen your understanding of both personal identity and environment to more fully recognize areas you’d like to change, accept or grow. My goal is to highlight how social, cultural and environmental factors participate in your overall well-being and mental health. I come to therapeutic work as a Clinical Social Worker and I believe that everyone can work to realize their own idea of mental wellness and optimal mental health. I prioritize building a connected therapeutic relationship. I am currently accepting new clients.

Janet Comer
I offer holistic services that support relational well-being. Whether you are a parent looking to understand your child’s challenging behaviors, part of a complicated household interested in cultivating more supportive and enjoyable family interactions, or coming to our sessions to (re)establish a relationship with or greater understanding of yourself, we will work together to nurture growth. I’m here because I care about and respect you and your life’s journey. |

Erin McAdams
My approach is trauma-informed, warm, nonjudgmental, and inclusive. With a background in social work, my approach considers the individual in the context of their social environment, family, and larger societal systems. I believe the best therapeutic relationship is formed by providing a validating and safe environment and working alongside you to create attainable goals. Together we will build your confidence and work toward positive growth and change. I am currently accepting new clients. |
Samantha Tracy
My goal is to meet clients with compassion and nonjudgement wherever they are at in
their journey. I want to provide a supportive and safe space to walk alongside individuals
in a collaborative manner in order to facilitate healing and personal growth. I believes that the client is the expert of their life story and I am merely the catalyst for meaningful change.

Erin Carkner
The therapeutic process is a unique path for everyone, and it's my joy to meet you where you're at and walk alongside you as you seek growth and healing. I will create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to work toward your therapeutic goals. I will tailor my approach to our work together by utilizing a variety of modalities in a way that is honoring to you and what you most desire to accomplish in therapy.

I believe that everyone has the ability & capacity to build a life that's worth living. The development of self acceptance & balance is key. We might be a good fit if you’re looking for therapy around: depression, anxiety, PTSD, life transition, career trauma, or couples/ marriage counseling. I have a multidisciplinary approach in therapy that includes Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), Mindfulness based interventions, Narrative therapy, Attachment theory based interventions, and Trauma informed care.
