More about Colleen

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon with over 12 years of experience working as a counselor with children, adults, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting stressors, OCD, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. I also helped many individuals who have experienced physical, verbal or emotional abuse as a child or adult.

I would describe my style as warm and supportive, and I am ready to work with you to help you move forward. Collaboration is important - together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to help overcome your current challenges.

I believe in treating everyone with upmost respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral theory, strengths perspective, systems theory, and problem-solving approaches. I will adapt each session and interaction to meet your unique and specific needs at that time pulling on various approaches.

Seeking therapy is not an easy decision to make, and I want to commend you for wanting to create a better life for yourself. I would love to support you and be part of your journey towards the goal of a more fulfilling life.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Colleen has been such a huge help for me. She is very easy to talk to, even with very difficult memories and situations. She is so supportive and understanding. Her suggestions for ways to process and improve have been very helpful. I’m so very glad to have found her!

Colleen is my favorite therapist I have seen in my limited experience on BH and in general. She has a genuine warmth and kindness that shows in how she listens and engages. It is clear that she really cares and wants to help. She has a lot of experience and wisdom to pull from, in noticing patterns and offering insights. I appreciate feeling so supported and like we could “drop in” during the first session. Even though I have only talked to her twice, I feel like she is on my side and helping me to navigate this rough patch in my life. I highly recommend Colleen if you want a warm, skilled, and engaging therapist to work with!

Great listener that will help me to dig deeper within my self. Has a great way to uncover underlying issues that are causing some issues currently.

Reviewed May 2022

In the few sessions I have had with Colleen, I feel that she has taken the time to get to know me, intentionally listen and HEAR my voice, which I have not experienced to such a degree, in the past with other therapists. I highly recommend Colleen for those who want to connect with someone who is genuine, safe, kind, and certainly an expert in the field. I want to thank her for the support she has have given me, and I trust that the journey of healing will maybe not be a short one, but I feel like I will be able to see it through this time.

I initially was a little bit hesitant to get involved with BetterHelp, but I’m about 2 weeks in and I absolutely love it! I could not be happier working with Colleen! She really tries to take a lot of different approaches to creatively working with me and giving me suggestions that I had never thought of before!
