Individual Therapy in Portland and Online in Oregon

Who It Is For

Individual sessions suit teens, young adults, college students, and adults with something in their own life they want to work on. Teens and young adults are a group Marie especially enjoys working with, along with adults at a turning point such as a new job, a move, a new baby, or the end of a relationship. Clients who are BIPOC, LGBTQ, or neurodiverse are welcome, and you will not be asked to soften who you are first.

Inside a Session

Sessions are conversational, not a workbook exercise. You describe what has been happening, for example by walking through one recent moment, and Marie tells you what she notices. She is warm and direct, naming a pattern kindly when she sees it, and you are free to push back. Together you trace how a thought, a feeling, and your next move fed each other, then pick one small experiment to carry into the week and look back on next time.

What You Might Bring

You might bring the what-ifs that keep you awake after the house goes quiet, or a body that stays braced before a class. It could be a task that sat for weeks, then turned into a late-night scramble and a wave of shame, or a relationship, over or not, that left you second-guessing your own needs. Each is part of the work Marie does: anxiety and overthinking, ADHD and executive functioning, recovery from an emotionally abusive relationship, or a turning point.

How the Work Unfolds

The first three appointments lay the groundwork: where things stand now, the story of your life so far, and what you would like to change. After that, sessions become practice. What you share, and when, stays your choice. If a suggestion does not fit your life, your culture, or the way your brain works, say so and it changes. Therapy might last a season or longer; Marie checks progress with you regularly, and when to stop is your call.

Fees and First Steps

Sessions are online for clients located in Oregon, or in person at 1125 SE Market St, Portland, OR 97214, after confirming the details with Marie. Individual sessions run 50 minutes, usually weekly, and cost $200. Most of Marie's clients pay privately. If you have a PPO plan, she can give you monthly superbills to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. If a week goes sideways, please give at least 48 hours' notice to cancel. Everything starts with a free 15-minute consultation.
