Therapy Options for Beaverton Residents

Where the Work Week Gets Stuck

You may know what needs doing, and even how, but the first step will not come. Messages stack up while you wait to feel ready. A routine you started holds for a few days, then one missed morning and it is gone. On top of that, worry about performance adds its own weight: rereading an email five times, bracing before a meeting, going over a conversation long after it ends. Executive functioning and anxiety can feed each other this way, and therapy can work on both at once.

You Do Not Need a Label First

You do not need an ADHD label to begin; trouble with follow-through at work is enough. If you wonder whether ADHD is in the mix, Marie provides ADHD screening. She does not prescribe, and testing is outside her role, but she can also help connect you with a psychologist for a comprehensive evaluation, or a psychiatrist to explore medication options. Meanwhile, sessions stay practical: smaller first steps, time you can see, and routines that bend through a hard week.

What a Session Can Look Like

A session usually starts with one real moment from your week, such as the report you opened four times and closed again. Marie asks what was running through your mind right then, maybe "this has to be perfect, or they will see I am behind." Together you look at whether that thought holds up, then pick one experiment for the week ahead, such as ten minutes on the report before checking messages. Next time, you look at how it went and adjust, with no scorekeeping.

Fitting Fifty Minutes Into a Work Week

Sessions are 50 minutes and usually weekly. Online, any private spot in Oregon where you can talk freely will do. In person means the office at 1125 SE Market St, Portland, OR 97214, so confirm with Marie before scheduling. Rather than guessing at times, bring the real shape of your week to the consultation, including meetings that cannot move. If a work crunch hits, please give at least 48 hours' notice to cancel; shifting the session within that week is counted as a reschedule.

Fees and a First Conversation

Individual sessions are $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. The free 15-minute consultation, by phone or video, is a chance to describe a typical work week and ask how she would approach it. A brief note through the contact page is enough to set one up, and you can save the details for the call.
