Avenue Twenty Third Counseling, 604 NW 23rd Ave, Ste 4, Portland, OR 97210, US

HistoryI began working with children and families in the private school setting in the late 1970's. In this work I had the great privilege of working with hundreds of children and families. My professional work included the role of teaching, identifying both learning and social/emotional differences, group and individual counseling, and support to colleagues and parents in helping understand the needs of each individual child. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oregon and Art Therapist, I made the decision to use my skills and experience in a private practice setting, where I am better able to focus my work on one family at a time. I take my responsibilities as a therapist to heart, and the care I provide each child quite seriously. Child Matters. LLC. was established in 2014.SpecialtiesAs a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Master's Level Art Therapist (AT) I have worked with children and families in the Portland Area for over 35 years, primarily in private schools. In my private practice, Child Matters, LLC., I provide individualized counseling for children and families seeking professional counseling services. Children between the ages of four through fourteen respond well to the different therapeutic approaches I utilize in my practice. These include cognitive behavioral therapy combined with art therapy, play therapy, and talk therapy. I also utilize the practice of mindfulness, helping children develop a connection between their mind, emotions, and physical body. This work is integrated through the use of yoga practice and regulated breathing. I work closely with parents in helping address the issues presenting with the child, and/or within the family system. These may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, social/emotional, school related issues, attachment disorders, divorce, grief and loss.
