My Story: Stephanie Snow LPC (She/Her)
I am an optimist, always looking for another way to solve the problem and move forward in life despite the &^%*#!!. I'm a licensed therapist; I have been a therapist for 20+ years, am a clinical supervisor and am the owner of this group practice. I am also a Buddhist.
Born in Europe, I grew up in Asia and the South and moved to Oregon years ago to attend the doctoral program at Pacific University in Clinical Psychology. I have an M.S. in Clinical Psychology and am licensed as an LPC. I found a fulfilling profession and now call this rainy city my hometown. You may have known me under my previous last name: Brown. I have been told I am compassionate, direct, honest, irreverent, challenging and persistent. All of this is true: I don't believe in wasting your time or mine. I want to get to the heart of the matter with you.
While life can get difficult, sometimes a little help from a professional can make things better. I have always loved psychology and feel grateful to be able to work with inspiring people every day. I value honesty, trust, compassion and personal strength and I hope to use these characteristics and values to provide you with the tools you need in order to seize back your life. I practice psychodynamic therapy. I will want to get to know you and help you gain insight into who you are and how you relate to others. Our relationship and connection is very important to me!
Specialties & Interests: Older adolescents and adults, individuals and groups. I do not see couples. Complex trauma, emotional manipulation and personality disorders are my specialties. I do have a lot of experience treating many different mental health problems and crises. I have worked in my own office, a group practice, in an agency setting, in a hospital setting, in a crisis setting and in the community.
Since I am the practice owner, a clinical supervisor and a therapist, I am busy. I see clients on a long term basis, so I am only taking on a few clients right now. I am NOT accepting any telehealth clients; if you begin therapy with me and want to switch to telehealth, I will refer you to a provider who works virtually. Please understand that by making the commitment to work together, you are making the choice to be seen in person.
I want to meet you in person. If you are a previous client wanting to resume therapy, contact us.
Even if I might be a good fit for you, I encourage you to consider seeing one of our clinicians. Ask questions; feel free to contact me. I look forward to meeting you.

My Story: Ames Freer LPC ATR (They/Them)
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Lewis & Clark College and a Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Lewis & Clark's Graduate School of Education and Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and an Art Therapist.
I have spent the majority of my life in Oregon and the tall pines of the Pacific Northwest have always felt like home to me. In my free time, I like to binge TV shows, go hiking or paddle boarding with my partner, dabble in an artistic/creative hobby, lovingly annoy my cat or play board games with friends. I am nonbinary/queer and neurodivergent. People who know me well would describe me as creative, nerdy, compassionate, goofy and an inquisitive/deep thinker.
The primary focus of my training and practice is as an art therapist, and I am so excited to offer art therapy counseling services to anyone who wants a more experiential form of therapy! It is my role to provide you with clinically informed, supportive opportunities to reconnect to your creativity and develop new ways of relating to your struggles and creating meaning around your experiences. We can also engage in art processes that help foster transferable skills such as safely reconnecting to your body or emotions, managing distress or frustration, self-trust and compassion around “mistakes”, mental flexibility, cognitive skills, implementing boundaries, communicating needs and collaboration. Sessions include both talk therapy and the creation of art, and the amount of either depends on your unique needs…from session to session; I will always try to meet you where you’re at currently.
I use a strengths based, trauma informed lens that honors your unique experiences and perspective, supports your goals, and recognizes the ways in which you have resiliently adapted to protect yourself and get your needs met. Additionally, I am always considering how you may be uniquely impacted by systemic inequities, intergenerational trauma and both external and internalized forms of marginalization.
Special interests: LGBTQIA+ teens and adults, ADHD/Autistic adults, complicated grief and loss. complex trauma (attachment-related, childhood, intergenerational or systemic), relational struggles (boundaries, communication, attachment dynamics), identity, navigating disability/neurodivergence, stress and burnout, adjusting to difficult life transitions and existential struggles.
I prioritize in person sessions but can see you over telehealth as well.
Please feel free to reach out and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have!

My Story: Sean Cohen LMFT (He/Him)
I moved to Oregon to be closer to my family. I like the natural landscape and the change of seasons; I really appreciate the rain and the greenery. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, hiking and cooking. In my previous life, I was a pastry chef so, sometimes I still make some of my favorite French pastries. Honestly, you should try Marjolaine pastry. It is delicious!
My education and training: I completed my undergraduate Bachelor's degree in Psychology at Pacific University. I graduated from Lewis & Clark's Graduate School of Education and Counseling with a Master's in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT).
Have you been labeled or judged by others? Have you had to hide a part of your identity? Are you fearful of others' judgments of you? I know what it is like not to be seen as a whole person. It's frustrating and discouraging to be seen one dimensionally and not as a multifaceted human being. I myself identify as a gay man and I haven't always been open about this with everyone in my life. I am now though. As your therapist, I want to create a safe space; a safe space means a place where you do not have to worry about being judged as a label. Are you having issues in your relationship? Do you feel your partner does not see or hear you? Do you feel disconnected from your partner or others? I want to help you reconnect with each other.
I work with individuals struggling with depression, social rejection, anxiety, trauma, men's issues and difficulties in trusting others. I also work with couples who are struggling with co-parenting, finances, communication, lack of connection and intimacy. I practice a variety of different therapy styles including but not limited to: Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, CBT and the Gottman Method (couples). I really enjoy hearing people's personal stories and how your story has impacted your life today.
I see couples in person only. I prefer in person sessions but can see individuals over teleheath.
If you feel like we might be a good fit, please reach out to me. I look forward to meeting you!

My Story: Donna Zucco LPC (She/Her)
I am from Reno, Nevada and decided to come to Portland to attend graduate school at Lewis and Clark. After being here for a few years, I’ve decided Oregon feels like home! It’s exciting to finally find a community you feel a part of! In my free time, I love to read, spend time with my cats, paint, be in nature, and do yoga. I recently completed my 200-hour Yoga teacher training!
I received a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from University of Nevada Reno and a Master of Arts in Professional Mental Health Counseling with a Specialization in Addiction from Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling. I hold a Certificate in Eating Disorders from Lewis and Clark College. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.
The therapeutic relationship can be so meaningful that it’s important to fit you with the right therapist. I hope to create a collaborative space where you feel brave, cared for, respected, and valued. I work from a holistic approach that is influenced by a person-centered approach, mindfulness, the mind body connection, and looking through a strengths-based lens. But what all that means is… I believe you are the expert of your own experience, and you are the only one who can write your story. I believe we should approach ourselves with openness, curiosity, and the idea that we are always growing while acknowledging sources of strength and resiliency.
Sometimes, we all need a little help when life gets difficult, including me! This is where I tell you, you are not alone in your journey and if you are looking for a sign, this is it. If you have been hesitant to reach out for support, I am here to provide that support, to acknowledge what you are coming in with, to give you tools, and to help guide you to whatever healing looks like for you.
Specialties: I am interested in working with individuals, adolescents and adults who struggle with persistent mental health such as eating disorders, substance use, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and more. If you are looking for somatic work, I would love to incorporate yoga and meditation into our sessions.
I prefer in person sessions but will see you over telehealth.
I am looking forward to connecting with you and joining you on your new adventure!

My Story: Jeremy Steenstrup Balthazar (He/Him)
I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California and have lived in Portland since 2007. While I love the redwoods and ocean back home, I’m thankful that the trees and beaches here are never too far away. Outside of work, I try to take things easy and, as a therapist, I’ve been told that I’m pretty easy going. I enjoy books, writing, rain, coffee, concerts, ghost movies, exploring new places with my kid, hanging out with my cat, and keeping my plants alive. It’s also important to me to enjoy, and be okay with, doing things that I’m not particularly good at - right now that’s painting.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark College and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from UC Santa Cruz. I am a Professional Counselor Associate under supervision. I have a lot of experience working in various settings in the mental health field including non-profit agencies, residential, community-based, and homeless services, and sub-acute care. This has given me the opportunity to work with many people from diverse backgrounds, each with their own life experiences, each facing their own challenges.
We all carry with us our experiences of hurt, doubt, uncertainty, and indecisiveness. We carry with us our relationships to ourselves, others, and the world that we live in, and our stories about those relationships. We may be carrying depression, anxiety, trauma, or other deeply personal issues. The weight of everything that we hold can feel overwhelming and we often feel that we’re holding it alone. I work with clients to better understand and process the patterns, connections, and tensions in their lives and in their stories. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, trauma-informed space where paths to healing, growth, and resolution can be discovered.
I practice existential therapy which emphasizes meaning, relationships, autonomy, authenticity, agency, creativity, and connection. I draw from psychodynamic, person-centered, narrative, attachment, cognitive, polyvagal, and mindfulness approaches. I work in a collaborative way that recognizes you as an individual who is carrying your experiences, emotions, and anxieties into the therapy session, and who has the capacity for healing and change. As part of the therapy process, I wholeheartedly invite you to share dreams, artwork, writing, music, and any other meaningful endeavors. I also encourage space for levity - a bit of dark or absurd humor in therapy can be quite helpful.
My focus is on working with adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and attachment issues. My experience also includes working with grief and loss, relationship problems, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, neurodivergence, sex addiction, substance addiction, and interpersonal difficulties.
I prefer to meet in person but will also have some availability for telehealth appointments.

My Story: Savren McConnell (She/Her/They/Them)
.jpg)
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Integrative Studio Practice from Indiana University Indianapolis and a Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling. I am a Professional Counselor Associate and Provisional Art Therapist under supervision.
During my graduate education, I gained experience working with children and adolescents that experienced social, emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. Additionally, I completed my clinical internship at an adult inpatient psychiatry unit. I have experience working with people of many ages and backgrounds.
After growing up just outside of Indianapolis, Indiana, a few years ago, I moved to Oregon . I now happily call Oregon my home! When I am not providing therapy services, I like to rock climb, make art, see concerts, bake, cook, go camping with my partner, snuggle with my cats, and play relaxing video games. I am a part of the LGBTQ+ community and am neurodivergent.
If you are looking for a form of therapy that allows you to creatively express yourself, my art therapy counseling services may be a good fit for you. I also offer talk therapy. Alternatively, I am happy to slowly introduce art making to our sessions if you are curious about art therapy! We can collaborate to figure out what works best for you.
I bring a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach to therapy. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the important foundation for the work you will do in therapy. My lens is primarily influenced by a person-centered approach with the addition of dialectical behavior therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and parts work.
Areas of interest: anxiety, depression, OCD, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+, psychosis, identity related struggles, self-esteem/confidence, trauma, personality disorders, and adjusting to life transitions
I see adolescents and adults.
Feel free to reach out. I am happy to provide more information and answer any questions you may have.
I prefer to meet in person but will also have some availability for telehealth appointments. I look forward to connecting with you!

My Story: Nick Vorpahl, LPC (He/Him)
I have 12 years in the mental health field, providing outpatient therapy and diagnostic assessments to adolescents (age 14+), adults, families, and couples. I incorporate elements of humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness practices into my approach and have experience working with people struggling with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Trauma Disorder, Relationship Conflicts, Life Transition Issues, and more.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and my Master of Science from the University of St. Thomas.
Ideally, clients begin with an idea of their goals and what they would like to pursue through therapy, just needing the extra insight and encouragement to clarify those goals or to take the first steps towards accomplishing them. They may be struggling with mood issues, going through transitions from one chapter in their lives to the next, or dealing with difficult or contentious relationships. They need someone to listen to them, to provide empathy and validation, and then to help guide them along the path they have chosen to make the changes they wish to see in their life.
I recently moved to Oregon after 15 years spent in the twin cities of Minnesota. I have quickly fallen in love with the area and will not miss the Midwest winters! In my free time I enjoy running, traveling with my wife, and seeing as much live music as possible.
My hope is to assist others in adapting to new challenges while learning how to live in an ever-changing world with ever-changing expectations. Everyone has their own mountain to climb, and we all need help to begin or to continue that climb. I look forward to being a part of this journey with you!
I see adolescents and adults, couples and families.
Feel free to reach out. I am happy to provide more information and answer any questions you may have.
I prefer to meet in person but will also have some availability for telehealth appointments. I look forward to working with you!

My Story: Brie Sweeney, LCSW (She/Her)
I’m from the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and spent time between Minnesota and Wisconsin until 2022, when I moved to Portland, OR. I love being able to see the mountains and greenery every day and to have access to such wonderful, diverse nature. I enjoy any activity that my dog, Nova, can do with me, especially hiking, paddle boarding, swimming/floating and taking road trips. I also am an avid reader, love a good couch potato situation, getting crafty, and learning to do new things.
I hold a Bachelor’s of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a Gender Studies Certificate and a Master’s Degree of Social Work from the University of Kentucky, in Clinical Social Work. I have over 10 cumulative years of working with survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation, survivors of domestic and sexual violence, youth in foster care and adopted youth, the houseless population, and individuals with mental health needs. I am completing the National Certification Training for Adoption Competency in Summer of 2026, completing over 60 hours of specialized training to work with those in the Adoption Kinship Network.
My approach is individualized to each client, as each person is different, and there is no therapy “one-size fits all” approach. However, my practice is client-driven, strength-based, trauma-informed, holistic, and unique to meet each person’s specific needs and treatment goals. I utilize a variety of therapy modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Mindfulness Therapy, Art Therapy techniques, Somatic Therapy techniques, and Family Systems Therapy. My dog, Nova, frequently joins her for therapy sessions, is always excited to interact with you and provides Animal Assisted Therapy.
Life can be challenging and difficult, but it doesn’t have to be managed on your own. Therapy can be a safe, nonjudgemental space to process, heal, and grow. I believe that therapy can empower people to be the best that they can be and that every person deserves unconditional support and therapeutic validation. It will be my job to empower you to make the changes you want to see for yourself, support you along your mental health journey, and help celebrate your successes.
I specialize in working with pre-teens, adolescents, young adults, and families. I specialize in working with those who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm/self-injury, domestic violence, abuse/neglect, foster care, adoption, sexual exploitation or human trafficking, family conflict, trauma, and behavioral concerns.
If you feel that we could be a good fit, please feel free to reach out. I prefer in person sessions. I am eager to connect with you and to empower you in your mental health journey.
