Our Ideal Client

Our clients are our priority. We see ourselves as collaborative in our approach to providing wellness to our clients. As a group practice, we are able to diversify our specialties and expertise as we work together with the client to provide the support and services that are needed.

My Background and Approach

Our practice started with just one clinician in 2018. Fast forward through a pandemic and a couple extra offices here and there - we have a group practice of diverse and talented clinicians dedicated to providing excellent care to our clients. With the original member (Kelle) as practice founder, our love for what we do shows up every day in how we work together and treat each client as the individual that they are. We have grown in numbers and in geography. We hope to have clinicians who are available to serve all parts of the great state of Oregon from bustling P-Town to more quiet out of reach areas in eastern, central, and southern Oregon. Currently we have clinicians who dedicate their services to teletherapy solely, and we have in person opportunities in the Portland metro area.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

With over a dozen clinicians in this practice we have an array of specialties, expertise, life experiences, and individual differences that make us able to fit most of the needs a client may have. Kelle DeBruin Counseling is intentional in our approach of honoring diversity and recognizing the importance of providing inclusive representation in the clinicians that serve our clients.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Narrative  External link

    Society offers us a narrative of how life 'should be' or 'is supposed to be' according to the details of who we are and the life experiences that we have had along the way. Narrative Therapy approaches those spoken and unspoken stories of who we are supposed to be and allows for further understanding of the narrative and how we desire to construct our narrative moving forward.

  • Gottman Method External link

    Out of the many things that can be understood better through the Gottman Method, two things that the Gottman Method allows us to focus on is our connection with our partner and how we approach communication with each other in our day to day life. I've done advanced trainings in the Gottman Method and commonly utilize the Couples Assessment conducted by the Gottman Method to work through areas of strength and challenge with couples.

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) External link

    Cognitive Based Therapy otherwise known as CBT, like all versions of cognitive based approaches, focuses on helping the client to become aware of their thoughts and feelings in order to understand how their thoughts influence their feelings in maladaptive or unhelpful ways. The goal of CBT is to change the patterns of thinking and behavior in order to change the way it makes the person feel.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Personal Growth External link

    Life offers us times where we recognize ourselves at the brink of significant life transitions. These transitions are part of life and when addressed well we can live fully in our lives and through these transitions. Interventions in session focus on awareness of movement and change throughout a person's life that allows for the acceptance that our past helps us understand our present and in that discernment can help support behaviors and expectations for our future.

  • ADHD External link
  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    Counseling is an important part of both pre-marital and marriage counseling as it enforces healthy communication patterns and emotional connection with each other. As these understandings becomes more clear for the couple, areas of emotional connection, mutual respect, commitment and desire for each other continue to develop and become meaningful aspects in the relationship.

  • Loss or Grief External link

    I approach grief with education, support, and intuition. I find that the most challenging part of grief for people is the unpredictability and the loss of control that is felt as grief tends to take over various areas in people’s lives. To grieve is to acknowledge the loss of something significant in your life while also applying coping mechanisms.

  • Depression External link

    I feel the client’s needs are best met when I am able to engage with the client in a genuine relationship that provides unconditional regard and support while also utilizing cognitive interventions that will aid the client into understanding who they are and changing their behavior in ways that allows them to live more fully into their present reality.
