Therese Long

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

Therapy can help us discover new parts of ourselves, challenge barriers to growth, and develop new skills to create our own paths. We as individuals hold these strengths within us already, but at times life can lead us to believe we are lacking. My hope is to help you discover these strengths!

My Background and Approach

My style is direct yet gentle and I speak from an honest heart. I pull from various models but most often utilize Narrative Therapy, CBT, and mindfulness based techniques. Through a combination of these modalities, I work to help clients re-write unhealthy narratives and adjust patterns or ways of thinking that reinforce these inaccurate self-views.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hold a masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Lewis and Clark and am a licensed therapist in the state of Oregon. My work is done through a systemic lens with the understanding that we are always influencing, and being influenced, by the systems around us. I have experience with children ages 5 and up, couples, families, and individuals. I believe strongly in incorporating holistic perspectives into therapy and working to bring mind body aspects into the room to fully address concerns. I also provide supervision to LMFT Interns and LPC Interns working towards licensure in Oregon. Please inquire about cost through email.
