Sarah Lowe, Professional Counselor Associate
Therapist

Hello, I am happy you are here.

 

My name is Sarah Lowe, I am currently a Professional Counselor Associate licensed through the Oregon board. I am also a QMHP.

 

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Superior with my Master of Science in Education Clinical Mental Health in December of 2023.My first career was in teaching. Through that experience I developed a strong empathy for students who experienced mental health challenges. That led me to graduate school to become a therapist to honor my passion for helping individuals through their mental health struggles and guiding them to the path of wellness. I provide non-judgmental, supportive counseling to individual adolescents ages 15 and up, and adults who might be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, difficulty with life transitions, stress, and trauma.

 

We all experience both tranquility and turmoil throughout our lives at different times. As we grow and learn through these experiences, reaching out for help is a powerful thing that can help you regain control of your life at a time when you might feel lost. With my compassion, active listening skills, and empathetic approach to counseling my goal is that I can help guide you to regain that control.

 

I was born and raised in the Midwest, I moved to Oregon in 2022 chasing the mountains, coast and beautiful nature that surrounds us here. When I am not spending time at work walking alongside clients on their mental health journey, I am typically doing something active in nature with my husband and our two pups. I strongly believe in a healthy work life balance so that I can ensure I am 100% present with my clients during work hours and 100% present at home with my family during my personal time.

 

I would love to talk and see if we could be a good fit for each other. Please reach out with any questions or to set up an intake session!

Hablo Español

I offer a client-focused, supportive, and unbiased counseling environment for both youths and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, challenges with life transitions, stress, and trauma. Individuals experience both positive and negative emotions throughout their lives. I strive to be compassionate, empathetic, actively listening, present, and guiding my clients through their transformational journey. My goal is to help my clients regain control of their lives, promote resilience, balance, coping skills, and fulfillment. A strong therapeutic alliance is fundamental in helping the client move forward.
 

My devoted area of interest is complex trauma, and applying multiple interventions based on dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy (NT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), trauma-focused acceptance, and commitment therapy (TF- ACT), and internal family systems (IFS).

I am bilingual and bicultural, and as a parent, husband, and immigrant, I have experience with challenges related to raising children, maintaining work-life balance, and factors associated with acculturation and multiculturalism. I enjoy traveling, exercising, spending time with my family, and cultivating my spirituality.

Everyone finds themselves getting stuck in old patterns or unfamiliar places in life. We do not understand how we got there or what we can do to break out. Life throws at us unthinkable, surprising, and practically unbearable curve balls that might be too much to process. Life is a journey of self discovery, pursuit of truth, and developing self-awareness. I have been fortunate to learn and apply counseling theories and methods to help others (and myself). I strive to support you to grow and develop healthier skills, patterns, and relationships. Finding peace and balance along the way to a better you.

​

I specialize in several areas, including: PTSD, trauma, grief, bipolar, SPMI, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, adults, and couples counseling. I will consider clients within the adolescent and teenage age range on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, my clinical experience includes serving individuals participating in Civil Commitment, PSRB, and Aid-and-Assist programs.

Cleo Doyle, QMHP, Professional Counselor Associate
Therapist

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, loneliness, people-pleasing, and major life transitions. I also work with people who may not be experiencing a specific crisis but feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about where they are headed and want to better understand themselves and create meaningful change.

​

As a psychodynamic therapist, I take a depth-oriented approach that looks beyond immediate symptoms to explore the underlying patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we may explore how past experiences and important relationships continue to influence how you feel and respond in the present. My goal is to create a space where you can develop greater self-understanding, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and develop a stronger sense of agency in your life.
 

My approach is informed by my academic background in philosophy and Jungian psychology, as well as my training in clinical mental health counseling. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, a master’s degree in Jungian Psychology, and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Works with Children/Adolescents

Hello! I’m Heather, a Philly transplant now happily settled in the PNW. I am a student intern finishing my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of the Cumberlands. My first internship was at a child advocacy center (CAC), and I am excited to land at The Trauma Academy, expanding my work to all ages.

​

I want therapy to be a place where you can feel comfortable dropping your mask and being yourself. My work draws from CBT, DBT, ACT, existential and person-centered therapy, and I am trained in Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) when working with children and adolescents with trauma. I enjoy making therapy hands-on, using creative activities and experiential exercises when that fits the person I’m working with, regardless of age. I’m naturally curious and want to understand what you’re going through, what has kept your patterns going, and what you would like to be different. We will work together to help you incorporate new coping skills into your daily life.

​

I can help you navigate major life transitions or process trauma, grief and loss, or new medical diagnoses. I also see clients with anxiety, phobias, those who have experienced bullying, or who struggle with problematic internet use. I have much experience working with neurodivergent folks and am very understanding of unique sensory needs. There is a weighted sloth plushie and plenty of fidgets in my therapy room!

​

Outside of counseling, I have a daughter in college and a creamsicle kitty we lovingly call Trony Bologna. I have been volunteering with Make-A-Wish Oregon for over a decade, and will always have a special place in my heart for children and families facing serious illness. I love hiking in the Gorge, baseball games, baking banana bread, and taking road trips to the coast.​​

Hello! My name is Jaidyn, and I am a counseling intern and graduate student at Western Oregon University. I am excited to be part of The Trauma Academy team and support adolescents, adults, and families while they navigate life challenges, explore their identities, and work towards becoming their most authentic selves. I enjoy working with individuals 13 and older, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

 

As a member of both the LGBTQ+ and POC communities, I understand the importance of feeling seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about advocating for individuals from historically marginalized communities and providing culturally responsive care that respects and honors the client's identity and lived experiences. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and genuine environment where clients can openly explore their emotions, identities, goals, and needs without the fear of judgment.

 

My counseling approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I view therapy as a collaborative process built on trust, respect, and openness. I incorporate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients create meaningful changes in their lives. Outside of counseling, I enjoy hiking, listening to music, tending to my plants, and spending time with my cats and dogs.
