Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and Washington
My name is Caretia (KA-ree-sha) (she/her) and I am located in Portland, Oregon. I am licensed in both Oregon (LCSW) and Washington (LICSW). I see clients virtual and in-person in Portland and I am excited you are here to learn more about my practice and how I can help.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a certified Somatic Experiencing Practioner (SEP). I am psychodynamically trained as a foundation as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), Whole Brain Child, ARISE intervention and Motivational Interviewing. I specialize in somatic experiencing, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence and neurodevelopment disorders as well as trauma and grief. I aim to practice with humility, inclusivity and welcome and encourage ongoing feedback in my practice.
I have been a therapist for over 20 years and I have supported folks through exploring their self-identities, healing from trauma, working through anxiety, depression, grief, loss, life stages and building or rebuilding connections within their communities. I value transparency, humor, humility, integrity, honesty and mutual respect. My practice is intentionally small and I maintain a flexible schedule during weekday evenings.
I believe in healing and ultimately, I believe we all have the ability to find our way through even the most difficult, challenging times in life. I focus on supporting people in creating healthy boundaries, finding and using their voice and challenging themselves to grow and change beyond their comfort zone. We all need fresh perspective and guidance from time-to-time and therapy is a great way to show up for yourself and continue to grow.
