Chad Blanchard (Present Quest Counseling)
I work in treating Anxiety, Depression and Trauma. Are you currently struggling and seeking to better understand yourself and/or work through experiences of feeling stuck? Do your thoughts, emotions, behaviors/ habits feel disappointing, overwhelming, or seem to drift from your goals? We can collaborate to understand what's most valuable to you, the ways in which you struggle, and learn what could be most effective for you in your journey forward. We may just discover the most useful tools for you on your healing path as you metabolize old pain and grow in your own unique and deeply satisfying ways. My intention is to help provide a compassionate and curious environment to allow clients to explore their experiences and further understand both their difficult challenges (such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, difficulty connecting, being present etc.), as well as the beautiful core intentions and aspirations within them. I really enjoy this work. Offering in-person sessions in Corvallis and some teletherapy options as well. Healing and growth...not easy, though very possible. :-) I welcome diversity regarding race, gender identity, ability, religion, sexuality and neurodiversity. If you're seeking a greater sense of peace, value-aligned living, and inner strength, feel free to send me an email or call me. I'll get back to you. The insurances I am able to work with are: Pacific Source, and MODA. Here is a link to my website: https://www.presentquestcounseling.com/ Chad Blanchard LMFT 530-588-8731

Do you feel like your life has gotten off track? Perhaps you're fighting with your partner more. Tossing and turning instead of sleeping. Counting the moments until 5:00, when you can justify a glass a wine to calm your nerves. Each day may feel like a repeat of the last, leaving you wondering what the purpose is. I offer an eclectic blend of evidence-based therapy, tailored to your specific needs. Whether you prefer to meet in person or online, I'm here for you.

Integral Alchemy Psychotherapy LLC
Are you holding a lot internally? Do you appear capable and put-together on the outside yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, or disconnected inside? Many students I work with are empaths and deep feelers who often ruminate or overthink decisions, worry about letting others down, or feel pressure to always be perceived as put together and strong. Are you confused about what healthy sexuality is? Are you unsure about what consent and bodily autonomy looks like, sounds like, feels like? College can intensify everything all at once: the stress of both internal and external academic expectations, relationships, family pressure, cultural or religious identities, and big questions about the future. It is a time of navigating multiple transitions. Transitions such as figuring out who you are apart from your family, questioning beliefs you grew up with, or trying to become your own person while staying connected to the people who matter to you. Add to this trying to develop new connections, and it can feel like you have a lead role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Maybe you grew up in a high-pressure environment, or took on emotional caretaker roles early, or learned to minimize your needs. Perhaps you are noticing patterns you don’t know how to change. Or now that you are away from a traumatic family of origin situation, you are having memories surface and find yourself disassociating and finding it impossible to focus on studies. So you find yourself shutting down, maybe feeling numb, perhaps feeling “too much,” or carrying stress in your body - is it showing up as tension, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, heightened anxiety, or...? You may be a quiet struggler - thoughtful, self-aware, and resilient, yet exhausted. Those who struggle quietly often don’t ask for help, apologize for having needs, or carry the emotional weight for others. Or maybe you find yourself acting out in ways that are not conducive to your well-being - like risky behavior or other choices that are hurtful for you. If you’re a university student who feels stuck between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, or if you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out, I see you and am honored to hold space for you. I understand we heal through connection. Authentic connection happens when we are heard and understood in relationship to others. I attempt to engage our work through compassion, curiosity, humor, perspective, honesty, and gentle challenges when appropriate. I believe in creating a space where you are able to slow down and tune into your emotions, beliefs, and responses as a way to heal, grow, and authentically relate to others.
Morgan Barber Counseling Oregon
Accepting Trillium OHP, PacificSource, and United Healthcare, BlueCross BlueShield I’m Morgan Barber, LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist with over 17 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, stress, relationships, and stuck patterns. The college years can feel like being dropped into a complex world with no map. You’re making real decisions about identity, relationships, direction, and how to live, often while questioning who you are and who you’re becoming. I see this time of life as a kind of search. Students are experimenting, trying things on, pushing limits, and asking deeper questions about what is true for them. That process can be exciting, but it can also feel disorienting, lonely, or overwhelming. My role is to provide a space of real understanding and thoughtful guidance. I work collaboratively, bringing curiosity, clarity, and a nonjudgmental stance so we can make sense of what you’re experiencing. Together, we look at the patterns shaping your life, the pressures and constraints you’re navigating, and the options actually available to you. From there, we focus on building practical skill so you can make decisions you respect and move through challenges with more steadiness. This is not about giving you answers or telling you who to be. It is about helping you see more clearly, relate to yourself and others more effectively, and develop your own way of living that feels grounded and real. If you’re trying to find your footing, understand yourself more deeply, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence, this is a place to start.
