I can help you build healthy habits with yourself and others, and guide your journey to finding your own life’s meaning. Making sustainable positive changes and getting to deeply know oneself can provide powerful impacts throughout one’s life. By using an integrated psychotherapy approach and applying appropriate theories, methods, and techniques, this can assist you with leading your life in awareness, accepting of self and others, and creating more fulfilling relationships.

I am here to listen to your story to gently help you sort through what might feel like a big overwhelming pile of mess, whether from self-criticism, unwanted emotions, too much stress, unresolved interpersonal traumas, a nagging sense of dissatisfaction with life circumstances or career path, or just feeling stuck. These issues may be manifesting in a variety of ways such as anxiety, depression, burnout, emotional intensity, physical health challenges, and/or relationship issues. Together we’ll uncover the truth of what your pain is trying to tell you about yourself, what’s really important to you, and what is and is not working in your life. This is such an important precursor to lasting change, and it’s not easy or necessary to do it alone.

Stress is an overwhelming part of modern life that can lead to psychological and physical distress.

Knowledge, awareness, and insight are the cornerstones of therapy. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups addressing a broad spectrum of psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual issues with the goal to heal ruptures, reconnect to inner source of wisdom, strengths, and divinity.

I believe in an integrative, holistic approach to mental wellness. In therapy, I will take the time to hear your story and the unique experiences that have brought you to reaching out for support and come up with a plan that is right for you. My approach is empathic and strengths-based. It is my goal to empower each person I work with to rediscover their own inner wisdom and truth, and to help them make the necessary changes in their lifestyle and in their relationships that reflects that inner knowing. I work with individuals and couples who find that the experiences of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, self-doubt, or challenging relationships are what brings them to seek mental healthcare. Therapy provides a safe space to experience what it’s like to reconnect with your authentic self in the presence of another human being. As a therapist, I support this process through the use of mindfulness tools, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, Gestalt techniques, and other methods as appropriate to your individualized treatment plan. I would be honored to share those moments of awakening with you and to support you toward learning how to express the fullest, most vibrant version of yourself in your significant relationships and other areas of your life.

Darlene Sochin MS, RMT
Energy Healer, Reiki Master, Access Bars Practitioner
My present career as an Energy Healer and Life Support Mentor started long ago. I’ve always known I wanted to create fun, loving, experiences for children. I was a classroom teacher for over 25 years and received a Master’s Degree in Parenting Education in 1999. Being with families as a kind and compassionate resource fed my soul. Yet, it was not until I was diagnosed with cancer in 2005 that I found holistic approaches to working with families in a deeper and more expansive way. So, I started my own energy healing practice for clients in 2008 right here in Portland, Oregon.

I have been working with children for over 14 years as a teacher and as a therapist. I believe in a holistic, relational approach to healing that integrates the mind, body, and spirit.

I have experience treating children and their families in an inpatient and outpatient setting; my specialization includes treatment of children with behavioral/emotional struggles, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, children who have experienced trauma, and children who have experiences with auditory and visual hallucinations.
I firmly believe in working collaboratively with children and their families based on their cultural/spiritual values and beliefs to create a holistic, relational approach to therapy that integrates mindfulness, movement and expressive arts techniques to foster recognition and expression of their ideal physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health.

Teri Jaeger, LMT
Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner and Movement Teacher
My interest in bodywork began after a car accident in 2004. The physical therapists I met used a variety of hands-on techniques. This type of manual work was very different from the physical therapy I received after a car accident in 1986. All of the physical therapy was helpful but when I was introduced to Rosen Method Bodywork in 2008 I found something that treated my whole self. After 3 Rosen Method Bodywork sessions I traveled to CA to meet Marion Rosen. Meeting Jane Malek and getting introduced to Rosen Method Movement was a bonus! I was immediately immersed in a life-changing process.
