“Most of us think of ourselves as thinking creatures that feel, but we are actually feeling creatures that think.”
― Jill Bolte Taylor, My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey
About the Therapist
I am Jonathan, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oregon, and Feel and Think, LLC, is my private practice. I have dedicated my career to helping people navigate stressful and overwhelming experiences. With specialized mentors, trainings, education, and clinical experience, I have found effective ways to heal from experiences that are etched deep into our nervous system and psyche.
Therapies
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an ecclectic therapy modality combining bilateral stimulation, prolonged exposure, free association, somatics, cognitive restructuring, and more.
VRET
Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) assists in training our nervous system to effectively respond to cues that are reminiscent of past, or potentially future, challenging or distressing scenarios.
KAP
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) can be an incredibly powerful and effective to help access deeper layers of our subconscious mind.
It is federally legal.
NT
Narrative Therapy (NT) helps us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves in the context of both minor and major life events that have shaped our experiences. By exploring these moments, we can create a narrative that integrates our past with our present.
