ABOUT US

At Insight Northwest Counseling we are eager to support you on your journey to mental and emotional health. We want to walk by your side, assisting and encouraging you through the difficulties you are experiencing.

With our incredible team of professionals, we are able to provide a wide array of services that will meet you where you are and cater to your specific challenges. Seeking the assistance of therapy can be difficult and scary and we want to make that choice as easy and comfortable as possible. It’s important to us that you know with certainty that you’ve made the right choice in turning to us. We will do everything in our power to ensure that you feel safe, comfortable, supported, and heard.

Individual Counseling

Children/Teen Counseling

We provide services for presenting concerns including, but not limited to:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Trauma

• Substance addiction

• Relational conflict

It is important to us that each individual that works with the team at Insight Northwest feels supported, understood and hopeful. We understand that seeking help with mental health or addiction is a vulnerable and sensitive process and we don’t take that lightly. We focus on creating a safe environment for you to feel supported and comfortable.

Online Therapy and Psychiatry

We are pleased to offer in person and online counseling. Given our current climate, online therapy and psychiatric medication management can be an ideal option for individuals who feel most comfortable in a distanced setting. Beyond the effects of the pandemic, online counseling and psychiatry offers the ability to seek support from the comfort of wherever you choose.

We offer not only online counseling services, but also psychiatry and medication management via telehealth -- a safe and secure method to meet with a specialist virtually.

Asking for help can be intimidating and nerve-wracking. Online therapy can be a great way to take the first step from the comfort of your own home. While seeking online services is best suited for some, in-person appointments also have their own distinctive benefits. There is a connection that being face-to-face can offer, that is seen as highly valuable in the process of becoming acquainted and comfortable with a provider. No matter your preference, we are here and ready to serve you.

Our Approach to Addiction & Recovery

Insight Northwest Counseling has a unique approach to addiction, recovery, and the impact of addiction on those close to the individual seeking recovery support. While many organizations specialize in addiction and recovery, our team aims to focus on the individual as well as the impacted people around them. The impact of addiction reaches far beyond the addicted individual themselves and we strive to support all of the affected family and loved ones.

The road to sobriety and recovery is different for everyone. While there are common challenges and similar steps to be taken, it is a very personal and individual process. We honor that and respect your approach to your recovery, no matter what that looks like.

Insight Northwest Counseling specializes in addiction and recovery and has several incredible professionals who are here to support and work with you.

For the individual seeking addiction recovery

For the individual seeking recovery, we face the process with a person-centered approach. The process of sobriety and recovery is an individual experience and not a one-size-fits-all treatment. We support you and your path. We meet you wherever you are in the healing process and walk by your side, encouraging and processing your addiction treatment with you. We follow your lead, go with you at your pace and help you to find the treatment method and timeline that fits your needs.

There are several modalities to addiction treatment and recovery and we utilize a wide variety of them:

• Harm reduction

• Abstinence-based treatment

• Mindfulness 

• Medication Assisted Treatment

• Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT)

• Motivational Enhancement Treatment (MET)

We recognize that addiction and recovery carry immense stigma in our society, and we don’t take that lightly. We aim to normalize addiction and recovery, while also being sensitive to such a personal and fragile process. We are mindful of the way we handle the language surrounding such sensitive topics, in order to make each person feel safe in their treatment process. 

To learn more about these treatment approaches, you can visit our addiction and recovery page where we carefully address each treatment method in more detail.

Everyone touched by addiction deserves support, clarity, and recovery. We work to provide that for you and your loved ones.

For loved ones impacted by addiction

Being the loved one of someone struggling with substance abuse or other forms of addiction is incredibly difficult. It comes with feelings of helplessness, anxiety, pain, and confusion. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction or beginning the process of recovery, it is likely that you are facing a difficult time yourself. With the help of a professional you will be able to process the challenges and hardships of supporting a loved one through addiction and you will also be more equipped to process those things on your own.

With the support of our team, we believe we can help you:

• Cope with the impact of addiction (anxiety, confusion, helplessness)

• Establishing healthy boundaries in the relationship(s)

• Heal the relationships that have been heavily affected

• Help you to better understand addiction

• Give you tools to support the individual seeking recovery

• Find a “new normal” in the sobriety/recovery journey with your loved one

Often, the focus is primarily on the person seeking recovery. At Insight Northwest Counseling, we value the process of the impacted loved ones of addiction just as much as the addicted individual. Addiction is profoundly devastating and has the power to damage all relationships and create huge discord in families, relationships, and marriages. We aim to heal those relationships and give loved ones the tools to cope with the hardship of supporting someone facing addiction.

We believe that with the help of experienced professionals, all those affected by addiction can find a place of healing, peace, and true recovery.

Psychiatric Medication Management in Oregon and Washington

We are pleased to be able to offer psychiatric medication treatment. There are many cases in which therapy is the only course of treatment necessary for what you are facing and we encourage you to begin with that. With that said, there are times when medication treatment is necessary and extremely helpful, and we are here to support you through that course of treatment as well. We are able to evaluate, diagnose, and treat you for your specific set of issues, whether that be depression, anxiety or a mood disorder.

Insight Northwest Counseling is here to provide you with the best care

Our providers are intentional, thoughtful and supportive and want you to feel safe and supported in your journey to health and wellness. We recognize that seeking therapy is a vulnerable and sometimes foreign process, and we aim to ease that process to the best of our ability.
