Sahara Bunna, LPC — Therapist in Oregon

Hi there, I'm Sahara!

I help individuals navigate life's challenges by focusing on strengths and self-awareness. Using Person-Centered Therapy, DBT, trauma-informed care, and integrated mental health, I tailor treatment to build resilience, healthy coping, and authenticity.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing trauma, mood and personality disorders, eating disorders, schizophrenia, and co-occurring issues. I also support veterans, active military, law enforcement, and first responders—helping all clients build balance, resilience, and authenticity.

My approach

I provide compassionate, non-judgmental support in a safe space. My holistic, client-centered approach empowers you to build self-awareness, resilience, and practical coping skills. Whether you're facing trauma, mood disorders, or relationship issues, I'm here to support your journey toward lasting change.

My communication style

I offer a compassionate, non‑judgmental tone, providing safety and support. I listen deeply, center your experience, and adapt to your pace. My style is holistic and warm, focused on you feeling understood, validated, and empowered throughout therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started in nursing, then spent years in the corporate world, but felt called to deeper healing work. Now, I bring a grounded, compassionate lens shaped by real-world and clinical experience.

My goals for you

Together, we clarify your strengths, needs, and goals. I tailor treatment using Person‑Centered Therapy, DBT, trauma‑informed care, EMDR, and integrated mental health. We build skills—coping, emotional regulation, self‑awareness—and move progressively, tracking growth and adjusting as you heal.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll build rapport and explore your story at your pace. You'll be heard, supported, and understood. Clients often leave feeling validated, empowered, and hopeful. Together, we'll create a trust-based relationship focused on your unique needs and goals.
