Deborah Jensen, LCSW — Therapist in Oregon

Hi there, I'm Deborah!

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming and complicated. I am here to help navigate through the stress and anxiety in a warm comfortable environment where you can be yourself and find the path to happiness and the life you want to live.

My focus

I am here to help you decrease the anxiety and stress that keep you stuck and unable to move forward with your life. Together we can build goals and work on the coping skills to achieve them.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach to therapy which includes but is not limited to: psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I also base my practice on the theory of wellness which includes body-in-balance. Body-in balance covers the domains of sleeping, appetite, exercise, relaxing and fun.

My communication style

I provide a safe, comfortable space where you can be yourself. We will build a trusting relationship that focuses on you and your wellbeing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was in my forties before I was able to complete my dream of having a vocation where I helped people. In my early work I discovered how much people with mental issues were overlooked. So now I not only provide therapy, I also work to make therapy available to everyone and give those with mental issues a voice.

My goals for you

Together we will talk through your life and work on goals to help you. Then we will find coping skills to achieve these goals.

Our first session

Our first session will be about getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. Having some anxiety about this is normal. Therapy is a process that we will build over time. We will move at your pace, one step at a time and I will be here to support and guide you.
