Depth-Oriented Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, and Stuck Patterns in Portland, OR
Move Beyond Stuck Places and Repeating Patterns
Feeling stuck in familiar patterns, even though you know yourself well? Maybe you are caught in loops of overthinking, anxiety or depression, relational tension, or a quiet sense that something essential is just out of reach. Despite your insight and capability, you feel disconnected from your aliveness, unsure how to access the deeper freedom you know is possible. You're ready for meaningful change and want to release old narratives, access more clarity, and reconnect with a grounded, authentic version of yourself. Together, we’ll listen to what your inner world is trying to tell us — beneath the symptoms, beneath the story.
Erin Needham, LPC
I’m a licensed psychotherapist in Portland, Oregon, offering integrative, depth-oriented therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the impact of past experiences. My approach draws from both traditional and experiential methods, including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, EMDR, Transpersonal therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, and Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS). My work is parts-informed in a way that resonates with Internal Family Systems (IFS), while grounded in DNMS. These approaches support lasting change by helping you reconnect with a more coherent, authentic version of yourself.
Embracing Transformation
The seeds of transformation often lie in the places that feel most overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, and disconnection are not just disturbances — they are messages from the deeper psyche. When we learn to listen, we uncover guidance, meaning, and the possibility of true healing. Your inner world isn’t broken. It’s speaking.
You Are Not Your Suffering
You are not your symptoms. You are not your past. You are not the anxious thought or the stuck feeling. You are the awareness beneath it all — the quiet witness, the resilient presence still intact. As we release limiting identifications, we open to something deeper: connection, wholeness, and the truth that we were never separate to begin with.
Discovering the Light Within
There is gold in the shadow. The parts of you carrying fear, shame, grief, or anger are not obstacles — they are invitations. When met with compassion, these hidden places begin to soften, releasing energy that was once bound in pain. Your wholeness was never lost. It was waiting to be reclaimed.
