Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Medford, OR

I am a dedicated practitioner providing compassionate and expert mental health care to individuals across Oregon. I offer individual therapy and medication management supporting adolescents and adults in navigating their mental health challenges. I specialize in treating ADHD, mood disorders, and gender-affirming care. I also have extensive experience addressing PTSD and trauma-related disorders. My passion for working with clients in addiction medicine has been impactful in my 11 years of professional experience.

With a patient-centered approach, I collaborate closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that promote long-term well-being. I work with individuals to process past experiences and build resilience. I support individuals with complex needs including psychosis and schizophrenia.

By integrating my clinical expertise with a warm, empathetic approach, I empower clients to gain stability and lead fulfilling lives. I understand the profound impact mental health challenges can have on daily life, and I work diligently to ensure all clients feel seen, heard, and supported.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 9 years of experience supporting clients through a wide range of mental health concerns. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, behavioral challenges, and women’s mental health. My approach combines compassion, evidence-based care, and a focus on helping clients build clarity, confidence, and resilience in their daily lives.

I earned my doctorate in nursing from Walden University and have extensive experience providing individualized care across diverse clinical settings. I integrate psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support meaningful change.

I believe healing starts with awareness and grows through intentional, supported change. Together, we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with honesty and compassion. My goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving—restoring calm, clarity, and confidence as you navigate life’s challenges.

I'm Leah Perkins, an LPC, QMHP‑C with experience in community mental health, residential care, and reentry support. I work with adults navigating trauma, overwhelm, and major life transitions, offering a steady, compassionate space where they can reconnect with their strengths, rediscover what’s possible, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, hopeful, and aligned with who they want to be. 

I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT skills to help clients build clarity, resilience, and self‑trust. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, focusing on grounding, healing old patterns, and creating meaningful shifts that support a more connected, empowered life. 

You deserve a life that feels vibrant, meaningful, and full of possibility. If you’re ready to step into your strength and move toward the future you’ve been hoping for, I’d be honored to walk beside you as you grow, heal, and create the life that feels right for you. 

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the complexities—and often confusion associated with—anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and other challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to clearly define goals and a supportive environment aimed at achieving sustainable change.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from Portland State University. My clinical approach is client-centered and often grounded in narrative therapy to identify and externalize problems. Through the use of motivational interviewing, stages of change, and cognitive-behavioral modalities, I help clients build a realistic plan to achieve goals.

I understand what it's like to live with personal struggles and try to manage them on your own. Shame, stigma, and societal pressures often prevent people from accepting help. It takes courage and humility to confide in another about our own emotions. I encourage you to schedule an appointment to discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals.

My goal is to help clients decrease the negative effects of stress, anxiety, trauma, co-occurring disorders, substance use, and other mental health challenges, while building coping, relationship, and parenting skills. I've worked in domestic violence shelters, on the Drug Court team, in schools and counseling offices, and I believe that individuals are unique with inherent worth. I work to create individualized treatment plans that highlight strengths and meet each client's needs. Approaches may include Adlerian therapy, EMDR, DBT, TRM, expressive art therapy, nCBT, AFFIRM, and PCIT. 

I work to hear and understand your story, and help you recognize your strengths, learn new skills, and challenge thinking or behaviors that are not serving you. I may also help you reprocess and reduce the effects of trauma. A session may include conversation, art or writing activities, body awareness, mindfulness practices, or play. 

Counseling can help you get unstuck. What you're going through, feeling, or thinking right now doesn't have to be forever. Counseling means having support while you explore, learn new skills, use your strengths more effectively, and work toward better relationships. If it feels like we'd be a good match, let's begin by scheduling your first appointment.
