About
I believe mental health is a meaningful journey, and I’m here to help you navigate it with steadiness, support, and compassion.
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 am a trauma‑informed LPC, QMHP‑C who shows up with warmth, steadiness, and genuine care, inviting you into a space where you can slow down, feel truly seen, and make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels safe and human — an approach shaped by years of walking alongside people in moments of transition, vulnerability, and growth.
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.

As a person who has experienced addiction, depression, and trauma/loss, I understand the complexities of navigating internal and external challenges when attempting to achieve goals and maintain quality of life. I am committed to helping others build resiliency and achieve their goals.
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.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I truly have an authentic and genuine understanding of how our lives are impacted by painful life circumstances and how learning and building new skills and tools can help empower us once again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging transitions. Over the years, I’ve supported teenagers and adults who have experienced depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-harm, domestic abuse, divorce, and LGBTQ+ issues. I strive to create a compassionate and safe environment where clients feel empowered to express their emotions, discover their inner resilience, and make meaningful changes toward emotional wellness.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Palo Alto University and hold certifications as a Clinical Trauma Professional and member of the American Counseling Association. My therapeutic approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed practices, and empathy-driven support tailored to each client’s unique needs.
I believe that small changes can lead to powerful transformation. My goal is to help clients replace self-defeating behaviors with self-compassion, find strength in vulnerability, and develop tools for lasting growth. I also enjoy using humor to bring lightness to the healing process and encourage balance through life’s challenges.

In my career I have learned there is no place for judgment in therapy. In order to build a balanced life, the focus needs to be on building on strengths, making observations, describing the issues, and exploring alternatives.
I'm Gail A. Wright, LCSW, and I have practiced nonjudgmental, evidence-based psychotherapy to guide others in increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance. I work with adults facing life changes, emotional regulation (anxiety and depression), grief and loss, and relationship challenges. I focus on identifying and building strengths, and on observing, describing, and exploring options with curiosity and willingness to test them out. Evidence-based modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
I encourage clients to be realistic about self-care and self-awareness, and to be open to exploring coping and grounding skills, as well as alternatives to behavior practices that are not helping them achieve their desired outcomes or goals.
If you are interested in trying new strategies to bring balance to your life, I would be honored to work with you and help you achieve your goals.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
