JESS SCHMIDT, MA, LPC
Mental Health Counseling for Adults and Adolescents
Hello! I am so glad you are looking for a counselor! I work with all sorts of individuals (ages 14 and older) and specialize in working with adolescents and trauma. I work from a relationship based therapeutic approach which means I strive to create an environment that feels safe, comfortable and supportive to you. I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) which is a treatment that helps people to process past trauma and change negative beliefs they have about themselves. I understand how it is often overwhelming and confusing to think about making changes in order to live the life you deserve. In our work together we will identify specific areas in your life you would like to explore and understand, and then create a plan to work towards positive, lasting change.

ABOUT ME
I am a native Oregonian through and through. I have an endless appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds us; and find peace in spending time in our giant forests and ocean beaches. I attended Oregon State University where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Science and George Fox University where I earned a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
Authenticity is a collection of choices we have to make everyday. It's about the choices to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.
