Stuart E. Silberman, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist
In 2007 I was rear ended in a motor vehicle accident and suffered a brain injury. The lingering effects of the injury threatened my career, cognition and routine daily functioning. Through my journey obtaining treatment for the injury, I found EEG Neurofeedback. Coupled with support from others, neurofeedback has facilitated significant, positive change in brain function. I have been able to move past the injury and proceed with the career I previously thought had been destroyed, and I want to help others with treatments I believe in and from which I have experienced dramatic results. I am ...

Robyn Heydari, LPC Intern
I work primarily from an Multi and Inter-Modal Expressive Arts lens. I will invite you to get in touch with your creativity as we explore different mediums. Using an inter-modal approach means that we might move from one form of expression to another, perhaps even several times in the course of a session. Some processes we may explore include mixed-media experimentation, sandtray work, mindfulness practice, dreamwork, creative writing, movement, sound, play, and imaginative expression. Expressive Arts Therapy is a trauma-informed practice. It allows us to explore inner material as gently ...

Kaseja Wilder, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Life transitions can be hard and can activate feelings of loss, pulling up “uncooked seeds” and causing grief and anxiety. Sometimes the difference between a life that feels energized and has flow, and a life that feels overwhelmingly hard (or even just lackluster) is a simple twist of perception. The word “simple“ is used intentionally, as many solutions are simple, but do not feel easy. We all go through times when life presents us with changes that cause anxiety, including stress related to grief and loss. Life’s transitions are more manageable with gentle, compassionate, and ...
Keisha Janney, MFT Intern
As a person with multiple minoritized identities, I do my best to understand and empathize with the experiences of my clients. Though we all have different experiences, it can be very meaningful to know that your therapist has a deeper understanding of your experiences. I view my approach to therapy as client-centered, strengths-based, intersectional feminist, and fat liberationist. As a client-centered therapist, I will focus on your therapeutic goals and the best way to achieve them using your strengths. I view my work as walking beside you on your journey rather than leading the ...

Leah Adams-Schoen, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I believe counseling encompasses our relationship to ourselves, our families, our community, and the broader society. In a counseling session, I may encourage more compassion or more responsibility towards oneself, and I may invite examination of societal judgments to open possibilities within each person. I want my clients to find true freedom to be themselves. I especially love seeing transformations in family relationships. These changes will be felt now and in generations to come, and I would be honored to be part of these moments with you. For parents of teenagers: The teen years can ...

Amanda Luree Smith, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
So, maybe you would like to know a bit about the person you are about to see. Did you know that’s kind of taboo in the therapy world? It is, but I also believe in authenticity, kindness, and openness. So, here’s a little snapshot. I’m silly, warm, and love to listen to everyone in my life. I love the outdoors, travel (the above picture is from an epic family road trip from Oregon to Colorado), reading, listening to podcasts, my awesome Episcopal parish, and singing at the top of my lungs. I integrate mindfulness into at least one moment each day. I love my crazy family, even though ...

Scott Waters, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
One of the greatest joys I have is watching someone find more about themselves and the world around them. For myself, this process is best done with compassion, empathy, and some healthy challenge. I know that I need a place that is safe enough to risk being vulnerable as I approach my personal growth. I also understand that if I’m going to grow I need to push through my fear of being judged and rejected. This fear is normal and stops people often from coming to counseling. I try to offer this to each of my clients; a safe space to discover how to be the best person they can be. My ...

Emily Pyle, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
However you are feeling at this moment, you have deep, natural sources of resilience inside you. My job as a therapist is to help you tap into the resources of your mind, body, and spirit, so that you can take charge of your own healing and growth. Often, the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors causing us the most difficulty right now have their roots in old coping strategies that once helped us to survive and care for ourselves. If you are struggling or stuck now, it may be because you are ready to let go of these old patterns and find new ways of being that fit with who you are today and who ...

Dave Lechnyr, LCSW, ACSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Real, permanent change doesn’t happen without help. But you don’t want a therapist who just sits there, nodding and asking, “How does that make you feel?” You want someone to not only listen, but challenge you to be better. To call you on your B.S., offer direction, and help you become the best version of yourself. That’s all that matters in the end. Otherwise, we’re just stuck feeling stuck. Both in-person and teletherapy services are available from my office in Eugene, Oregon for individuals and couples, ages 18 and older. Aside from Eugene, I also provide teletherapy in ...
