Meet Our Clinicians
Progress Counseling is a group of clinicians who believe that every client deserves the highest quality of care -- this means, every client has someone meeting them where they're at, walking alongside them, and truly hearing and seeing them.
What does a "high quality of care" mean in practice? It means we as a team of clinicians value being:
- Trained, and continually receiving the best training available
- Accountable, supported, and developing as part of a larger team
- Under supervision, even if fully licensed
- Engaged with counseling, healing, and life-giving practices of their own
- Present. Our clinicians have limited caseloads so we are effective, ethical, healthy, and engaged.
The Progress Counseling clinic is based in Portland, Oregon where we offer in-person counseling. We are also currently licensed to provide virtual counseling in Oregon and Washington.
