Hello! My name is Kathryn Conyers (she/her), and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of Oregon and Washington. I see individuals (ages 18+) for both in-person and virtual sessions.

Are you a good clinical fit?

Are you ready to connect more deeply with yourself? Do you want to better understand the way you feel? Are you ready to get unstuck and live the life you desire?
My goal is to support you in connecting with your emotions, needs, and inner wisdom. By exploring acceptance of where you are currently at, we can discern what is within vs. outside your control and begin to identify a path toward the life you want to live.
I primarily assist clients dealing with anxiety, childhood and complex trauma, people-pleasing, perfectionism, work stress, and life balance.

My Approach

I offer trauma-informed, holistic therapy that takes into account the mind, body, and context. I am passionate about supporting people to grow in self-regulation, self-understanding, and self-compassion, and this reflects in my approach to therapy. I integrate various approaches to support you to build understanding of your experience, identify and process emotions, engage in helpful and compassionate thinking, and develop strategies for cultivating the life you desire. We may also explore general wellness, as the mind-body connection plays a significant role in our mental and emotional health.

I draw on the following therapy approaches, which I have specific training in: Person-centered; Strengths-based; Emotion-focused therapy; Somatic therapy; Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction; Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC); Internal Family Systems (a.k.a. IFS, parts work, inner-child work); Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, values exploration); Psychodynamic; Attachment; EMDR (a trauma-processing modality); Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Solution-focused; Creative approaches (expressive arts, guided imagery).

I look forward to working with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Interested in working together? Submit a prospective patient form and provide a brief description of why you are seeking services with Kathryn. Our admin team will reach out to schedule a 50-60 minute intake and send our new client paperwork. The initial assessment is where we will discuss your current concerns, goals for therapy, and address if we are a good fit.
If we are a good fit, we will schedule 45-60 minute follow up therapy sessions with the frequency and duration being specific to your goals for therapy.
Therapy with me generally begins with weekly or every-other week sessions. Typically, we’ll check in about how you are doing, and determine what you want to focus on that session. I invite clients to slow down to look more closely at their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify action steps that align with your goals and values. When fitting, I offer guided meditation to practice mindfulness and self-compassion, as well as guided activities to explore and process trauma.
EMDR is a late-stage trauma processing therapy which involves going into trauma memories, helping the brain and body to know that it is over, restoring a sense of safety. To learn more, see our EMDR page and EMDR Handout.
