Mental Health Therapy

There is no problem too big or too small, we can serve all individuals aged 5 and older with any diagnosis

Outpatient Mental

Health Services

We provide individual therapy with the best mental health professionals, but of course we're biased.  

We come from the perspective that mental health is pretty complicated and many things contribute to a person's state of mind.  We help you gain clarity about your life, what's happening in your mind, and where it may have originated.  From there, we work on healing and building skills to tackle anything life might throw at you so you're free to create the life you want.

We think outside the box and we know that traditional therapy doesn't work for everyone.  We will work together to create a treatment plan that works for your life and your style of communicating.  For example, appointments can happen on a walk, sitting by the river, while working on an art project, or in the comfort of your own home.  ​

Types of Therapy Offered

There is no problem too big or too small, we can serve all individuals aged 5 and older with any diagnosis.

Here is a list of the types of therapy L.G.S. endorses:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

  • Stress Management

  • Parent Training

  • Collaborative Relationships

  • Family Systems

  • Family Therapy

  • Couples Therapy

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Psychoeducational Therapy

Additional Peer Support

Peer support is available and encouraged for each client.  You will be matched with someone with similar life experiences who can help coach and guide you on your path.  Your person can meet with you at your house, on a walk, for coffee, wherever you feel most comfortable.  They help overcome barriers that keep you stuck in one place.  They can be your grocery shopping buddy or take you to the DMV (because who doesn't have anxiety about that!?)

Individuals enrolled in outpatient mental health also have access to our unique Peer Support Programs, such as Equine-Assisted Peer Support and Vehicle Rehabilitation Program, Dragonflies, and various healing groups and classes.

Somatic Healing

Kaverii Blochlinger, Peer Support and Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapist provides one-on-one and group support in releasing trauma through gentle movements, breathing, and mindfulness. Here’s some information about Kaverii:

“I have a focus on being trauma informed in all I offer. I like to use movement and awareness of breath to help people recognize where emotions or trauma is stored in the body. In this way, they can begin to unwind discomfort and pain in the physical body as well as the emotional body. 

I like to help folks by supporting them to balance grief with moments of joy. To do this I use different somatic release techniques, that utilize the senses. 

I like to walk and talk if that is helpful, and honor different phases of life or transition through ceremony

I have experience with working with people with neurodiversity and LGBTQ folks.”

  • Austin Jimenez

    Mental Health Outpatient Therapist MS QMHP CADC

    I do what I do because I believe everyone deserves the chance to rediscover their light and shine brightly. Life can take so much away but helping someone reclaim their parts of themselves that were hidden or stolen is truly magical. I love guiding people to see that they do have choices, even when life has made them feel powerless for so long . My purpose is to remind other that they are worthy of waking up each morning with self-love, hope, and a genuine smile.

  • Jordy Adler

    Why I do what I do: It's part of my purpose- it gives me a deep sense of fulfillment to share the valuable knowledge I have gained and support people when they are in a time of need. 

  • Aaren Osgood

     Equine-Assisted Peer Support Manager

    I have a special affinity for horses and have all my life. Their big, grounded presence is

    instantly calming and centering. They respond to energy with such keen precision and absolute purity, that it is like looking in a mirror through their eyes. An almost psychic and definitely empathic experience. They teach and heal. They are masters at bringing you into your body and into the present moment.

  • Joanna Van

    Mental Health Therapist MSW, QMHP-C

    I'm deeply passionate about human services and helping others. My heart resonates with the individuals I serve. Helping in any way to reduce human suffering and being part of guiding others to seek their true potential provides tremendous purpose to my daily life

  • Xyloh Yugen

    Equine Therapist MA E-RYT500 QMHP

     I know what it is like to live in a chronic state of sheer disconnect when all one is craving is connection. I do what I do to be able to shine a light in the darkness i have grown all too familiar in. I hope to embody in my existence a path of healing through struggles involving dissociation, complex trauma, self-harm, neurodivergence, and navigating life as a transgender individual. I aim to be a safe space for others to be able to settle at Home within their own self. 

     

  • Natalie Haight

    School and outpatient therapist

    I grew up here in Eugene, and I saw early on how common mental health struggles are in our community—including in people I cared about and in my own life at times. Those experiences pushed me toward this work. I genuinely enjoy supporting people as they figure out what they want for themselves and helping them feel steady and encouraged while they work toward their goals.

  • Nikki Van

    I have worked in the social service field in Lane County for 17 years. I have lived experience in addiction and mental health, my professional skill set makes me a dynamic part of the team.

  • Mysti Frost

    I come from a tradition of healing and being close community. I want to continue these practices.
