I have worked with Trillium family services since I was extremely young, out of the 4 therapists…read moreI've had here, only one was decent and she left Trillium. My last therapist here, Ashlie Mole, was entirely unprofessional and untrained, especially regarding eating disorders and trauma responses. She made a direct violation of the HIPPA contract that was agreed to, without a valid reason, leading to a severe decline in my mental health and quality of life. At the time I was 15+ and had enough freedom with my medical care to have a HIPPA contract actually be valid. As far as I know she is still practicing and has faced no legal or workplace consequences. Highly do not recommend. The psychiatry here is good, my psychiatrist has managed my medication very well and actually listens to my input on it.

She helps support the parents whose children were inpatient. Thank you Trillium for helping our family.

I was considering setting a session up with Catherine, however, her website advises that they are…read more"in process of applying to insurance panels in order to offer more availability to middle and lower income populations". I find this statement to be ignorant and offensive. Apparently only middle and lower income patients would like to use the mental health benefits that they are already paying for through their health insurance. You have to be poor to use your health insurance. Therapy is about a safe space to express vulnerability with someone that you respect and it appears that I won't be finding that here with you, Catherine. Cute choice of verbiage. Thanks for looking down on us poor folks who are interested in using our insurance benefits...

Reviewing a behavioral health joint might be too revealing for a public forum. Good thing I have no…read moreshame. I've been going to this clinic for PTSD and chronic severe insomnia since around 2014. All of my Portland-based experience with similar clinics = good campfire stories for people who need something to scream about, but not much help. Similarly, my experience with medication vacilates between Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bell screaming, "I'm so excited!" and the Goodbye Horses scene from Silence of the Lambs. Again, not much help, decent enough stories. That having been said: I love Deanna Barney Cain. She closely examines everything you're currently taking for every real or imagined ailment, and your individual bushel basket of symptoms, and then boils this all down to a formula for positive mental health. Instead of the late 90s mantra of, "Doesn't work? Prescribe MORE!" Deanna seems to really think about an individualized plan, and the importance of not feeling SOMA'd into submission. And friends, this NP put me to sleep; I don't even respond to sleeping pills. She put me to sleep, without compromising my ability to get up the next day, or sending me into some new sloth-informed state of depression. She's a wizard, to the point where anytime someone reports even passing discomfort, I race to state, "Well you should see my doctor..." No one ever listens to this recommendation, but that's because everyone else is wrong. I also see Kathryn Hoover for EMDR. Here's my recent experience with therapists: making them cry, using my dreams for a Jungian conference (without permission), and displaying ridiculous facial reveals that map whatever I'm saying to the point they want to hear. Yawn. Thanks for nothing (except stories). EMDR work with Kathryn is miserable and challenging, but I'd rather be miserable for an hour a week and see progress every day that follows, than congratulate myself for manipulating a therapist once a week, for the lulz. She's open to my humor without letting me use it as an escape hatch, and keeps the sessions focused so that therapy has a beginning, a middle, and an end. This style probably isn't for everyone, but it's the only good option for me, and I can see the results in the things I do. Thanks to this clinic I can focus more time and energy on fictional stories that pay me, instead of nonfiction horror stories that I pay for.

I have been a client at the clinic since fall of 2016 and have had, and continue to have, a wonderful experience. I've seen a couple of counselors in the past and never have I clicked with a behavioral health provider like I did with Lara. Not only did she match my personal idea of what a counselor should do and be like, she has always been both personable and professional as well as extremely responsive. She's been extremely helpful with scheduling and re-scheduling, helping me find times that work with my inconsistent work schedule and extreme aversion to mornings, and has been open to Skype sessions when I wasn't able to make it to the office. On the actual therapy side, she's helped me immensely with managing anxiety, has introduced me to some therapies that have had a groundbreaking effect, and helped guide me to some profound realizations. I've also been working with Deanna for a few months now, and she's been fantastic as well. I never knew the value of a medication management counselor until I began working with her. She's helped me cross-taper medications to something that works much better for me, and has been patient and open. She's answered all of my questions and has always left the decision up to me, without any pressure, ensuring that I'm sufficiently educated to make an informed decision for my own health. The clinic/office is clean, modern, and in a great, easily accessible location. There is a parking lot adjacent to the building and a coffee shop downstairs. They work with most insurance providers and I've had no hassle on that front. I highly recommend PNWBH to anyone in search of compassionate, personable behavioral care.

Aaron changed my life. He is one of the greatest people I have ever met in my life. Sometimes I…read morefelt like I over-explained myself to him, but he always had a way of calming me down. One thing I really liked is that he had experienced the pain of being with a borderline personality disordered person himself, but really seemed to have healed and was really great at his own self work. He always offered me tea or water when I got there, & gave me tissues when I needed to cry, which was very much needed & appreciated. Sometimes the little things make all the difference in the world. He was able to empathize as well as encourage me to think rationally about so many situations. A master at breaking things down, he is truly the best of the best. Aaron, if you're reading this, I love you brother. Thank you so much for the support through the hardest times in my life. I'm feeling a power & energy like I've never felt. May you be blessed for years to come.

I've seen so many therapists and psychiatrists throughout my life, and Aaron has helped me more than the rest of them combined. My quality of life has gotten better than I ever thought it could have ever gotten. COVID was an awful time for almost everyone, but I feel so incredibly lucky that I was able to work with Aaron during the hard times. I've never had a more consistent positive experience during the rough patches of life. Looking back at my life before I started seeing Aaron makes me shudder; I can't stress enough how much better my life has gotten through my work with him. I will continue to recommend him to anyone who is struggling and genuinely wants to get better.
