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.

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...

She helped me adopt updated communication skills and language that has helped me connect with my kids and partner in a Much healthier way.

I had tried a lot of things to ease my troubles but I couldn't but nothing seemed to really work. So I called and made an appointment. From day one I was very comfortable with Anna. She is quite easy to talk to and connect with. Without getting into too much details (every person is different) I felt things start to shift for me, even in those first few sessions. Anna is a talented therapist that listened, asked poignant questions, and really helped me to step back and find the answers to my issues with me. She helped me stand up and fight back! I am forever grateful to her and her practice. She is awesome. I worked with Anna for about 3 years....and now that our sessions are done I feel like I have a huge array of tools to deal with anything that challenges me from here on out. THANK YOU ANNA!

However, there are usually discernible patterns to the conflicts that can be gently sorted for more harmony in the relationship.

My therapist is still in graduate school, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but they're honestly amazing--super skilled, kind, and really easy to talk to. You'd never guess they're still in training because they seem so experienced. Before coming here, I had some bad experiences with other therapists--canceling sessions all the time and even one who just straight-up didn't show up. It was super frustrating and made me feel like my time didn't matter. That's never been an issue here. My therapist is reliable, consistent, and always makes me feel like a priority. The clinic is also just a really welcoming and comfortable place. You can tell they care about what they're doing, and it shows in the quality of the people. If you're looking for good therapy that's affordable and dependable, this is definitely the place to go! Also for me the office has a great feel, the energy is just magic.

A year and a half ago, I started seeing Claire and immediately realized that I had found something new. Compassion, trust, accountability, and a strong desire to help me be successful. I had never experienced this level of attention, focus, and ultimately, a sense of success and happiness. Claire provides a comforting approach to dark and difficult places. She allows a natural progression through emotions, conversation, and action items. Therapy requires work, and sometimes we feel discouraged from continuing. Claire makes treatment feel like a mental serum for self-confidence, accomplishment, and motivation. I am a massive supporter of therapy and self-care. I am the best version of myself today because of my work with Claire. I am still working on things in my life, which I believe is a continuous process. Claire has become my grounding point for emotional and physical change in my life. If you are considering therapy or need a change, Claire Colaco is someone I highly recommend. Be kind to yourself. Allow space in your life for treatment. You will be amazed at how life can change with the proper guidance.

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.

I went to see a therapist and see if she was a good fit, and she let me know that it was "offensive" to decide if I wanted to change therapists if I decided one wasn't a good fit. With that said, during COVID, they have tons of technical issues with ZOOM, and give no recourse for how to follow up with missed video call appointments. When I logged in on time to see the practitioner, nobody answered on the other end all 3 times that I tried to have a zoom appointment during COVID. The appointment reminders were set for 3 weeks before and 30 minutes before the appointment, which is pretty useless since I have to plan my life week by week due to my work schedule. About a month ago, I was given a call saying that I would be moving to a higher level of care within Hollywood Mental health, and that my provider would follow up with me for more details. Finally, I waited until TODAY to send an email asking what I needed to do to move forward with my treatment for mental health, and I received what looked like a letter of termination from an employer. Apparently yall send your termination letters in the mail, which, during COVID, the mail system is completely falling apart. At least leave a voicemail if you're gonna fire me.
