These past few years have been difficult for many of us as life changes and transitions have been inevitable. Talking through what you have felt and experienced can be very helpful in moving forward. I believe every person has the ability to make meaningful, positive change in their life. We will work collaboratively to create goals, identify your strengths, overcome barriers, and enact positive, lasting change.
I use a strength-based, person-centered approach, which means I utilize unconditional positive regard, empathetic understanding, and authenticity. I will also incorporate interventions from narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, and other modalities as we see fit.
If you are experiencing faith changes or are deconstructing your previously held ideas about religion and faith, this is a safe space to explore those new ideas and work through these changes.

Key focus areas within Katrina’s work shift to meet each client’s unique needs, but tend to incorporate elements such as identifying and challenging self-limiting beliefs, building self-compassion, learning to foster a more positive outlook, identifying and leveraging internal strengths, moving away from emotional reactivity and into emotional awareness, creating growth-oriented structure/routines, exploring mindfulness and spirituality, and embracing creative expression as a healing tool.

Megan Salisbury, MSW, LCSW
Megan is licensed in Oregon, Washington and Illinois
I believe therapists should listen, not just "nod". I believe therapists should be just as authentic as they ask of their clients. I am known for dressing in what I am comfortable in (not what a therapist "should" be wearing), finding creative and adaptable strategies to handle life, my bold eyeglasses, and curating the right blend of tech savvy with unplugging.
I believe the most incredible journey in life is the one in which we are curious about possibilities and "what if's". If I had never become curious about my own professional possibilities, I would not be a therapist. I bring my whole heart, my whole self into the hour with you. It is your hour where you can curse and cry.
My goal as a LGBTQ+ queer identified therapist is for my clients to have a safe, confidential space where they don’t have to explain or worry about their sexuality, style, or identity. They don’t have to worry about being misgendered and where you don’t have to “teach” your therapist about the community.
Therapy is a journey of healing and hope. I will encourage you to trust your gut, trust the process, and trust yourself in what you need. I will encourage you to explore and make mistakes. We will work together to develop techniques, skills and new ways of understanding obstacles as opportunities. Together we will work on building achievable, tangible and practical skills and celebrate successes in the journey of hope, health, and healing.
I listen carefully to your needs and help clients get unstuck by identifying areas of personal strengths and weaknesses. I lean towards a warm, yet direct, approach with savvy, thought provoking questions woven into moments of stagnicity. I examine behaviors and hold you accountable in improving your life and replacing stale, unproductive behaviors with fresh thought patterns.
All I ask of my clients is they show up. And together, we will do amazing work.
Megan’s focus areas
-
Relationship Diversity | Whether kink, poly, open relationships, consensual non-monogamy or any space in the vast world of relationship orientation is validated and valued.
-
Family of Origin | Figuring out how to manage complex childhood timelines and parental dynamics is often translated into “people pleasing” into adulthood.
-
Sexual Health | While not a formal sex therapist, I hold the space for frank, honest, and valuable conversation about what is - or is not - happening in the bedroom.
-
Life Transitions | From college to caregiving (from parental caregiving and caregiving to aging parents), life transitions can be profound and intimate.
Megan is in network with OHP/Medicaid, Aetna, Medicare, Providence, United Health Care, UMR, Tricare as a non network provider. Credentialing is in process for Cigna, Moda and Oregon - Regence BCBS.
