Kerry Headley, CRC, PC-A

You are an adult living with anxiety, family of origin issues, identity worries, or trauma responses. You are likely to express yourself best through a variety of art forms, consider yourself neurodivergent, and/or part of the LGBTQIA+ community. You may be interested in or follow Earth-based practices such as the solstice, and work in the helping/caregiving professions. If any of this sounds like you, we are likely to be a good fit and make meaningful change together.

What do you want your life to look like? What needs to change for that to happen? Each of us would respond differently. Exploring and validating your answers is part of what we will do together. We will also collaborate to figure out what will support you moving forward, which will likely include a combination of therapies. I bring in Narrative Therapy because when we examine our lives for themes and stories, we often realize that we can reshape those stories into ones that feel more meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches us coping skills, empowering us to interrupt our worries and thought patterns. I believe in the power of creativity and the unconscious, so expressive art therapies and dream work is offered as well. 

You will find me to be warm and down to earth and probably funnier than you were expecting. (Humor is a great coping skill!) Focus areas include: anxiety, trauma, religious/spiritual abuse (including cults), identity, and adult children of emotionally immature parents. I am also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, meaning that I have experience with chronic illness, injury, and disability. I work with individuals—teens and adults—and am a cisgender, straight woman aligned with the LGBTQIA+ community. 

I have been in the mental health field since 2018. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Oregon and earned a Master of Science degree in Counselor Education from Portland State University.
