i’d love to, if i’ve got availability and we’re the right fit! i offer a behavioral based, existential/nihilistic, solution focused approach - i’ll work with you if you agree to put in the work outside of our sessions. we're in this together.

i am available during your scheduled appointment time only. i do not provide intensive outpatient (IOP) or higher level care, including ED 1.5+ LOC, crisis intervention or after-hours assistance.

i specialize in teens in high school and older - the youngest i treat is a graduated 8th grader the summer before their freshman year.

not at this time. initial intakes are able to take place online; however, due to the sensitive nature of group dynamics combined with inevitable technical difficulties, in person groups benefit group members most (especially post-covid).

i do not.

i can provide a monthly superbill, at your request, for you to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. i’ve heard the app “reimbursify” is an easy way to do this.

being in a group encourages the development of communication skills, social skills, the ability to accept and give critique in a constructive manner, and learn how you relate to others in a safe environment so you may take those skills into your relationships outside of therapy.

group therapy is more effective than individual therapy, according to research, and though buy-in towards groups initially starts at around 30%, by the end of group buy-in increases to at least 80%. this tells us that fear is the only thing that may be holding you back from a more affordable way to treat your mental health. It’s a proven, beneficial risk to take! (I’m passionate for a reason hahaha)

yes. groups are in person at the deep space office in downtown portland.

great! head to the contact page and fill out the form. you’ll be contacted to schedule your intake shortly. you may also email me at amber@deepspacepdx.com.

yes/maybe; group therapy goes nicely with an individual therapist as you are able to process what comes up from group. best group fit and whether or not you’ll need an individual therapist will be determined at your intake.

i’m a human, winging it like everyone else. my favorite food is french fries. i like reading speculative fiction novels - currently the saint of bright doors by vajra chandrasekera. running in forest park resets my soul. my community means everything to me. i love camping, being outside, getting dirty, but also love fashion and style - anything aesthetically pleasing, sign me up.

i started making my own chai like the hippy my mom always figured i’d become. to some, i have quite the knack for sarcasm coupled with a deep affinity for humanity. i recently started painting and playing guitar the last few years (like many in quarantine). i’m a fairly open book and enjoy the human experience most of the time.
