Depth Psychotherapy in Portland, Oregon
In-person psychotherapy for adults and adolescents navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, grief, and the quiet ache of feeling stuck.
I offer psychotherapy that takes your inner life seriously, even if you’re not sure how to put it into words.
Depth therapy honors the complexity of the human experience. It doesn't just aim to reduce symptoms, it seeks to uncover meaning, transformation, and a deeper sense of self. Working at the level of dreams, symbols, and unconscious patterns, my psychodynamic and relational approach invites the kind of listening that brings profound insight, and I have seen firsthand what becomes possible when the psyche is given the space to speak.
I bring calm, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to going the distance with the people I work with, especially through the complex and often disorienting terrain of crisis and transformation. What unfolds in that kind of sustained, relational work that has profound impacts.
Hi, I’m Laura Birchard, MA LPC Psychotherapy
As a psychotherapist I help people create meaning of their inner world, and expand capacity to hold and access this invisible world to inform relationship to self and others. I provide trauma informed therapy that clinically rooted, inviting dreams, emotions, experiences, symptoms.
Healing is a journey, it is an adventure, a quest—it is a way of making sense of your internal landscape and the unfolding of your unique soul.
No matter your age, depth therapy offers a way to reconnect with yourself and your unique path, one that is unlike that of any other person. As Joseph Campbell, mythology scholar and writer, said, "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are."
