JORDANA KRUEGER-TOSCHER, LCSW

Therapy / Counseling for Teens and Adults in Portland and Gresham

MY UNIQUE APPROACH

​

I've specialized in helping teens and adults through tough times for more than 15 years. Through a warm, down-to-earth, collaborative approach I'll partner with you to achieve your goals for change and find peace with the way life is. By using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on mindfulness and your unique strengths, I can help you understand and change unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

 

Through our work you'll develop a better awareness of who you are, what you want and how to get it. I'll help you discover and feel confident in yourself, and figure out how to live the life you want. Together we will identify problem areas or places where you feel stuck and find new ways of responding that will afford more enjoyable, fulfilling outcomes. Change is always possible. Making an appointment for therapy is a brave first step in the process.
