Hi, I’m Bre, preferred pronouns she/her. I am a licensed professional counselor in both Oregon and California, with over seven years of experience. I have worked with individuals of all ages, with different backgrounds, and across a wide variety of settings.
Within sessions, I take a humanistic psychological approach while remaining rooted in mindfulness. Through my variety of trainings, I have gained the insight and skills to show up fully for others in session. I remain an active participant in deepening my self-awareness through ongoing therapy, yoga, and meditation. These practices aid me in my own self-discovery of inherent compassion in order to guide others with humility and grace.
My Education and Additional Trainings:
• Naropa University, Master of Arts, Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology
• University of Missouri St. Louis, Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Art Therapy
• Adi Yogpeeth, 500 Hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), Yoga Therapy & Ayurveda Yoga
• Emotional Frequency Technique (EFT), Level I & II
• Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
Diversity and inclusion are crucial for me in my personal life, and in my career as a therapist. While working from a social justice lens, I invite conversation regarding bias, privilege, and power. Throughout my diverse experiences in the field, I have increased my competency as well as my confidence in being of service to others. Let's create a supportive and safe space together that is unique to your needs as an individual.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Family conflicts, Grief, Self esteem, Coping with life changes

Breanna has been wonderful and is an exemplary therapist. She listens, is supportive in healthy decision making, challenges me, and has helped me better understand myself. With her help I've made a lot of progress and I feel like I'm in a much better place. Couldn't have done it without her.

Its nice to have a therapist like Bre who listens and is able to give me solid advice that pertains to me. I also appreciate that she knows what she is talking about. I feel like when I am talking to her that she is able to actually provide help, its been a struggle to find a therapist like that.

I absolutely recommend Bre Spehn as a therapist. She has helped me talk through my anxieties, and has never once made me feel “bad” or “wrong” about my feelings, while guiding me to a healthier place. I look forward to my time with her, and I appreciate her relaxed nature and expertise.
