Therapists in Oregon

Hello! So glad you decided to stop by! I am Jackie Downie, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. You are on your first step on your journey. Some are looking for self-improvement, some are searching for ways to handle anxiety and depression, some are hoping for a new path out of past challenges. I have over twenty years of experience in counseling and therapy. I have experience in getting people where they want to go in their lives. I would love to be there for you! When I work with people, I start with what has worked for you in the past that we can bring forward again in your present challenges. Often people have overlooked their own positive qualities or ideas that can make a big difference. Together we will explore what from your past may be holding you back, and examine and think through new ways to think about your current life and situations. You might start with some new thoughts and behaviors that will create positive change. I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, attention challenges, trauma from childhood and teen years and trauma from more recent events. I have helped parents of kids of all ages and people in trouble at work. I have found ways for people who are extremely stressed by coworkers or managers to hang on and actually make their work lives better. I have helped those who have lost a special person to handle the phases of grief. Each person is an individual, with their own specific issues that they face in their lives that might be similar to others, but can never be exactly the same as another person. I am happy you reached out here. You will find the support and assistance you deserve. Hope to talk with you soon!

As a dedicated clinical social worker, I specialize in providing empathetic and personalized care to those facing various challenges such as stress and anxiety, substance abuse, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, suicidal ideation, life changes, and amongst many more. I bring a diverse range of experience and expertise to my practice, grounded in a holistic approach to mental health and well-being. With specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I offer evidence-based trauma therapy to help individuals process and heal from past experiences that may be impacting their present lives. In addition to my work as an EMDR therapist, I am also a certified drug and alcohol counselor with a harm-reduction approach. Recognizing the complexities of addiction and substance use, I provide compassionate support and practical strategies to help clients reduce harm and make positive changes in their lives. My clinical toolkit also includes behavioral therapy techniques for anxiety-related disorders, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic practices and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). By addressing thought patterns, behaviors, and physiological responses, I assist clients in managing symptoms and reclaiming a sense of control over their lives. Furthermore, my expertise extends to the realm of attachment and relationships, including both monogamous and open relationships. Through a combination of attachment theory and relational therapy approaches, I support individuals in navigating the complexities of intimate connections and fostering healthy, fulfilling relationships. For clients struggling with trauma-related symptoms, I also offer Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), a structured and evidence-based approach to addressing traumatic memories and reducing distressing symptoms and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). By gradually approaching and processing traumatic experiences, clients can experience relief and reclaim a sense of safety and empowerment. In all of my work, I prioritize a client-centered and feedback-informed approach to treatment. I believe in the importance of attending to individual needs, preferences, and strengths, and I regularly seek feedback from clients to ensure that our work together is collaborative, effective, and empowering. My goal as a clinical social worker is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. By integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities and approaches, I empower clients to heal, grow, and thrive on their unique journey towards mental health and well-being. As a lifelong learner, I am dedicated to staying current with the latest research and best practices in the field of mental health. I regularly participate in trainings, workshops, and continuing education opportunities to expand my knowledge and enhance my clinical skills. Above all, I am deeply honored to accompany individuals on their journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. It is my privilege to be a part of each client's story and to provide compassionate, client-centered care that honors their unique strengths and experiences. A little bit about my education and career experience: I received my MSW focusing on trauma & interpersonal violence. A double major, Bachelor of Science in Criminology & Criminal Justice, and Psychology. I have worked in various settings such as the criminal justice system, re-entry program, recovery homes, homeless shelter for youth, adults, and families, day treatment center (ages 11-19), with individual in treatment court, individuals under the psychiatric security review board, and regular outpatient as young as 11 and across the lifespan.

The evidence-based treatment modalities that I use in session, are solely determined by my client's individual needs and personal goals.
