Finding the right fit with a counselor matters, just like any other healthy relationship. It is of the utmost importance to feel supported and understood by your therapist; that you feel you can talk about everything and anything that you need or want to without fear of judgment. It may be helpful for you to know that I have also been the client in the therapeutic relationship and I understand the courage it takes to be vulnerable with another person. We will go at your pace in our work together so that the process is just as impactful as the destination. My name is Lara Peter and I am a licensed therapist (LCPC), a Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor in Professional Counseling (ACS). I have both a B.A. and M.A. in Psychology. All of that alphabet soup aside, I have 15 years of experience in the field of mental health; 10 of those years as a therapist providing individual, family, and group therapy. I have had clients as young as 4 and through the lifespan; however, I specialize in providing individual therapy to adults. I have worked in a variety of settings including outpatient, in-home, residential, public school and universities. I believe my role as a therapist to be like that of a sponge and a mirror. I soak in what you share with me during our conversations together and reflect back to you your disclosures to foster greater self-awareness and insight into the root of the concern. My theoretical orientation is foundationally person-centered and solution-focused; however, I am eclectic in my interventions and draw from an array of theoretical approaches to best meet your needs. What this means is that I take an empowering non-judgmental stance to my work and will not only listen but also provide you with feedback, tools, and resources to help you actively achieve your goals. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counseling and I creatively partner with you to help bring about the changes you seek. I find building therapeutic relationships with my clients to be very fulfilling and genuinely appreciate the trust placed in me with the intimate details of your life. Thanks for taking the time to read a bit about me and I look forward to hearing more from you!

Hi! I am Dr. Ashley Bordelon, a licensed psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst living in Oregon. I received my Master's degree in 2006 and worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor prior to working with children and families for the next decade. I returned to school for my Ph.D., which I received in 2018, at Louisiana State University. I completed my internship and post-doctoral fellowship at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I am a licensed psychologist in Maryland and Oregon. My experience in diagnosis and treatment of disorders ranges from childhood externalizing disorders (challenging behavior, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc.) to internalizing disorders, such as anxiety and depression, in adults. My therapeutic techniques center around the underpinnings of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Mindfulness, values-based living, and behavior modification are all parts of this process. I will help guide you to learn to live with your feelings and thoughts and not against them, while helping you change your behavior to live closer to your personal values for the long-term.

I offer a space of nonjudgmental compassion to create a safe environment where you can feel free to express yourself. I have a passion for helping people work through their issues to reach healing.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have worked in many different environments, which include a residential substance abuse facility, a nonprofit community outreach organization, correctional institutions for men and women, private practice, and a community behavioral center. In all my work I have learned that at the core people are simple in many ways and complex in others. I would love to stand alongside you and help you to effectively manage the difficulties you are experiencing in life. Thank you for having the courage and strength to reach out and ask for help. I have worked with a wide range of issues from depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and mood disorders. My approach to treatment is eclectic, but the modality of treatment that I use most frequently is Cognitive Behavioral approach. Another approaches that I also frequently use are EMDR. I also use Motivational Interviewing, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and Gestalt methods fairly consistently. Your treatment is about you and you are the most important person in the room so I encourage feedback that is both affirming of what is working and candid feedback about what is not working for you. Each person is different and what works for one person may not work for another so I need feedback to give you the treatment that is most effective for you as an individual. I am always honored to have the opportunity to step in someone’s life to help them with their struggles. Thank you for the privilege of being able to step into your life and offer you support.
