Getting to know Collette Portner

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I understand the pressure of trying to hold it all together while navigating relationships, careers, parenting, and life's unexpected plot twists. I'll support you, encourage you but will also challenge the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. It is always a pleasure to witness what an hour a week can do for a person. As a therapist, I don't believe in pretending to have all the answers or expecting people to have it all figured out. I believe in creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are—messy, overwhelmed, uncertain, hopeful, or somewhere in between.

What should a new client know about working with you?

my approach remains consistent, I welcome humor and compassion. I bring my authentic self into therapy and use my life experience as well as my education to help every person that sits across from me. Feedback from my clients often is how my direct and challenging approach is a favorite. When I am in therapy I am committed and focus to you, I want you to get what you need out of our time together.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our intake session will be what I call "very interview-ish", I am going to ask you lots of questions and we will jump around from topic to topic. We have a lot to cover in our fist session. I am going to understand you goals for therapy and what you would like to accomplish in a "perfect therapy world". I always say the 4-5th session and so on are where the real work happens. You begin to let down walls and are more comfortable. The relationship between a therapist and a client is the foundations of therapy. :)
