“Once onboarding is done scheduling is simple. I’ve been in therapy for a little over a year with my counselor. We’ve adjusted our schedules as needed. Zoom meetings are the way to go! Emily listens and offers gentle advice that challenges my perspectives. I’m not in crisis and have continued therapy for my optimum support during major life changes.”

Getting to know Emily Alderaen
Emily Alderaen (she/they) is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon who holds a Master of Counseling from Oregon State University. As a trauma-informed clinician, Emily offers a grounded and supportive presence, weaving mindfulness, somatic awareness, and a social justice mindset into counseling. Emily honors your innate healing capacity and guides you to evolve through your pain. Whether you are struggling with a transition, loss, lack of purpose, or feeling stuck in your life or relationships, you deserve to be treated as more than your symptoms. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are pieces of the healing journey, but trauma is stored in the body, which expresses what the mind suppresses.
Emily works with individuals and couples (poly, ENM-friendly) in a holistic approach that emphasizes mind-body-spirit healing. Emily promotes neuroinclusivity and is LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex positive, body positive, anti-racist, and continuously learning. Emily attends to the impacts of societal expectations and systemic oppression and works to identify each person's acts of resistance and resilience. Her therapeutic style is relational and compassionate, informed by somatics, contemplative psychotherapy, nature-based therapy, IFS “parts work”, Hakomi, psychodynamic theories, and newer versions of cognitive behavioral therapies.
Emily holds certifications in Psychedelic Facilitation & Integration, Integrative Medicine & Nutrition for PTSD & Complex Trauma, Yoga Instruction, Crisis Intervention, Mediation & Conflict Management, and Neuroscience of Trauma and is trained in Hakomi, Nonviolent Communication, meditation, and Therapeutic Yoga. She is supervised by Miranda Gambetti, LPC.
