Getting to know Porter Warrick Hess

I work with couples, individuals, and teens who are interested in developing a greater relationship with themselves and their loved ones. As a trauma-informed therapist, I use a directive, compassionate approach to help you process traumatic events, attachment wounds, and interpersonal conflict. I specialize in working with ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, and other trauma-related conditions. Using warmth and humor, I offer tangible communication, cognitive, and nervous system regulation skills that you can use to feel empowered in your daily life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with adults and couples who are ready to look inward, especially those carrying wounds from childhood, struggling with social anxiety, or feeling like connection is something that works for others but not for them. If that sounds familiar, I can help you understand what’s really happening inside, increasing insight about what you’ve had to hide or fight against just to get by.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I use EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and a warm, direct style that’s as interested in your internal world as it is in practical skills. Sessions might look like trying out new nervous system regulation tools, sorting out your true values, and exploring what safety and connection might look like for you. Using these tools, we can lower the emotional intensity of the past so you can show up more fully for yourself and loved ones in the present.
