Hi! I'm Raelynn, the owner and founder of Hourglass Wellness LLC. I am so happy you are here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor III in the state of Oregon. I've worked in the helping field for nearly 10 years and have been a part of countless clients' journeys. I am a native Portlander (yes we exist). I enjoy filling my time with connection with friends, family, and my three children. I love reading, moving my body, working on my newest craft, and traveling/exploring new places.
I believe there is great value in telling your story. Individuals often come to therapy because the narrative they hold about themselves (and others) is causing distress and discomfort. The symptoms may vary widely, but I notice that people often get stuck in a problem-saturated story. They might even feel hopeless and lost. I listen for themes and help you to examine, deconstruct, and rebuild your understanding of past events, relationships, and yourself. I believe that you know what is best for your life—what is most reasonable and attainable in order to reach your goals. I look forward to coming along side you as a co-author in your new, reimagined narrative.
I use a broad range of therapies in my practice. My approach is flexible to each individual need. I believe that our relationship is of the utmost importance and I will work diligently to build and maintain your trust. I don’t believe the necessary work can be done otherwise. I will help you identify your strengths and inner resources and the two of us will outline plans for change. I enjoy teaching skills from theories like Dialectal Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I often use a Narrative Therapy framework to understand you and how you see the world. At my core, I believe that everyone possesses the puzzle pieces for change, but that sometimes we need some help in sorting and assembling them. Is it time for change?
