Our Services at a Glance

At Oak Hills Counseling Center we believe (and have witnessed) that growth has no age limit. We pride ourselves on serving Portland with mental health support, no matter what season of life you’re in.

And because our practitioners are skilled in a wide range of specialties, we are able to provide an extensive suite of therapy services that better serves our Portland community.

  • A cozy therapy office with a light-colored sofa, gray and beige pillows, a cream-colored throw blanket, two wooden coffee tables, a knitted pouf, green plants, framed architectural art prints on the wall, and a large window with curtains.

    Therapy for Adults, Young Adults, & Seniors

    Every season of adult life brings its own joys and challenges. Whether you’re adjusting to retirement, navigating the demands of a career, or coping with anxiety, depression, or other mental health struggles, we’re here to walk alongside you—helping you build resilience and a deeper sense of self-awareness.

  • Therapy for Teens & Tweens

    Growing up today can feel overwhelming. Between school, friendships, and social media, many teens and tweens struggle with anxiety or uncertainty about where they belong. Therapy provides a safe space away from those pressures, where they can build resilience, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.

    Child Therapy (ages 2-10)

    When words fall short, play gives children a voice. Our play-based counseling provides a safe, supportive space for them to explore feelings, learn coping skills, and grow into their most confident selves. All while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re supported.

  • Child climbing over a log at a playground with a climbing net and wooden logs

    Parent - Child Care

    Parenting isn’t easy, and it’s natural to feel overwhelmed at times. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. With PC Care, our short-term therapy & coaching, you’ll gain supportive skills and encouragement to feel empowered and to strengthen the bond you share with your child.

  • Two people hold hands, with one person wearing a cream-colored blouse and a brown skirt, and the other wearing a white shirt and tan pants, standing outdoors on a dirt path with trees in the background.

    Couples Therapy

    Relationships need care and support. Our Couples Therapy, rooted in the Gottman Method, gives partners the opportunity to reconnect and grow together as a united team, rather than two individuals struggling alone.

  • Two people sitting on a fallen log in a forest, one with long hair wearing a denim jacket and the other with short hair and a hoodie, surrounded by trees and foliage.

    Group Therapy

    Healing begins with connection. Our group therapy brings people together in a safe, supportive space where you can share, be understood, and discover new strength as you grow. Sometimes the first step is realizing you don’t have to carry it all on your own.

Providing Portland with Supportive Therapy
for Every Phase of life

At Oak Hills Counseling Center, we draw from Erik Erikson’s stages of development as a guiding framework. Each stage of life brings its own challenges and opportunities for growth, and understanding these stages helps us better support you right where you are.

Whether navigating childhood, early adulthood, midlife changes, or the later years, we use this perspective to provide care that’s thoughtful, age-appropriate, and tailored to each client’s unique journey.

Who is Erik Erikson?

Erik Erikson’s groundbreaking book Childhood and Society (1950) introduced his psychosocial theory of development. He is also credited with coining the term “identity crisis” to describe the challenges many adolescents face while trying to discover who they are.

Although Erikson passed away in 1994, his legacy lives on. His theory is still taught in psychology courses today and remains a trusted framework for understanding the ways we continue to grow and develop at every age.
