Accept. Grow. Thrive.
Therapy for change that lasts

You are welcome

My name is Brent Felnagle and I am a clinical and sport psychologist in the state of Oregon. I specialize working with people 14 and older who are wanting to move further along the spectrum between distress and thriving. I work specifically with those struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, grief and performance related issues.

Humans are programmed to seek out pleasure and avoid pain. Unfortunately, our society also communicates that pain is something to be avoided, eliminated and hidden away. When pain inevitably arises then from being human, we are stuck between a rock and a hard place and often lost at what to do with it. Additionally, pushing against our pain tends to enlarge it, making it into something more terrible, frightening and impossible to manage. My job is to walk alongside you, to help open your arms to the full range of human experience which includes both pain and joy. Sadness and fulfillment. Despair and laughter. To teach and guide that our emotions and painful thoughts and memories are not something to run from but in fact are a part of our humanity. To find purpose and meaning in life that often are lost when our agenda becomes choosing the path that avoids discomfort and pain. I utilize humor, genuineness, compassion and coaching to help you reach the version of yourself you may know you want or have not yet found.

All things that are meaningful in life started with a level of uncertainty, maybe now is your right moment to step through the doorway to something new. Something better. I hope to hear from you.
