Vista Counseling

Vista Counseling We approach this with a culture of humility, as well as an understanding that we are responsible for our own learning.

Vista Counseling & Wellness Center is committed to addressing cultural issues around implicit bias, racism, micro-aggressions, for communities of color and diverse backgrounds. We believe that this learning is lifelong. We strive to be allies in any way we can, work to be open to feedback when we make mistakes, and committed to putting meaningful action behind these sentiments.

A thriving relationship isn’t just by chance – it happens through consistent care, communication, and intentional actions over time. Love is more than just grand gestures. Building small, everyday habits is crucial for strengthening your connection and maintaining that spark with your partner.

Living with purpose doesn’t mean everything has to be figured out. Rather, it means we choose to navigate our lives with intention and more direction. Every day is a chance to live with greater meaning, to connect with what truly matters, and to leave behind something lasting.

We all search for meaning. Some find it in career, others in family, and some through spiritual or creative pursuits. But no matter where purpose is rooted – it can give our lives meaning, direction, and depth. The beauty of purpose is that it isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are still guiding pri...

For many Oregonians, SUMMER (in all caps!) is what we’ve been waiting for.

By: Collin King, LPC and Mindy Laroco, LPC For many Oregonians, SUMMER (in all caps!) is what we’ve been waiting for. “This is what I invested in during mid-February!” we might feel. “I’ve got to soak it up!” But in the glory of all that Vitamin D, it can be easy to over-extend socially,...

Fierce self-compassion is about being kind to yourself, setting boundaries, and taking action when needed. By practicing it, you’ll protect your well-being, prevent burnout and stay motivated through challenges.

Many of us find it easier to show compassion to others than to ourselves, especially when it comes to setting boundaries or standing up for our needs. Learning to practice fierce self-compassion can help you protect, provide for, and motivate yourself when you need it most. What is Fierce Self-Compa...

“Habituation” is the phenomenon where we become desensitized to the same repeated stimuli.

By Emi Gilbert, LCSW “Habituation” is the phenomenon where we become desensitized to the same repeated stimuli. Right now, take a moment to notice the feeling of your clothes on your body. For the majority of us, we were not attuned to this sensation until we deliberately drew our attention to i...

Making friends as an adult can feel like navigating a maze without a map. We don’t have the built-in opportunities we had in school or college, and life’s responsibilities can make it harder to carve out the time and energy for new relationships. Still, meaningful friendships are possible at any stage of life; it just takes a bit of intention and openness.

Change doesn’t have to leave you depleted. When you lead with strengths not just effort you create a path that feels more sustainable, productive, and energizing.

Change is constant. But our reactions to it? All over the map. Some changes spark energy and creativity. Others leave us overwhelmed and drained. Why is that? The difference often lies not in the change itself, but in how we experience and respond to it. So how can you use your strengths to approach...
