Open Path Counseling

I help adults navigate relationship challenges with family, friends, partners, or co-workers.

Through curiosity and care, we build practical skills—like setting boundaries—and create a plan to bring clarity, confidence, and connection.

When her sister started leaving family group chats on weekends, Lila felt hurt. It seemed personal — like her sister didn’t want to be part of things anymore.

Then, she asked about it. Her sister shared that weekends were her only time to rest without constant notifications. Suddenly, it made sense. Lila realized it wasn’t rejection — it was self-care.

Understanding someone’s boundary means pausing before taking it personally. Boundaries aren’t about exclusion — they’re about energy, balance, and well-being.

Learn to see boundaries as connection, not rejection — to book your session with Ann, call 503-269-7115!

When James noticed that family dinners always turned into arguments about his career, he started to dread them. One day, he took a deep breath and said, “I really want to enjoy our time together, but I’d rather not talk about my job during dinner.”

He wasn’t rude — he was clear.
Setting a boundary is often uncomfortable, but clarity is kindness. It helps everyone know where the safe zones are.

It’s okay if your voice shakes when you speak up. Setting a boundary is an act of self-respect, not defiance.

Let Ann help you find your words and your confidence in setting healthy boundaries. Call 503-269-7115 to set up your first appointment!

When Mia’s mom called every day to check in, it started out sweet. But soon, Mia found herself feeling drained and anxious whenever her phone buzzed. She didn’t want to hurt her mom’s feelings, but she also realized she wasn’t getting space to breathe.

So, she decided to set a simple boundary: “Mom, I love hearing from you. Can we plan a call every Sunday instead of every day? That way I can be fully present when we talk.”

A healthy boundary isn’t about shutting people out — it’s about creating space for love and respect to grow in both directions. It’s saying, “I value you, and I value myself, too.”

If setting boundaries feels hard, Ann can help you find your balance. Call 503-269-7115 to set up your first appointment!

Every swipe makes Mia feel smaller — everyone else looks so confident, so happy. The comparison spiral hits fast.

Her parent gently suggests a “screen pause” — five minutes to stretch, pet the dog, or do anything offline. The world feels a little bigger again.

At Open Path Counseling, Ann helps teens find balance in a world that never stops scrolling — and helps parents guide mindful screen habits.

Ann offers in person appointments in Hermiston, Oregon, or connect from home through telehealth.

Casey stares into the mirror, whispering every flaw they can find. The self-criticism feels endless.

Their parent pauses before trying to help and says, “Let’s write one kind thing about ourselves — just one.” It feels awkward, but it starts something new.

At Open Path Counseling, Ann helps teens challenge perfectionism and practice self-compassion — and shows parents how to model it, too.

Ann works with clients locally in Hermiston or remotely via secure telehealth.

Sam opens the group chat and feels their stomach drop. Everyone’s talking about plans — without them.

Their parent notices the change and suggests a short walk, leaving the phone behind. Fresh air, a few quiet minutes, and the reminder: you’re more than one message thread.

At Open Path Counseling, Ann helps teens rebuild confidence and connection — and helps parents support healthy digital boundaries.

Sessions with Ann are available in Hermiston, Oregon, or online via telehealth sessions.

The night before a big test, Jordan can’t sleep. Every “what if” gets louder in the dark. They’ve read the notes three times — still not enough.

Before school, their parent suggests something simple: five deep breaths together before walking out the door. The air feels shaky, but it helps.

At Open Path Counseling, Ann helps teens learn grounding techniques that turn big worries into manageable moments — and helps parents support them through it.

Ann meets with clients in Hermiston, Oregon, or virtually through telehealth.

Riley comes to therapy to talk about who they are — where they fit, what matters, what’s next.

Open Path Counseling offers space to explore without judgment, and their parent learns to ask, “How can I support you?” instead of “What should I do?”

That simple shift opens the door to understanding and connection.

Ann helps teens find their voice — and helps parents truly hear it.

Morgan doesn’t say much at first. The world feels heavy. Open Path Counseling becomes a quiet space where silence is allowed — and healing begins slowly.

Ann helps families reconnect — even in the quiet moments.

Taylor’s calendar is packed — sports, volunteering, advanced classes — but under all that “doing” lives a fear of disappointing others.

Open Path Counseling becomes a place to pause. To rest. To remember that worth isn’t measured in achievements.

Their parent learns that slowing down isn’t laziness — it’s healing.

Ann helps teens rediscover balance and show parents how to nurture peace, not pressure.

For Jamie, school feels like walking into a spotlight. Every hallway, every classroom — too many eyes. At Open Path Counseling, we explore what triggers those feelings and practice grounding before facing the day.

Jamie’s parent learns how to cheer for the small victories without pressure or comparison. Each week brings one brave step — and a celebration that follows.

Ann helps teens and parents face fear together, one step at a time.
