Willamette Wellness Center was founded by trauma therapist Arin Wallington after more than two decades working in community mental health and private practice. During that time, she saw two consistent problems in the industry: clients struggling to access high-quality trauma care, and clinicians burning out in systems that didn't support them.

WWC was designed to solve both. The practice brings together highly trained clinicians specializing in evidence-based trauma therapies like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and DBT, while also creating a sustainable work environment for therapists through manageable caseloads, strong clinical support, and a four-day work week.

This model has allowed WWC to attract exceptional clinicians, deliver strong patient outcomes, and scale into a growing multi-clinician practice serving clients throughout Oregon and Washington.

Is it normal not to want s*x?

If this question has ever felt heavy or confusing, you're not alone.

Sometimes this question doesn't arrive as a crisis. It shows up quietly.

In a relationship. After trauma. During a stressful season of life.

Not wanting s*x does not automatically mean something is wrong.

Sexual desire exists on a spectrum. It can shift with stress, anxiety, trauma, health, and life changes.

We wrote more about this โ€” and why "normal" is often a myth.

Invisible illness is real.
The grief is real.
The exhaustion is real.

And the emotional toll? Even heavier than most people know.

This article, by WWC therapist Rose Walker, breaks down what chronic illness feels like from the inside โ€” and why support matters so much. Check the comments for the link.

Or**sm equality isn't a "nice-to-have." It's part of feeling safe, connected, and truly met in a relationship.

The or**sm gap is real โ€” and it's influenced by more than attraction. Context, mental load, communication, and s*xual education all play a role.

Here are a few stats that surprise people:

โ€ข In partnered s*x, men report or**sming 91% of the time, while women report 39%.
โ€ข Men think their partners or**sm 85% of the time.
โ€ข When s*x is with a familiar partner, men report or**sming 86% of the time, while women report 62%.
โ€ข Women report climaxing in their most recent s*xual event 64% of the time.

If you've ever found yourself thinking, "Is it just me?" โ€” you're not alone. And you're not broken.

At Willamette Wellness Center, we offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore intimacy concerns, strengthen communication, and rebuild connection โ€” at your pace.

Before becoming a clinical social worker, Lucas worked as a massage therapistโ€”learning firsthand how deeply our stories live in both mind and body. Today, they bring that same presence and intuition into every session, blending talk therapy with embodied awareness.

Lucas's approach is warm, curious, and affirmingโ€”especially for those navigating trauma, identity, and self-worth. Sessions become a space to explore, reframe, and find gentler ways of relating to yourself. ๐ŸŒฟ

โœจ Every person carries a story. Together, you and Lucas can begin to write a new chapterโ€”one rooted in compassion, courage, and hope.
