Willamette Wellness Center

Ever catch yourself thinking:
"Why do I keep doing that?"
"I know better—but I still react the same way."

You're not broken. You're protecting yourself. 🌱

Through 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 (𝐈𝐅𝐒) 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲, we learn that the parts of us we judge most—anger, people-pleasing, defensiveness—were once our best attempts to stay safe.

Healing starts when we ask not "What's wrong with me?" but "What part of me is trying to help me?" 💛

✨ 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. ✨
As we get ready to open our new Milwaukie office this fall, we're thrilled to shine a light on the creative heart behind our space — Alexandra Morris of 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐬 (.interiors). 💛

Every color, texture, and corner of our office was designed with care and intention — to help clients feel safe, grounded, and at ease the moment they walk through our doors.

Alexandra's vision captured exactly what we hoped for: a space that reflects warmth, calm, and connection. 🌿

We're so grateful for her thoughtful touch in helping us create an environment where healing can truly begin.

"𝐈 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲."
If that sounds familiar, narrative therapy might be for you.

Meet 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐂𝐖𝐒𝐀 — a Portland-based therapist who helps adults and teens rewrite the stories that keep them feeling trapped, anxious, or disconnected.

Before becoming a clinical social worker, Lucas worked as a massage therapist—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 affirming—especially for those navigating trauma, identity, and self-worth. Sessions become a space to explore, reframe, and find gentler ways of relating to yourself. 🌿
