Our specialty is in the provision of therapy, evaluation, training, and consultation services. Our clients value the quality of our personalized services and our passion for our work.

We provide services to a wide range of people, from age 14 to Seniors, and we accept most insurance or private pay arrangements. Call or email us - we will get you an appointment right away. ​

OUR PSYCHOLOGISTS

Sherry L. Harden
Psy.D., ABPP, CTM
Licensed Psychologist
Board Certified in Police & Public Safety Psychology

In practice for 29 years, I began specializing in services to First Responders and Public Safety Agencies in 1998, after graduating from George Fox University. I graduated from WCSO Reserve Academy the same year I was licensed as a psychologist in Oregon (2000) and continue as a Special Deputy as the Team Psychologist for the WCSO CNU.

I provide evaluations, therapy, consultation, and training for (primarily) public safety individuals, families, and organizations. I also provide supervision for Psychologist Residents and students. I've had the opportunity to attend FBI Negotiator school in Quantico (2000), conduct evaluations in Antarctica (2004), and present research in Singapore (2016). Another highlight was serving alongside other psychologists in Rwanda in 2011, learning and exchanging information about healing from community trauma in the aftermath of genocide. My current passion involves research and training in ethics, ethical failures and their causes, and the effects of trauma on first responders' decision-making and emotional health.

Born and raised a Hoosier, an interpersonal, direct, and practical approach comes naturally to me. I integrate psychodynamic, cognitive, and family systems theories into my approach to therapy. I first moved to the Northwest in 1979, then Oregon in 1984. I enjoy horseback riding, art, animals, and music.

Christina Weiss, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist

Let’s face it. Finding a therapist is a daunting task! There are so many variables to consider and it can be hard to know where to even start. In hope of making this process a little easier for you, let me take a few minutes to tell you about myself and how I practice. Life and experience have repeatedly shown me that the therapeutic relationship is instrumental for change and healing. As a result, I work to create an atmosphere in which each person feels safe and understood. Life has a way of wearing us down, and while we do the very best we can to get through, we can’t always do it on our own. My hope is to create an environment in which you feel supported and empowered on your journey. You are the only expert in you, and I am here to support your process of growth and healing, while equipping you with the tools to be successful. The process of therapy is sacred and one I take very seriously, but I also think it is important to have some fun and share a few laughs! Life is hard enough as it is!

 

I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings ranging from educational (elementary school through university) to teaching hospitals, and I have learned to work with a diverse array of populations and presenting concerns. My specialties include working with those struggling with chronic depression as well as individuals training to work in helping professions.

 

I enjoy working with anyone who is eager to know themselves better and grow into the person they want to become. So if this sounds like it might be a good fit, let me know! I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
