Jeff Guenther, LPC

At Portland Therapy Center, our goal is to provide affordable and professional mental health services to the community. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality therapy, regardless of their financial situation. Our practice is built on the idea that everyone should have the opportunity to achieve mental wellness and live a fulfilling life.

Our Services

We offer two types of therapy: individual therapy and couples counseling. As a licensed therapist, I work with clients to identify and address the underlying causes of their mental illness. Through therapy, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, behaviors, and thoughts, and develop coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

At Portland Therapy Center, we specialize in treating a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, codependency, seasonal affective disorder, grief and loss, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We also provide therapy for individuals struggling with relationship issues, as well as couples seeking to improve their relationship dynamics.

My Therapeutic Approach

As a therapist, I believe in taking a holistic approach to mental health. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive, and mindfulness therapies to help individuals understand the underlying factors contributing to their mental illness. I also incorporate narrative therapy to help individuals develop a new, healthy perspective on their past and current experiences.

About Me

I, Jeff Guenther, LPC, am a licensed professional counselor with a strong background in family and couples work. I have a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Southern California and a bachelor's degree in child and family development from San Diego State University. Prior to opening my private practice, I worked in the public school system providing individual, group, and family therapy to high-risk students. I also taught parenting classes and worked at a crisis line in Portland, where I helped individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts and severe anxiety.

My Approach to Therapy

As your therapist, I believe in empowering individuals to take control of their mental health and well-being. Through therapy, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop the skills and strategies needed to achieve a balanced and fulfilling life.
