THERAPIST, CLINICAL DIRECTOR

Sabrina Hadeed, PHD, LPC

(she, her) Not accepting new clients

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, coach, professor, and supervisor with over 20 years of experience working across crisis care, family systems, group therapy, and private practice settings. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and a master’s degree in Existential Psychology.

My work is grounded in systems theory, relational and attachment-based approaches, and somatic perspectives that attend to the mind–body connection. I integrate trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and experiential methods to support meaningful, sustainable change.

I believe distress and healing both happen in relationship. Much of my work focuses on creating attuned, collaborative spaces where individuals, couples, and families can understand patterns, repair connection, and develop a more grounded relationship with themselves and others.

I am also deeply committed to practicing through a social justice and equity-informed lens. This means attending to the ways power, culture, gender, identity, and systemic pressures shape mental health. It means questioning outdated models that place blame on individuals while ignoring the contexts they live within. And it means actively working to create spaces where people of all identities, relationship structures, and lived experiences are respected and affirmed.

In addition to clinical work, I’ve spent more than a decade supporting the next generation of therapists as a clinical supervisor and professor in graduate programs in clinical mental health and addiction. My supervision is informed by feminist theory and a social justice advocacy framework, with careful attention to power, context, ethics, and sustainability in clinical practice.

My path into this work wasn’t built on credentials alone—it was also forged in the fires of lived experience. Systems Centered Wellness reflects my vision for care that is relational, ethically grounded, and responsive to the complexity of modern life—care that supports both the people seeking help and the clinicians providing it.

Working with Adults and Couples

I'm a professional counselor associate, physicist, and musician — someone who came to the work of healing through a few unexpected doors, and who believes that background makes me a more curious and adaptive collaborator.

I hold a BS in Physics and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and my clinical approach is grounded in experiential and attachment-based therapies, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and Coherence Therapy. These modalities share a common thread: the understanding that much of our suffering is not a character flaw, but a learned response — emotional patterns that once made sense and now hold us back.

I also have training and research experience in psychedelic-assisted therapy within Oregon's legal framework, and I regularly facilitate psychedelic integration groups for people navigating that process. I believe these experiences, when supported well, can open real doors to healing.

"Human-ing" can be hard. It can also be simple, easeful, and even exquisite — but so often we find ourselves caught in patterns we didn't choose, constrained by forces that are real but difficult to name. Surviving, but not quite thriving. I think of these as tangles in the neural networks of how we've learned to be in the world — and I believe untangling them is entirely possible. My work is to sit with you in that process, with curiosity and compassion, and explore what emotional learnings might be ready to shift so that more of who you truly are can come forward.

I am an LGBTGEQIAP+ ally, and I hold awareness of my own unearned privilege as a white, cisgender, heterosexual man. I am committed to practicing in ways that acknowledge how power, marginalization, and systemic forces shape the lives and wellbeing of so many people I have the honor of working with.

(he, they) Now accepting clients! Session fee sliding scale

I am a graduate student intern pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at OSU Cascades. My journey to becoming a counselor has been deeply informed by my own lifepath navigating relationships, community and systems as a white, queer, able-bodied, transmasculine human. I bring a warm, curious and attuned presence into the counseling room.

I believe at the core of each of us is a compassionate and creative Self with innate wisdom of what we need for wellness. By building awareness of the bodymind, clients may feel better equipped to deepen their relationship with Self and heal the parts of them that have been hurt. But just as harm doesn’t happen alone, neither does healing. I utilize the therapeutic relationship as a space to explore what matters to clients at their own pace. We do not have to go it alone.

I also support clients in identifying how systems of oppression—including colonialism, patriarchy, racism, cisheterosexism, ableism, classism, ageism and structural fatphobia—have influenced their stories and experiences. Clients of all identities are welcome, and I am Kink, Poly and Neurodivergent affirming.

I am informed by IFS, Somatic Experiencing, attachment, mindfulness and the wisdom of nervous systems. I also draw on existential and relational-cultural theories. I aim to practice cultural humility and honor multiculturalism throughout my work.

Works with adults, couples, teens and middle school aged kiddos 10+

Hi there—my preferred name is Shep, and I use they/them pronouns. I am a white queer graduate student intern pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Prescott College with a focus in relational work (couples therapy for any relational structure).

I also specialize in working with sexuality, kink, and intimacy challenges, non-conventional relationship structures, chronic pain, invisible disabilities, and creative interventions for feeling stuck. I believe healing at its best bridges bringing voice to our experience with embodied and experiential practice.

In our work together, we won’t just talk about what’s happening; we’ll actively engage with it. That may include building concrete skills, working with the nervous system, goal-oriented mapping, or using creative and embodied practices (like drawing and moving) to help shift how things are held in both mind and body.

I work from a parts-informed, somatic, and relational lens, meaning we pay attention not just to thoughts and insight, but also to nervous system patterns, bodily sensations, relational dynamics, and the different “parts” of self that show up in conflict or distress.

My work is deeply informed by over a decade of experience in queer, kink, and non-monogamous communities, and just as many years navigating chronic illness. These experiences have cultivated my passion for helping others whose experiences have been misunderstood or marginalized, recognizing that each person has a unique intersectionality of experience, shaped by context, privilege, oppression, and relationships.

I have additional training in Somatic-Concentric Sex Therapy, Internal Family Systems: Intimacy from the Inside Out, Gottman's Couples Therapy Level 1, Non-violent Communication, and Freedom from Chronic Pain, as well as a B.S. in Sustainable Design.
