About Me
I am Shoshana Weed, Licensed Professional Counselor and Oregon Professional School Counselor. I have been serving youth and families in the mental health field for 15 years. I am a neurodiversity-affirming, queer-affirming therapist committed to practicing anti-racism personally and professionally. My approach to counseling is rooted in neuroscience and polyvagal theory, attachment theory, and a systems perspective.
I am certified in Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and as a Positive Discipline parent educator. I have served as a clinical supervisor for masters-level Counseling Interns. As a School Counselor, I had the opportunity to provide staff trainings on topics including trauma-informed practices, de-escalation, conflict resolution, family engagement, interrupting hate speech. I regularly consult with professionals in my field to sharpen my skills and provide high-quality care to my clients.
In my spare time, I can be found playing with my two amazing kids, hiking, rock climbing, or brainstorming ways to support our public school system—because community health and mental health go hand-in-hand.
