Katrina Liukko, LPC - Lead Therapist

I identify as a midlife, biracial, neurodivergent, hetero, coupled, childfree, vegan, cis female. I am passionate about helping late-diagnosed ADHD adults find self-understanding, self-acceptance, and stability. My clients often come in with needs related to anxiety, depression, self-worth, shame, perfectionism, or trauma. We work together to move past “survival mode,” and into growing, thriving, and wholeheartedly living.

I engage in a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy that is based on the belief that all of us have the innate power to find the best solutions for ourselves, make positive changes in our lives, and attain our fullest potential. I integrate elements of positive psychology, strengths-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), transpersonal therapy, and feminist therapy. I use a warm, empathetic, humorous, and holistic style that involves exploring mind, body, and spirit to gently guide healing, facilitate perceptual shifts, expand personal awareness, and support alignment with one’s most authentic self.

When my therapist hat is off you can find me enjoying my partner’s company, hiking in the forest, reading, listening to self-growth audiobooks, diving down research rabbit holes, exploring Portland parks, making mixed media art, snuggling with my goofball rescue cats, hanging out with chosen family, or diving into a Netflix binge.
