"𝐈 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲."
If that sounds familiar, narrative therapy might be for you.

Meet 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐂𝐖𝐒𝐀 — a Portland-based therapist who helps adults and teens rewrite the stories that keep them feeling trapped, anxious, or disconnected.

Before becoming a clinical social worker, Lucas worked as a massage therapist—learning firsthand how deeply our stories live in both mind and body. Today, they bring that same presence and intuition into every session, blending talk therapy with embodied awareness.

Lucas's approach is warm, curious, and affirming—especially for those navigating trauma, identity, and self-worth. Sessions become a space to explore, reframe, and find gentler ways of relating to yourself. 🌿

✨ Every person carries a story. Together, you and Lucas can begin to write a new chapter—one rooted in compassion, courage, and hope.

✨ Evidence-based
✨ Non-judgmental, parts-based approach

Valentine's Day can bring up a lot in a relationship — and it's not always the sweet, rom-com kind.

Sometimes it highlights distance instead of closeness. Sometimes it triggers grief, resentment, or a quiet worry that something important isn't working the way it used to. And when life already feels heavy—uncertainty, stress, and a general sense of instability—relationships often bear the brunt of it first.

If conversations keep going in circles, conflict escalates faster than it used to, or you feel emotionally farther apart (even when you're trying)… you're not failing. You're human.

At Willamette Wellness Center, we help couples slow things down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and rebuild connection with care and clarity — through couples therapy (Gottman + EFT), s*x therapy, and identity-affirming support.

Many women have been taught to minimize what they want — to stay quiet, to settle, to call "fine" good enough.

But your needs matter. Your comfort matters. Your pleasure matters.

If this topic feels tender, confusing, or hard to talk about… you're not alone. You don't have to figure it out on your own.

For support with intimacy, desire, or communication, contact our team or book a session. Check the comments for our new client form.

These stats can be validating — and frustrating. They show something important: pleasure isn't just about desire or effort. It's shaped by context, safety, stress, education, and communication.

If you've been blaming yourself, you're not alone — and you're not "broken."

💬 If you want support around intimacy, desire, or relationship communication, we're here.

The mental load is real. When one partner becomes the default manager of the household, intimacy often takes a hit — not because love is gone, but because exhaustion and resentment pile up.

Equity isn't romantic… but it's one of the most underrated relationship tools.
Shared responsibility can create more safety, more ease, and more closeness.

If you and your partner feel stuck in this loop, couples therapy can help.

Ever feel like your body reacts before your mind can catch up?

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain and nervous system finally process experiences that never fully resolved — so the past stops hijacking the present.

✨ You stay grounded and in control
✨ It doesn't require retelling every detail
✨ It's covered by insurance in Oregon & Washington
✨ Offered in-person in Milwaukie or virtually statewide

If talk therapy hasn't quite reached what your body is holding onto, EMDR may be worth exploring.

Meet Nafisha Tabassum, LPCA
Healing from trauma isn't always linear — it's layered. Like a canvas, it can take time, color, and care to create something new.

Nafisha is a South Asian therapist, Dallas raised and now Portland based, who offers a grounded, collaborative space for clients navigating trauma, grief, and PTSD. Her work is guided by curiosity about the mind + nervous system — and a gentle belief that therapy doesn't always have to start with words.

Some days we talk. Some days we use creative tools to help you feel steady and safe. Always at your pace.

If you've been carrying too much for too long, you don't have to do it alone.

Worried that insurance might be a barrier to starting therapy?
At Willamette Wellness Center, we work with most major insurance plans to make mental health care more accessible.

We accept Oregon Health Plan (OHP) plans and many commercial insurance plans, so getting support doesn't have to mean navigating it alone or paying out-of-pocket when you don't need to.

With 45 full-time clinicians, we offer:
• In-person therapy at our Milwaukie, OR office
• Telehealth throughout Oregon & Washington
• Immediate appointment availability

If you're unsure whether your plan is covered, our intake team will help verify your benefits and walk you through next steps.

Healing should feel possible — not complicated.
