Meet WWC therapist Carmen Schwisow (she/her) โ€” a Portland-born clinician who has a special place in her heart for misfits, creatives, neurodivergent folks, and anyone who's ever felt "different." ๐Ÿ’›

Carmen's path to becoming a therapist wasn't linear (and that's exactly what makes her so good at what she does). She blends real-life experience, deep compassion, and a grounded approach to help adults in the greater Portland area find clarity, belonging, and a little more ease in their days.

๐ŸŒฟ Read Carmen's full story in the comments.

At Willamette Wellness Center, we believe healing extends beyond therapy โ€” it begins with connection, compassion, and community.

This November and December, WWC is dedicating the season to giving back. Our team is pairing with the West Linn Food Bank: https://www.facebook.com/Westlinnfoodpantry/ by hosting a food bank drive at our office and dropping donated food at West Linn Food Bank.

As a mental health organization, we know that wellness starts with having your basic needs met โ€” including access to food, safety, and support. Feeding and caring for our community is part of how we live our mission: to make healing accessible to everyone. ๐Ÿ’š

Food banks are experiencing record need this year, and the following items make a big difference: ๐Ÿฅซ Canned chicken, tuna, and beans ๐Ÿš Pasta, rice, cereal, and peanut butter ๐ŸŽ Canned fruits and vegetables (low-sodium or packed in juice) ๐Ÿฒ Canned soups, stews, and chili ๐Ÿง‚ Cooking basics like vegetable oil, flour, sugar, salt, spices, and powdered milk

Many boxed foods call for added ingredients that families may not have, so cooking oil and powdered milk are especially appreciated. ๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Fred Meyer's Kroger Brand offers powdered milk (3 ร— 3.2 oz pouches for $3.99) and vegetable oil (32 fl oz for $2.99 pictured here) โ€” small, affordable ways to make a big impact.

As we reflect on all we're thankful for this season โ€” our clients, clinicians, and community โ€” we're proud to stand together in service. ๐Ÿ’› Because when one person heals, it ripples outward โ€” feeding hope, connection, and care for all. ๐ŸŒฟ

Invisible illness is real.
The grief is real.
The exhaustion is real.

And the emotional toll? Even heavier than most people know.

This article, by WWC therapist Rose Walker, breaks down what chronic illness feels like from the inside โ€” and why support matters so much. Check the comments for the link.

Meet Paxton Wilkinson, one of our trauma-informed therapists who specializes in supporting teens, young adults, and adults through some of life's most overwhelming moments.

Paxton brings a rare mix of compassion, lived experience, and grounded presence. Teens love working with her โ€” she listens deeply, moves at their pace, and builds trust with warmth, consistency, and (sometimes!) a quick game of Uno.

She offers in-person sessions in Milwaukie and telehealth across Oregon, and is accepting new clients. ๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸŒฟ Ever feel like hope's just out of reach? ๐Ÿ’š

That's when therapist Rose Walker (she/her) steps in โ€” carrying that hope for you until you're ready to hold it again.

Her work with grief, trauma, and chronic illness reminds us that being truly seen can change everything.

Rose helps clients find calm through small daily practices like humming or gently acknowledging their emotions โ€” simple ways to bring the nervous system back to balance.
