Our Team
Rachel Gordon, LPC
Hi there! My name is Rachel, and I have a deep passion for supporting children and their families through challenging circumstances and experiences and creating a world that values children for who they are in the present. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon as well as a National Board Certified Counselor. My approach to counseling is grounded in the theory, skills and interventions founded in the evidence-based approach of CCPT (Child-Centered Play Therapy) which begins by recognizing each child as a whole being whose needs and experiences vary widely based on a myriad of circumstances such as race, gender, class, belief systems, disability and trauma.
I enjoy working with children ages 3-10 and collaborating with their families to find ways of supporting their child in school and in the home.
My specialties include anxiety, depression, emotion regulation & expression, social skills, gender exploration, neuro-diversity, trauma and grief.

Katherine Lindsay, CSWA, CADCI
I work with children, teens, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, substance use, and major life transitions. My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and creative, and I view therapy as a process that should feel approachable, supportive, and free from judgment.
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches including DBT, CBT, ACT, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and attachment-focused therapy. I also enjoy incorporating expressive arts and experiential approaches into sessions, particularly with teens and young adults. This may include watercolor, painting, clay, or other creative activities that make processing difficult experiences feel more accessible and less overwhelming. When appropriate, I also incorporate animal-assisted interventions and therapy animals into my work.
I have worked in behavioral health since 2014 and have experience across mental health, substance use treatment, crisis intervention, and community-based care. I hold a Master of Social Work from Portland State University School of Social Work and a Master of Public Health from New York University. I am a Certified Trauma Professional, a CADC I in the state of Oregon, an Animal-Assisted Intervention Professional, and have additional training in working with first responders.
