Bridget founded Bridge because she believes in transformation and that coping isn't enough. She built a $25M company, lobbied the legislature, and worked in 30+ countries before deciding real change happens in relationship. Bridget is an integrative therapist, certified mediator, and the founder of Bridge to Relationship. Before counseling full time, she co-founded and led a manufacturing startup from a garage to a global enterprise, ran a marketing firm, and worked as a lobbyist and a city communications director. That history is why she is impatient with therapy that only helps people cope: she has seen what people are capable of when the right conditions are in place. Her clinical work centers on three things. Talk-Free Therapy using the latest neuroscience in Memory Reconsolidation, often resolving painful memories in a handful of sessions. The Nurtured Heart Approach, in which she is a Certified Advanced Trainer, for transforming difficult family, parenting, and couple dynamics. And psychedelic-assisted therapy, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, for people ready for deeper work. She also brings rare depth in both women's and men's issues, shaped by doctoral study in international feminist studies and a master's in counseling and world religions. Bridget supervises and mentors the Bridge team and is building the practice's internship program. She is the parent of two young adults, has traveled to more than 30 countries, and brings presence, creativity, and bold-hearted strategy to everything she does.

Ali brings extensive experience in psychedelic integration, including four years supporting clients in ketamine-assisted therapy, to her work with individuals and couples navigating relationships, intimacy, personal growth, and meaningful change. Her approach is relational, experiential, somatic, and transpersonal. Ali's work is grounded in deep respect for the wisdom of each person's direct experience and their capacity to develop greater trust in their own inner knowing. She holds clinical frameworks as supportive maps rather than prescriptions, allowing each person's lived experience to remain at the center of the work. Her training draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Restoration Therapy, memory reconsolidation, and somatic, relational, and transpersonal approaches. Her practice creates space for exploring relational and attachment dynamics, developmental edges, lesser-known parts of ourselves, identity, existential questions, psychedelic integration, and spiritual development or emergence. Since 2021, Ali has worked as a Guide and Senior Integration Coach in ketamine-assisted therapy, supporting clients through preparation and integration and helping train other guides. Her background also includes training in holistic health coaching, yoga, and nearly two decades of creative and spiritual practice. She is a Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling Psychology intern at Naropa University.

Elise helps families feel less alone with ADHD. Raised by anthropologists and trained in sociology, she brings a systems lens and a decade of work with kids to family therapy. Raised by anthropologists and trained as a sociologist before turning to counseling, Elise sees people as inseparable from the relationships and systems around them, which makes family work feel like home. She has personal experience navigating ADHD within her own family and is passionate about helping parents and children feel supported, understood, and capable as they work through its complexities together. Elise's approach draws from person-centered, existential, mindfulness-based, and somatic work, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She believes growth is possible for everyone, that healing happens in relationship, and that building psychological flexibility helps us face the parts of life that feel unacceptable. Attachment theory runs through everything she does, shaped by years of watching how secure connection changes what a child can do. Before graduate school, Elise worked with children in nearly every capacity imaginable, from infant care to leading Montessori aftercare classrooms to mentoring middle schoolers. She is a Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling intern at Portland State University. When she's not working, you'll likely find her reading, baking, crafting, or petting her cat, Azula.

Hayley knows recovery means seeing the whole person. After eight years in eating disorder treatment, she specializes in recovery, body image, chronic illness, and medical trauma. Hayley brings eight years of experience in eating disorder treatment across residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care, from meal support and crisis de-escalation to leading a recovery coach team and facilitating DBT, CBT, ACT, and process groups. Over those years she noticed a pattern: many people struggling with an eating disorder were also facing substance use, yet the systems meant to help them addressed each issue separately. That gap is what drew her to specialize in addiction, and her goal is to offer integrated care that honors the full scope of a person's experience. She is particularly passionate about supporting people navigating eating disorders and recovery, body image concerns, chronic illness or disability, and medical trauma. Her work is grounded in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy AEDP, with an emphasis on self-understanding, emotional awareness, and present-moment experience. She believes every part of a person developed for a reason and deserves curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. Hayley is a Professional Mental Health Counseling intern with a specialization in Addiction at Lewis & Clark College. She earned her Bachelor's in Psychology from Portland State University, and is a Qualified Mental Health Associate (QMHA).

Kathy helps people come home to their bodies. For adults living with chronic pain, chronic illness, or trauma the mind alone can't resolve, she offers deep, unhurried, body-centered work. Kathy's approach is rooted in the Hakomi Method, a mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy, and in Re-Creation of the Self through M.E.T.A., with more than two years of training in each. She integrates parts work (IFS), AEDP, and Coherence Therapy, along with specialized training in Trauma-Sensitive Movement and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy for Chronic Pain. She is the right fit for adults who want experiential, body-centered therapy rather than talk alone: people navigating chronic pain and illness, long-held trauma, anxiety, and neurodivergence, and those drawn to a longer arc of self-study. Nature, ecology, and spirituality are welcome in the room. Kathy holds an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a somatic emphasis. Insightful, experiential, and grounded.

Michelle spent 20 years in neuroscience labs studying how the brain changes. Now she helps adults and couples do the deeper work, beyond talk therapy, that makes change real. Michelle spent two decades as a research associate and lab manager at Oregon Health & Science University, publishing in behavioral neuroscience, immunology, and cardiac research. That work grounds her deep respect for neuroplasticity: the brain's capacity to reshape itself through new experiences, relationships, and insight. She is drawn to clients who want more than talk, and she is trained in Memory Reconsolidation and Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Levels 1 and 2). Her approach is relational, attachment-based, and trauma-informed, with a strong feminist and social justice perspective and a commitment to LGBTQIA+ affirming care. Since 2020 she has worked at Rose Haven, a day shelter for women, children, and marginalized genders, supporting people through poverty, trauma, and loss, and she served as a Spanish-language interpreter on a medical mission to rural Bolivia. A native Portlander, silversmith, and mom of two college students, Michelle is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern at George Fox University. Compassionate and insight-oriented.

Sarah works with peopel who feel stuck in painful patterns they don’t fully understand, longing for greater self-compassion, connection, and hope. Her trauma-informed approach draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and somatic therapy. She works with individuals and couples to understand the patterns that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected and begin to shift the patterns that keep them from moving forward.

Taylor's calm was forged in children's psychiatric units. He's a natural fit for first-time therapy clients, ADHD and anxiety, and trans and nonbinary people who want care that affirms. Taylor spent years as a mental health specialist in child and adolescent psychiatric hospitals in Montana and Oregon, leading coping-skills and safety-planning groups and de-escalating crises for kids ages 5 to 17. Before that he was a behavioral technician supporting autistic youth, and before that a woodworker who ran a custom shop and managed a team. Steadiness is not a style he adopted; it's what he has built. He trained through Lewis & Clark's Transcendence Project, a specialized program for transgender and nonbinary clients, where he provides affirming counseling and writes referral letters for gender-affirming care. He is especially passionate about LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities and people healing from religious trauma, and he is a good first therapist: warm, collaborative, and unhurried with anyone who has never done this before. Taylor works with individuals, couples, and adolescents on anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity, and relationship patterns. He is a Professional Mental Health Counseling intern at Lewis & Clark College.

As a father, husband, coach, and lifelong learner, he values trust, humility, and transparency in every therapeutic relationship. Wes believes humility is a superpower and strives to create a safe, grounded, and collaborative space for growth.​​​​​​​​​​​

Passionate about making therapy accessible, Susan co-founded Seattle Therapy Alliance, a low-cost clinic for women, in 2009. Her work integrates trauma-informed care, relationship support, and innovative approaches to personal growth and healing.

C.M. helps men say what they were taught not to. A trauma specialist trained in EMDR, ART, and memory reconsolidation, he works with complex trauma and the grief and shame beneath it. C.M. is Bridge's deep-trauma specialist for adults. His work centers on complex and long-term trauma (CPTSD) and the nervous-system dysregulation that comes with it, using EMDR and Memory Reconsolidation alongside psychodynamic, existential, and Emotionally Focused approaches. Many clients arrive feeling stuck in recurring patterns, disconnected from themselves or others, or overwhelmed by grief, shame, anxiety, or self-doubt. His aim is to reduce distress while helping people reconnect with meaning, purpose, and their authentic selves. He has a particular interest in men's issues and in how systemic pressures shape what men are allowed to feel and say. That interest has philosophical roots: he holds honors degrees in both Psychology and Philosophy, with a thesis integrating Spinoza and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Before therapy, C.M. spent a decade as a bartender, learning rapport, rupture, and repair in real time, and he founded Cathexis Northwest Press, a poetry publisher he still runs. He holds a master's in Marriage, Couple and Family Counseling from Portland State University and is a Nationally Certified Counselor. Deep, grounded, trauma-specialized.

Erin knows what actually helps people get better. After years in healthcare and a published paper on pronatalism in therapy, she works with couples and with women navigating what's next. Erin is drawn to intimate relationships and to women navigating identity, transition, and life stage: divorce, infidelity, co-parenting, and parenthood or the decision not to pursue it. She is a Marriage and Family Therapy intern at Northwestern University, where she trained in Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST), a relational, multi-modal approach that considers the full biological, psychological, relational, and societal context of a person's life. She also draws on EFT, structural and systemic work, and a feminist lens, and is completing Level 1 certification in Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT). Before counseling, Erin spent years in healthcare with Eli Lilly, partnering with providers to improve patient outcomes, and earlier in student recruitment and academic advising. She co-authored a published article on pronatalism and the therapist's lens: how the cultural assumption that everyone should have children shows up in the therapy room, and how clinicians can check it. Erin works with adults, couples, families, and children. Warm, curious, integrative, and relaxed.

Hilary works with sensitive adults running on empty. Burnout, perfectionism, chronic stress, and the quiet complexity of midlife are her territory, approached nervous system first. Hilary is a somatic, trauma-informed therapist for adults who are highly sensitive, neurodivergent, or simply exhausted from holding it all together. Before therapy she worked as a photographer and a yoga teacher, then coached clients and emerging leaders at Lyra and BetterUp; she knows the high-functioning version of anxiety from the inside. Her toolkit is deep: Brainspotting (Levels 1 and 2), EMDR (Level 1), Rapid Trauma Processing, mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy, Hakomi-informed work, and EFT fundamentals. She is a strong match for people who want embodied, mindfulness-based individual work, and for anyone navigating chronic pain, trauma, life transitions, or relational and communication struggles.

Youngest of four, Shannon has always studied families. She works with couples and relationships of every structure through conflict, communication breakdowns, and the aftermath of affairs. Shannon's focus is relationship repair: couples and partners, including consensually non-monogamous relationships, who need help with communication, conflict resolution, recognizing the cycle they're in, and building a different one. She also works with families and adolescents navigating family conflict. She is direct in a way clients find relieving: warm, strengths-based, and honest about what she sees. She is trained in Integrative Systemic Therapy through Northwestern University's COAMFTE-accredited program, holds a Queer Adjusted Systemic Lens certificate, is a Nurtured Heart Approach Certified Practitioner, and has completed training in Memory Reconsolidation. Her clinical training emphasizes multicultural competence, cultural humility, and social justice.

She holds a BS in Psychology from the University of Iowa and is a Marriage and Family Therapy intern from Northwestern University.

Trevor set out to be an archaeologist. He still digs, now into the culture, history, and stories that shape anxiety, depression, and OCD, with warmth, mindfulness, and a little humor. Trevor studied anthropology and archaeology before finding his way to counseling, and that lens is still the foundation: he believes culture shapes our values, identities, and present-day experience, and he works comfortably with clients of any background, identity, or lifestyle. A decade of client-facing work and eight years running live and virtual events mean he is unflappable under pressure and completely at ease on telehealth. Trevor works one-on-one with adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, life adjustments, cultural issues, and relational trauma. He draws on mindfulness, narrative and Gestalt techniques, and solution-focused work, and with two years of experience leading yoga and mindfulness sessions, guided meditation and grounding are part of what he offers in the room, not just something he recommends. An advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, Trevor creates a space of validation, safety, and empathy with a welcoming, centered, and often funny presence. He is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern at George Fox University.

Che goes for the story underneath the story. Bilingual in Spanish and English, he works with individuals and couples, and men especially, on what lives beneath anger and shutdown. Che is drawn to depth work: not surface-level behavioral fixes, but the protective stories and survival strategies formed early that still govern how we move through the world. Grounded in psychodynamic insight, trauma-informed care, and existential philosophy, he pairs profound empathy with honest, loving challenge. He has a particular interest in men's issues, including how covert depression, suppressed grief, and childhood trauma show up as anger, emotional shutdown, or relationship distress. His path here was not direct. He earned a degree in political economy from The Evergreen State College, worked in the service industry for more than a decade, and interned on congressional campaigns before finding his way to direct human connection: as a peer recovery specialist supporting people in acute crisis, as a volunteer on the Fireside Project's psychedelic support line, and as a camp counselor for adults with disabilities. He offers therapy in English and Spanish. Che works with adults, couples, and young children and is a Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling intern at Portland State University. Thoughtful, curious, steady.

A salon chair taught Jenny how much we long to be seen. She works with ADHD adults, couples, and LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and non-monogamous folks who want a therapist who won't blink.

She learned that people show up wanting to be seen without judgment, and she built a room where they could be. She brings that steady, grounded, creative presence to therapy. She works with adults, young adults, and couples navigating ADHD and neurodivergence, trauma and stress patterns, attachment injuries, identity, relational conflict, co-parenting, and complex family histories. Her approach is relational and systemic, drawing on narrative therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and memory reconsolidation, in which she has completed training.

Former therapy skeptic, Lillie gets it if you're unsure. She works with teens and young adults on identity, breakups, and big feelings, after years advocating for kids in child welfare. Lillie's focus is late teens and emerging adults: the years of first breakups, identity exploration, figuring out family, and learning to regulate emotions that feel too big. She believes therapy should be collaborative and goal-focused, and she is drawn to narrative and relational-cultural approaches that treat clients as the experts on their own lives. She comes to counseling from three years as a legal advocate for children, adolescents, and parents in juvenile dependency cases, managing a caseload of 50 to 75 clients, conducting foster and reunified home visits, and speaking for kids in rooms full of adults. Before that she was a Registered Behavior Technician working with autistic children. She knows how systems can fail young people, and how much a single steady adult can matter. A self-described former therapy skeptic, Lillie understands how daunting a first appointment can be. She holds a BA in Psychology from Portland State University and is a Professional Mental Health Counseling intern at Lewis & Clark College, where she also serves as a graduate teaching assistant. Supportive, approachable, real.

What kept you safe now keeps you apart. Morgan works with couples, estranged families, adult siblings, and chosen family on the protective patterns that get in the way of closeness. Morgan's specialty is relationships in all their forms: couples, including mixed-neurotype and LGBTQIA+ couples; adult parents and children; siblings; friends; and chosen family. She is especially drawn to family estrangement and family dysfunction, and to the early attachment injuries and childhood trauma underneath them. She helps people identify the protective and survival patterns that once made perfect sense and now create obstacles to trust and closeness. Her approach is emotionally focused, attachment-based, IFS-informed, and trauma-informed somatic, and she is trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (Levels 1 and 2, with Level 3 underway). Non-pathologizing, warm, and direct. Before counseling, Morgan spent years as a trauma-informed coach helping people navigate survival strategies and relationship patterns that no longer served them.

Tulia learned attunement in families' hardest moments. Years of in-home work with autistic kids and teens shaped how she meets individuals, couples, and families now. Tulia spent several years as a Registered Behavior Technician providing in-home therapy for children and teens with autism and FASD, using assent-focused, play-based, and child-led approaches. She worked side by side with parents on routines and goals, and supported teens through severe distress. That work gave her a lived understanding of complex family dynamics, emotional regulation, and crisis response that most emerging therapists don't have yet. As a marriage and family therapist, she works from a systemic, strengths-based lens and is drawn to Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and somatic approaches. She is a natural fit for families with a neurodivergent child, parents who feel worn down, and couples and individuals who want a therapist who stays calm in hard moments.
