Speak your mind, hear your self

Individual Psychotherapy

Few are the opportunities in modern life to turn inward and ask the important questions. 


Psychotherapy is one such opportunity. It provides a crucial space to identify and transform our suffering into greater openness and appreciation for ourselves and others.


I offer once and twice weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy to teens, adults, and elders. If you are seeking relief from emotional distress or troubling symptoms, or simply desire a deeper awareness of your self and your mind, I want to hold space for your exploration.

My practice is based in open-ended speaking and listening. In a protected, non-judgmental setting, we surface unconscious patterns of relating to self and other. This affords the opportunity to work through these patterns, deeply feel their affects, and create more choice in how to embody your own history. You can read more about psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy here. I also recommend this article about the amount of time effective therapy takes, according to a number of studies.

About ME

Emaline Friedman, PHD, LPCA

I am a registered associate psychotherapist in the state of Oregon (R8129) under the supervision of Sarah Baird, PsyD (2094). I grew up in the greater Los Angeles area, and have lived abroad and in rural Georgia for a number of years before setting down roots in Portland. 


For as long as I can remember, I have harbored an interest in the transformation of emotional and physical pain. A lover of language, history, and self-expression, I earned degrees in philosophy and psychology, including a doctorate from the University of West Georgia.


My dissertation looks at the Internet as a social and cultural engine for upending our speech, altering our relationship to needs and their satisfaction, and re-defining the meaning of 'community'.
