About
As a queer-identified woman of Native American ethnicity, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and intersectionality.
I am a dedicated practitioner providing compassionate and expert mental health care to individuals across Oregon. I offer individual therapy and medication management supporting adolescents and adults in navigating their mental health challenges. I specialize in treating ADHD, mood disorders, and gender-affirming care. I also have extensive experience addressing PTSD and trauma-related disorders. My passion for working with clients in addiction medicine has been impactful in my 11 years of professional experience.
With a patient-centered approach, I collaborate closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that promote long-term well-being. I work with individuals to process past experiences and build resilience. I support individuals with complex needs including psychosis and schizophrenia.
By integrating my clinical expertise with a warm, empathetic approach, I empower clients to gain stability and lead fulfilling lives. I understand the profound impact mental health challenges can have on daily life, and I work diligently to ensure all clients feel seen, heard, and supported.

I am a trauma‑informed LPC, QMHP‑C who shows up with warmth, steadiness, and genuine care, inviting you into a space where you can slow down, feel truly seen, and make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels safe and human — an approach shaped by years of walking alongside people in moments of transition, vulnerability, and growth.
I'm Leah Perkins, an LPC, QMHP‑C with experience in community mental health, residential care, and reentry support. I work with adults navigating trauma, overwhelm, and major life transitions, offering a steady, compassionate space where they can reconnect with their strengths, rediscover what’s possible, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, hopeful, and aligned with who they want to be.
I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT skills to help clients build clarity, resilience, and self‑trust. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, focusing on grounding, healing old patterns, and creating meaningful shifts that support a more connected, empowered life.
You deserve a life that feels vibrant, meaningful, and full of possibility. If you’re ready to step into your strength and move toward the future you’ve been hoping for, I’d be honored to walk beside you as you grow, heal, and create the life that feels right for you.

As a person who has experienced addiction, depression, and trauma/loss, I understand the complexities of navigating internal and external challenges when attempting to achieve goals and maintain quality of life. I am committed to helping others build resiliency and achieve their goals.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the complexities—and often confusion associated with—anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and other challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to clearly define goals and a supportive environment aimed at achieving sustainable change.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Portland State University. My clinical approach is client-centered and often grounded in narrative therapy to identify and externalize problems. Through the use of motivational interviewing, stages of change, and cognitive-behavioral modalities, I help clients build a realistic plan to achieve goals.
I understand what it's like to live with personal struggles and try to manage them on your own. Shame, stigma, and societal pressures often prevent people from accepting help. It takes courage and humility to confide in another about our own emotions. I encourage you to schedule an appointment to discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals.

As someone with lived experience with mental health issues, I believe that recovery is always possible.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience supporting individuals facing addiction, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. I have worked in hospital settings, community mental health, and crisis environments, providing care to individuals experiencing acute mental health and substance use challenges. My work is grounded in creating a supportive, respectful space where clients feel safe to share openly and honestly.
I have a master’s degree in community counseling from Fort Hays State University. My approach is strengths-based and individualized, allowing me to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. I focus on identifying personal strengths and building skills that support long-term recovery and emotional well-being.
I am committed to helping you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change. Together, we will identify your goals and develop practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence. I look forward to supporting you as you begin or continue your journey toward healing and a more fulfilling future.

In my career I have learned there is no place for judgment in therapy. In order to build a balanced life, the focus needs to be on building on strengths, making observations, describing the issues, and exploring alternatives.
I'm Gail A. Wright, LCSW, and I have practiced nonjudgmental, evidence-based psychotherapy to guide others in increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance. I work with adults facing life changes, emotional regulation (anxiety and depression), grief and loss, and relationship challenges. I focus on identifying and building strengths, and on observing, describing, and exploring options with curiosity and willingness to test them out. Evidence-based modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
I encourage clients to be realistic about self-care and self-awareness, and to be open to exploring coping and grounding skills, as well as alternatives to behavior practices that are not helping them achieve their desired outcomes or goals.
If you are interested in trying new strategies to bring balance to your life, I would be honored to work with you and help you achieve your goals.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Medford, OR is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
