About Us

Primary Therapist

Bryce

Hi there! My name is Bryce Taylor. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Portland, OR. I work with individuals navigating the complexities of trauma, grief, or, significant life transitions. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of a traumatic experience, such as childhood abuse, sexual assault, or a traumatic loss. You could be dealing with feelings of estrangement or grappling with neurodivergence and may feel isolated, misunderstood, or, overwhelmed by your emotions. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and emotions and provide validation, understanding, and effective coping strategies to manage your symptoms.

I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, grief, and anxiety through a multi-modal approach that includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems, and Attachment Theory. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can explore your experiences and develop new coping strategies.

I understand how overwhelming it can feel to face life's challenges alone, and I'm here to support you in finding your way through. Together, we can create a path toward healing and growth that honors your unique experiences. If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to walk alongside you on this journey.

When I am not at work I enjoy spending my time making pizza at home, hanging out with my cats, camping, and playing pinball. I also volunteer at William Temple House as a clinical supervisor weekly. I love that I have the opportunity to provide therapy to those who are struggling, I show up everyday knowing this work matters, it is my passion.

Associate Therapist

Wes

Hello, my name is Wes Murph! If you want a supportive and easy-to-talk-to therapist, to help you achieve your values-based goals, we may be a good fit.

I help men, women and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem and relationship issues. I help parents build deeper connections with their children. I also help men resolve anger issues that may be interfering with their work and personal relationships.

I practice CBT, ACT and DBT. For clients who enjoy nature, I offer walk-and-talk therapy (aka ecotherapy) in Portland parks—blending movement, fresh air, and conversation that supports your mind and body. I also do teletherapy.

Before becoming a therapist, I owned two businesses—one was featured on The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan. I believe my background gives me a unique perspective into the pressure many of us face in our crazy-busy world.

I was a scholarship athlete at a Division I college. I’m also a father, husband, coach and lifelong learner.

I value family, health, growth, gratitude and authenticity. I believe humility is a superpower. And I strive to create a safe and collaborative space where you can grow.

If you feel we may be a good fit, email me and let’s schedule a 10 minute phone consultation. Thank you for getting to know me! If the stars align, maybe I’ll get to know you.
