Welcome to CUTI
Hey, I'm Eric. I created Columbia United Therapy Institute in order to bring therapy options to individuals who have found making time for healing and growing a challenge. My passion for the therapeutic process is rooted in my belief that you deserve to be your best self. What's that? Imagine yourself free from dependence. Your anxiety, joy, zest, and self perception, untethered from any outcome. Imagine changing only one thing, and changing everything
Columbia United Therapy Institute
My philosophy
Providing therapy services for individuals, couples and families is my passion. Therapy has the ability to open untapped spaces and possibilities in your life, and help you achieve freedom and potential. Every human deserves joy, happiness, and a place where they can tell the unfiltered truth to another human being, and be heard, respected, loved unconditionally, and understood. Let's help you access you're best self!
I graduated from Bushnell University in 2022 with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Currently I am a professional counselor associate as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC III), and Master Addictions Counselor (MAC). I have worked in the residential treatment of substance use disorders since 2016 and continue to serve this population.
My passion for counseling is informed, in-part by a personal journey of pain, struggle, and walking that line between life and hopelessness. This is a line I feel honored to walk with clients.
I use every modality you and I can think of, with a firm foundation in person-centered, always loving and validating therapy. I specialize in young-adult populations (14-30), Substance Use Disorders, and treating trauma.
Call or schedule an initial meeting, and we'll figure out if it's a fit. Oregon is full of great therapists, so if you're not feeling it, no problem, I'm, happy to help offer referrals :)
