Therapists for college students near Portland State University

What do you do when what everyone calls "the best years of your life' just aren't?? The transition from home to college is an exciting one, but one that brings with it many new experiences...leaving home (sometimes for the first time), living more independently, meeting a whole world of new people, and learning more about yourself...your strengths and weaknesses. As a college student you often face adversities such as a lack of stability, increased social and pressures, and a strong push towards academic hyper-achievement. Together with familial and social (media) pressure college students often experience changes in sleep, eating and energy patterns, irritability, a loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, and substance abuse. Knowing when you need support, and taking the initiative to actually get that help is an important first step in figuring things out. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, homesickness, finding your people or just trying to figure yourself out I hope that I can help.

Welcome to a space where your mental health and well-being are the top priority. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for understanding and addressing your unique psychological needs. My journey in tele-psychiatry has equipped me to expertly conduct psychiatric evaluations, ensuring that you receive personalized care tailored to your situation.

We believe what makes you different makes you wonderful, not wrong. Too many people spend their first therapy sessions teaching a well-meaning counselor the vocabulary of their own lives before they can even talk about what's actually going on. We started Love Let Out because everyone deserves a therapist who already speaks their language, and because we're committed to dismantling the systemic barriers that keep marginalized communities from getting care that actually fits them. We do this by building our practice around lived understanding, not just clinical training. Our clinicians come from the communities we serve, your life isn't theoretical to us. That means our approach is collaborative and culturally responsive from the first session: we're not assessing whether your relationship structure or identity is "the problem," we're helping you build a life and relationships that actually work for who you are. In practice, that looks like a team of licensed clinicians offering telehealth therapy across Texas, Oregon, and Washington, specializing in open/non-monogamous relationships and kink-affirming care, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, neurodivergence (ADHD/autism), and trauma and religious trauma recovery. We work with individuals, couples, and small groups/polycules, ages 15 and up.

Currently accepting new patients! I have experience treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and more. I am passionate about helping students find freedom in their mental health journey!

I am committed to providing a non-judgmental, supportive, and safe space to help you uncover the things that are getting in the way of your happiness and well-being. My style is a balance of warm, empathic listening and respectful challenging to promote your insight and personal growth. While I will help you understand the nature and origins of your concerns, I will also help you see and use your strengths and talents toward creating the life you want. Multicultural sensitivity is a central, guiding principle in my therapy practice, in the sense that I believe personal growth can best happen when we understand someone within the context of their culture, environment, and across multiple identities including but not limited to ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender and spirituality. I look forward to hearing from you!

My ideal client is motivated to improve their quality of life and may struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and grief/trauma related issues. They are interested in understanding themselves and cultivating healthy coping strategies to deal with the challenges of our modern world, with the ultimate goal of thriving, not just surviving. They understand that we all have the opportunity to continue growing and want to live a more self-expressed life by identifying and challenging negative and self-limiting thinking patterns. I compassionately support and validate my clients, while also encouraging them to take on the challenges in their life. I have significant experience with mindfulness practices and believe in the power of creativity (writing, music, art) as a therapeutic tool. Most people are settling for less than what their lives can possibly be. I am committed to helping you lead a self-expressed life and to help you see all the ways that you are a gift to yourself and others. I do not have all the answers, but I believe that together we can inspire each other and produce breakthroughs you may not think are possible.

Maybe you're exhausted from carrying stress and anxiety that never seems to let up. Maybe a difficult experience from your past still shows up in ways you didn't expect — in your relationships, your sleep, or your ability to feel safe in your own body. You don't have to keep white-knuckling your way through it. Whether you're navigating the lingering effects of trauma or PTSD, anxiety that won't quiet down, or a depression that's dimmed things you used to enjoy, you deserve a space where you can slow down, be honest, and actually start to heal — not just cope. I'm Tessa Love, LCSW, and I bring a warm, trauma-informed approach grounded in CBT, DBT, and somatic (body-based) techniques. I tailor every session to you — no cookie-cutter treatment plans, just collaborative, evidence-based care that meets you where you are. Ready to feel like yourself again? I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we're a good fit — no pressure, just a conversation. I see clients virtually throughout Washington and Oregon, with openings Tuesday through Friday. Call (425) 321-0337 x800 to get started.

Clients I work best with tend to be women grappling with some kind of trauma - abuse, sexual assault, divorce, family conflict, medical issues, growing up with emotionally immature parents, etc. I love empowering women to rediscover their voice, set boundaries, heal themselves, and start living the life they want to live, rather than the one they may feel forced into.
