Welcome. I’m happy to see you here.

Phil Freneau, PCA

Professional Counselor Associate

I am Phil, a registered associate counselor.

Hello, I am a registered associate counselor with my MA in clinical mental health counseling and I am working toward becoming a licensed professional counselor in the state of Oregon. I have experience working with adults dealing with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, emotion regulation, social concerns, relationship issues, life transitions, hearing or seeing things that aren’t their trauma, and paranoia. I also enjoy collaborating with clients to find balance in areas of their lives and working toward building a life that the client feels is meaningful and worth living.

Some of the types of therapy I utilize include humanistic, existential, dialectical behavior, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapies. My process involves connecting you to the approach(es) that will be the most effective in accomplishing your goals by describing the possible options and utilizing your insight into which intervention(s) are best suited for you.

What can I expect if I come to see you?

The foundation of my counseling philosophy is to facilitate an environment where you don’t feel judged and do feel heard, understood, respected and accepted as you process thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and emotions. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to move forward to schedule an initial appointment.

It’s important to find a therapist that’s a good fit. Here’s what you can expect if you come to see me!

Initially, we will meet to discuss your concerns and ensure that I am a good fit for your needs. We will go through the presenting issues and develop a treatment plan that meets your and your family’s needs. For young children, I will meet with the parents individually at first. I enjoy using humor and playfulness to create a relaxed environment.
