Portland Trauma Therapy for Adults and Couples

Portland Trauma Therapist--Stuart Malkin, MS, LPC
Stuart Malkin, MS, LPC

As a Portland trauma therapist, I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in people-pleasing, unsure how to express their needs, or disconnected from their own voice in relationships. You may notice yourself prioritizing others, second-guessing your instincts, or struggling to feel secure and understood. Over time, these patterns can lead to burnout, resentment, or a quiet sense that you are living smaller than you want to. Many of these coping strategies developed for good reasons earlier in life to help you get through. My role is to help you understand and shift those patterns.

My work is especially supportive for adults navigating:

  • Childhood, complex, or recent trauma
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Relationship strain and communication challenges
  • Self-esteem and identity concerns
  • Creative blocks
  • Burnout or spiritual exhaustion
