GENUINE THERAPY

Hi.  I am Theresa Ferrante, a mental health therapist in Portland, Oregon, and owner of Genuine Therapy. 


I started this private practice to support individuals and couples who want to create meaningful changes in their lives. I help people understand themselves better, heal from past hurts, improve important relationships, and navigate life's difficulties more effectively.   

Does this sound appealing?  Perhaps easier said (or read) than done?  

I get it. Even the thought of change can seem daunting at times.  

I know the therapeutic journey can feel complicated and paradoxical: exhausting and exciting; confusing and clarifying; intimidating and inspiring. Whatever your experience in therapy, I am here to support you along the way.    

My approach is often described as warm and authentic, which is part of what inspired me to include “genuine” in the name my business. Plus, I value staying true to evidence-based treatment models.  When someone is suffering, I want to help them heal as effectively and efficiently as possible, based on the best scientific knowledge available to me.


If this kind of genuine therapy sounds like a good fit for you, please get in touch. 

I look forward to hearing from you.
