Online therapy in Oregon, Washington and California

Good therapy shouldn't mean sitting in traffic or rearranging your week. With secure video sessions, you can talk from home or a quiet office anywhere in Oregon, Washington or California, from Salem and Bend to Seattle and San Francisco. I'm Paul Walsh, a licensed marriage and family therapist in all three states, and it's the same warm, practical work as my Portland office.

What I help with online

Everything I offer in person: derealization, grief, divorce, life transitions and anxiety. Many people find it easier to open up from their own space, and it saves the commute on a hard day.
