Hello, I'm Rick Baumgartle, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon. I provide a safe and supportive space for adults navigating a range of challenges, with a particular focus on individuals struggling with sex and pornography addiction, alcohol and substance use issues and the impact these issues have on their lives and relationships

Work to help you stop putting energy into things you don't like (e.g. depression, anxiety, addiction, grief) and start putting that energy into things that actually matter to you.

Unconditional Positive Regard with no judgments on whatever it is you are going through.

I have a deep understanding of the experiences of people who grew up in dysfunctional environments and support individuals adjusting to life transitions and managing stress. I also specialize in working with people who deal with PTSD/Moral Injury issues including veterans and first responders.

I wanted to be able to help people make positive changes in their lives and realize their full potential

My therapeutic approach is focused around values and how to best get your life to line up with those values, and I am committed to helping you explore your experiences, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a more fulfilling life. I invite you to reach out for a confidential consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
