Sometimes, the goal of therapy is figuring out just that - what is important to you. Other times, it is helpful to focus on specific issues. I specialize in helping people adjust to life changes: recognizing and changing unhealthy relationship patterns; transitioning through divorce, aging, or medical issues; understanding and navigating the process of dying and death; practicing mindfulness and emotional regulation; decreasing stress; recovering; and seeking spiritual or religious clarity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7f9d19d5867b7bafcc3be0/1625516680553-1T1JGAF7Z7MJE7P26NJ1/IMG_1461.JPG Psychotherapy - Couples Therapy People come to therapy for many different reasons. As a couples therapist (Gottman Method Levels I & II; plus specialty trainings), I do my best to meet the needs of the couple itself, which can be viewed as a unique 3rd entity that is created when two individuals join together. I have particular expertise in helping couples establish and maintain effective and assertive communication with each other and to resolve conflict (rather than avoid it) while using that process to fuel emotional connection with and trust in each other. There are some couples who present with issues for which couples therapy is contraindicated. If that is the case, I will work with you to find appropriate alternative support resources. I also provide Discernment Counseling. This is a short-term intervention designed to help couples resolve ambivalence about their relationship. It is very different from Couples Therapy. https://kathleengillis.com/parenting-plan-mediation daily 0.75 2021-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7f9d19d5867b7bafcc3be0/1632335808803-LEGFTX778H5JWXH64ZRE/Bridge.JPG Parenting Plan Mediation - Mediation As a trained mediator and experienced psychologist, I provide mediation services for parents who wish to develop or update their parenting plan. Through the process of mediation, I can help you identify common interests, and avoid negotiation pitfalls, such as: Identifying answers before agreeing on what the question is Focusing on positions instead of interests Trying to compromise (which often results in no one's needs getting met) A successful mediation yields an acceptable, reasonable, and durable parenting plan that addresses or resolves shared interests, and is tailored to your family's specific needs. Although I am not an attorney and I won't be able to answer legal questions, I can advise you about what does and does not tend to work well in parenting plans, the needs of children of various ages, etc.; and, I can draft your parenting plan so that it can easily be inserted into your divorce decree. https://kathleengillis.com/collaborative-divorce-1 daily 0.75 2021-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7f9d19d5867b7bafcc3be0/1625517599000-YWT106KGBQ69ZQUKZ4JH/IMG_0935.JPG Collaborative Divorce - Collaborative Divorce Collaborative Divorce allows families maintain ultimate control over the outcome of divorce. It provides a means for avoiding litigation without sacrificing individual legal advocacy. This results in a more durable and feasible parenting plan and divorce decree. Your Collaborative Divorce Team will work to meet your family’s unique short- and long-term needs. Within a Collaborative Divorce Team, I serve as a Child Specialist or Coach.

There are multiple options for navigating this complex and often overwhelming legal process. These options vary in their level of court involvement (from no court involvement to extensive and ongoing court involvement) and the level of control separating partners have in the outcome and ultimate judgment/court order. During consultation, we can discuss the pros and cons of various options, talk about whether to involve attorneys, and if so, how to best utilize your time with those professionals. Of course, I can also talk to you about your specific needs, and those of your children (if any). We can also discuss the components of a parenting plan and what tends to work best in the short- and long-term (both for you and for your children), and help you decide how to proceed in developing a durable and feasible plan that will be in your children’s best interest, and also take into account logistical and other factors that you are dealing with, as an individual. We also can discuss how to talk to the children about these things, and how to best proceed so that everyone is getting their needs met - the children and the parents, along with any other significant individuals in your lives, such as extended family, new partners, etc. Families I have worked with in the past have told me that this type of consultation saved them time and money in the long run, and also made the process much clearer and less emotionally taxing. If finances are an issue for you, I am happy to work with you on a payment plan if it turns out that your insurance does not cover fully the services I would be providing. https://kathleengillis.com/supervision daily 0.75 2024-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7f9d19d5867b7bafcc3be0/1625529415343-6UCVQXI2O9Z870H8SRRK/IMG_0916.JPG Supervision - Supervision I am able to provide formal supervision of psychologists for various forensic and clinical services, per the requirements of the Oregon Board of Psychology. Please contact me if you have been mandated to participate in such services. I am happy to help. https://kathleengillis.com/faqs daily 0.75 2026-03-06 https://kathleengillis.com/take-action daily 0.75 2021-06-17
