Caroline
Adair
Mental Health Intern

Hello and welcome! I'm Caroline. I'm a counseling intern pursuing my Licensed Professional Counselor credential. Born and raised in California, I moved to El Salvador following my undergraduate study to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I then journeyed to Upstate New York for graduate school, and I now hang my hat in beautiful Portland, Oregon.

​

I work with adults in individual and relational settings. I offer individual counseling for concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, personal and sexual identity, and post-trauma. My relational approach is primarily trauma-informed, strengths-based, person-centered and cognitive behavioral while embracing somatic theory, parts work and systems approaches. I tailor treatment to each client’s needs.

​

My role is to assist you in reaching your goals by providing nonjudgmental support and helping to facilitate your journey, whatever form it may take. I strive to empower you and assist you in expanding healthy awareness, rather than to give you advice. My philosophy is rooted in empathy, embracing of neuroscience, and guided by a belief in collaboration and the importance of meeting people where they are.

​

Outside of counseling, I'm also a passionate cook, writer, and genealogy nerd. I enjoy good food, reading, live music, and I am over the moon joyful to simply spend time around the people with whom I'm closest.
