Introspections/My Therapist Said is the
private therapy and counseling practice of Dr.
Jamie Pettus, based in Portland, OR. Why
"Introspections", you might ask? My idea for
the name of my therapy practice came from
the knowledge that there can be no real
growth without looking inward. Socrates said
it best, I think, when he said, "The
unexamined life is not worth living".
It is my hope that you're here because you
want your life to be different in some
way...because what worked for you in the past
isn't working now. One of the great things
about therapy/counseling is that you get to
talk to this person who isn't going to judge
you, and isn't affected by what you do or
don't do. And I can be much more objective
since I'm not involved. I also bring a lot of
experience and education to the table, which
gives me a broader perspective. I think YOU
have many of your answers within you...you
just need a little help finding them. That's
where I come in.
My focus (and my passion) is with the LGBT
population, though I certainly don't limit my
work to 'family'! I work with all kinds of
people from all walks of life and with all kinds
of life challenges. Whether you're interested
in individual counseling or couples counseling,
I'd consider it an honor to work with you. My
mission is to provide quality therapy at an
affordable fee.
(By the way...if you're wondering why my
website URL is 'mytherapistsaid', it's a
tongue-in-cheek reference to the way people
in therapy sometimes tell their friends, 'well,
my therapist said...!")
