Mindful Oregon Clinic

Dr. Shirin Yekekar, LCSW, EMDR
In my practice, I provide compassionate and holistic mental health care tailored to your unique needs. With expertise in a wide range of therapeutic interventions, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Informed Therapy, Mindfulness, always adapting the process to fit what feels most helpful for you.
About Me:
I see therapy as a place where healing happens through connection, honesty, and courage. My goal is to create a space where you feel both supported and challenged — a balance that allows real change to take root. I draw from EMDR, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, always adapting the process to fit what feels most helpful for you.
Along the way, I bring together knowledge from both clinical practice and research, blending proven methods with a deep understanding of the human experience. This means our work will be grounded in evidence while also responsive to your unique story and needs.
I often work with individuals moving through trauma, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions, as well as with couples and families who want to build stronger, more connected relationships.
I accept both state and commercial insurance and would be glad to support you whenever you feel ready.
