About Craig
Craig Parton is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Oregon who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. He creates a calm, compassionate space where clients can talk about painful feelings and repeated patterns. He invites curiosity and clear, direct conversation to help people notice what they do and why they do it.
Craig uses a body-centered way of working that links thoughts and emotions to physical sensations. He often guides gentle mindfulness and body-awareness practices to help clients recognize how stress shows up in their bodies. That awareness then becomes a tool for changing unhelpful habits and making different choices.
Sessions focus on practical exploration and honest feedback. Craig asks questions to uncover underlying beliefs and wounded places that keep problems cycling. He also works with issues such as panic, post-traumatic stress, process and sex-related addictions, and struggles tied to sexuality and prejudice.
He aims to help people build more self-compassion and stronger daily habits. Therapy can include looking at intimacy, unwanted behaviors, or grief that hasn’t been fully acknowledged. Most work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
With about 15 years of experience, Craig brings steady curiosity and approachable guidance to the room. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and can expect straightforward, somatic-informed conversation about next steps.
