About Jared
Dr. Jared Gorfinkel is an Oregon psychologist who helps people facing depression, grief, anxiety, and stress. They also support people working through relationship strain, family conflict, issues tied to identity and LGBT concerns, and intimacy-related or attachment struggles. Jared aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin.
In sessions Jared focuses on listening first. They create space for people to name what feels hard and to notice patterns that keep problems going. Jared uses straightforward conversation, reflective listening, and practical exercises so people can try small changes between sessions.
Jared combines a few different approaches rather than following a single method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new beliefs. Client-centered work emphasizes the person's own goals and pace. Mindfulness techniques support noticing present-moment experience without judgment.
Over seven years of practice Jared has worked across a range of emotional and relational concerns. They pay attention to how past relationships and family history shape current reactions and choices. This often leads to clearer next steps for coping, setting boundaries, or repairing connections.
Sessions are cooperative and goal-focused, with an eye toward skills that can be used outside the therapy room. People who choose to work with Jared typically leave sessions with concrete ideas to practice, clearer priorities, and a sense of what to try next.
