I’m Janelle. I believe in the healing power of relationships. We often need another person to help us feel safe to look at patterns of fear, avoidance, anger, and resentment, and to try new ways of connecting with ourselves and others. As your therapist, I will join you with compassion, authenticity, and curiosity as we explore the challenges you face, places you get stuck, the changes you want to see, and new ways of experiencing yourself and your relationships. I work with adult and youth individuals, couples, and families to experience safety, trust, and acceptance in meaningful, connecting relationships. Past hurts and experiences can get in the way, but counseling can help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602099632827-Q6XKOYDXWEZ0E9MBTCKC/individual Home hand-drawn aim target icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602099584774-0T6KAH5ZJY74KBVE2NO6/couple_circle.png Home hand-drawn armchair icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602099606373-QQA8ZNERWZ60B2HWBLGD/family Home hand-drawn empty pill bottle icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602099653372-LLUY3LIWPCDR4M1S1FM9/kid Home hand-drawn simplified needles in back acupuncture icon https://thrivecounselingpdx.com/about daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602045460327-29S92P542RHIATQIK9P4/Standing...OK+edit.jpg About - Janelle Stuvland MA, Marriage, Couples & Family Therapist Associate My Approach I approach therapy from a collaborative, client-centered approach. I integrate wisdom from your experiences and social and cultural identities, as well as therapeutic approaches rooted in Attachment Theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology which emphasize the central role of relationships in healing across the lifespan. I desire to provide an environment where you feel welcomed, safe, heard, and validated. I believe we are all better able to change and take emotional risks when we feel safe and accepted. I strive to embrace my humanness in such a way that helps you to feel comfortable doing the same. We’re all on the journey of transformation together. I root my work in Attachment Theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Polyvagal Theory and heavily draw upon several evidence-based approaches in my work with clients including Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems. I also enjoy facilitating space for expressive arts such as painting and Sandtray Therapy, and many clients find these more “non-verbal” approaches to be sources of great self-exploration and expression. With children and families, I work from With children I also use Play Therapy, an evidence-based, developmentally appropriate model for children ages 3-10 to support social, emotional, and relational issues and process traumatic experiences. I support parents in building strong attachments with their children, addressing wounds that interfere with parenting, and navigating behavior challenges to develop resilient children and strong familial bonds. Many of the families I work with have neurodiversity at play—both kids and parents—which creates unique joys and challenges. A lot of times parents come to me saying they’ve read all the books and tried all the things and they don’t understand why these behaviors haven’t changed. And while their friends say they have similar issues, these parents internally utter, “I don’t think you mean it with the same intensity I do.” You’re not alone. Together we will figure out what works uniquely for your children and your family. We’ll focus on both on what to do and why this is happening. And with kids, I work on building connection first, and then regulation and social-emotional skills from a strengths-based approach that highlights their ever-expanding capacity. I am grateful to be trusted with my clients’ emotional experiences and seek to honor these experiences with care. Training, Education, and Professional Affiliations I hold a master’s degree in Couples, Marriage, and Family Therapy from George Fox University with specialized coursework in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, and Expressive Arts for Traumatized People. I have completed additional training in Sandtray Therapy, Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Collaborative Problem Solving for youth and families, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy. I am committed to supporting my work in the counseling room by growing my self-awareness and nurturing relationships in my own life. Additionally, I pursue professional growth opportunities to enhance my skills to best serve my clients. I am currently registered with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors as a Marriage and Family Therapist Registered Associate and receive regular supervision from Dora Parys LCSW and Marisela Van Sickle, LCSW who hold expertise in working with couples, families, and children. I am an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Portland Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy. https://thrivecounselingpdx.com/servicesto-build-out daily 0.75 2020-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602182623240-C3ZM66ZYXPRHF71ZZDE8/couple+sq+no+background.png Services-to build out hand-drawn armchair icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602182421981-C2UX7QAG8WE9V0AK6W45/indiv+sq Services-to build out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602182546855-H0FLKETA0M2TLCWNZ5TT/family+sq+no+background.png Services-to build out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b930a05213f1d47567dd2/1602182392809-UW6AYQUR6VSQ9X6E28RU/KID+NO+BACKGROUND.png Services-to build out hand-drawn simplified needles in back acupuncture icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1591890351443-9BFPVD8JAZDMEYXJNIIQ/image-asset.jpeg Services-to build out - “I underestimated how hard it would be adjusting to working from home, but with Dr. Schell’s help, I was able to regain focus.” — OLIVIA R., CLOVE CLIENT https://thrivecounselingpdx.com/get-started daily 0.75 2020-12-15 https://thrivecounselingpdx.com/our-approach daily 0.75 2021-06-01
