Hello, I’m Nate Wilson-Traisman. Welcome to my Portland counseling practice. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists. I provide therapy / counseling to teenage / adolescent boys and their families, and offer individual therapy for both adolescents, and adults.

Therapy For Teens / Adolescents

I have extensive experience working with teenage / adolescent boys on a wide range of presenting issues, including teen anxiety, depression in adolescence, academic disengagement, family conflict, and communication issues. I also enjoy working with athletes. I spent five years as the Mental Conditioning Coach for Lewis and Clark Baseball, and am active as a youth baseball coach in the community. I also use my wealth of experience in college admissions to help families navigate the complexities of the college search and application process.

Therapy For Adults

I provide individual therapy for adults, and enjoy helping adults work through a variety of presenting challenges, including relationship issues, anxiety, career-related issues, challenges with emotional expression, and stress management. My counseling approach focuses on identifying your unique strengths, and utilizing those strengths in our work. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the most important aspect of therapy, so building a strong relationship with you is my number one priority.

Support for Parents of Teens

I offer counseling for parents of teens. Sometimes this happens in conjunction with individual/family therapy, and I work solely with parents to provide education and support during their child’s teenage years.

Location in Portland

My office is centrally located at 2304 E. Burnside, Suite 3. This inner-east side location is well located for residents of both NE and SE Portland, and is a close to the river, making it a manageable commute for westside residents. My office is a short distance from Central Catholic, Grant High, Cleveland, Franklin, Benson, and Lincoln high schools. I’m also close to several local middle schools. My office is accessible by car, and by several major bus lines.

Cost and Insurance

I charge a flat, per session fee, but have a limited number of sliding scale slots available for those in need. Please see my Fees and Forms page for more information. I am not in-network with any insurance companies, but can provide you superbills so that you might receive out-of-network benefits.

My Approach to Therapy

Deciding to see a therapist can be an intimidating process, filled with all sorts of questions. My goal is to make counseling feel accessible and welcoming, and I cater my approach to support those goals. I am a non-directive therapist, meaning I will work with you to determine the focus of our work. While I bring an expertise to my work, I do not view myself as an expert on your problems. I believe you are the expert on your own life! My approach is warm, open, engaging, and accepting.
