Welcome! My name is Judy Zehr and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience treating anxiety and its challenging effects such as:

• racing mind

• rumination

• over eating, drinking, shopping

• insomnia

• difficulty with intimacy and connection

• self-doubt and self-criticism

• decision anxiety

• core issues of self-worth, control and security

This list is not comprehensive, but it shows how anxiety tendrils can affect so much of our well-being.

I’ve had advanced training in treating anxiety and use tools from Emotional Brain Training, EMDR, ACT, Mindfulness, CBT, Somatic therapies and DBT to help clients build the skills to shift from an anxious brain to a more relaxed, grounded and secure one.

Anxiety is our number one mental health issue and we have fantastic treatment tools now so please don’t go it alone. You can feel better!

A little more about me:. I too have struggled with anxiety and have used the tools I teach. I have a Master’s degree from Lewis and Clark college and another one from the University of Utah. I have four kids, all grown and doing well which I feel very fortunate about! I live in Portland with my husband of 35 years, our dog and our cat. For fun I hang out with friends, hike, bike, read, and like to do little crafty projects. I have written one book which you can find on Amazon titled “Hold On To Yourself: How to Stay Cool in Hot Conversations”.

I am committed to the importance of diversity and am honored to work with people of all ethnic backgrounds, races, genders, and sexual orientations. I look forward to meeting you!
