PTSD/Trauma Therapist in Portland
January 30, 2021 9:20 AM Subscribe
I could really use a recommendation for a therapist in Portland who has experience in helping people work through trauma/ptsd.
The longer part of this is my wife went through a series of extremely scary medical emergencies over the last week that involved lots of hands on managing a series of critical situations on my part to keep her alive.
It happened a couple of times and now 12 hours after we've left the hospital I'm starting to fall apart and need to get to some counseling pretty fast because the kids get home from my parents today and she's not really able to do much. I suspect she'll also need some help processing what's going on with her as well as while I witnessed it and experienced it that way - she lived it.

I would always recommend Michael Kohler, LCSW. He is in downtown Portland and moved me through several major traumas with kindness, respect, and experience. I wish you and your wife well.
