My ten plus years as a devoted therapist, my dedication to continued training plus my welcoming and non-judgmental approach will help us build a trusting relationship where you can grow. I integrate humor and honesty into sessions. By us working together you can heal, learn healthier coping skills, enrich your relationships, improve your self-worth and have confidence in your choices.
Most importantly, I believe YOU are the expert in your own life. As an OCD therapist I understand it will take patience and strategies (you don't yet have) to quiet the OCD noise and learn to hear and trust your own voice again. I have the tools and skills to teach you how to do this.
I am also a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I have years of experience in treating panic disorder, anxiety, emetophobia (fear of vomit), health anxiety and BFRB such as trichotillomania / hair pulling and dermatillomania / skin picking.
When clinically appropriate I may additionally use these therapeutic modalities: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Interoceptive Exposure Therapy, Inference-CBT (I-CBT), among others to compliment ERP which research shows can beneficial.
You are an individual NOT a diagnosis and will be treated as such. We will create a treatment plan to fit your unique goals and needs.

I am often able to work with Medicaid / Oregon Health Plan (OHP) across Oregon: Umpqua Health, Eastern OR CCO, Trillium, InterCommunity and more. Ask me how! Sadly, I am unable to bill Care Oregon: Jackson Care Connect (JCC), Health Net, or Columbia Pacific. I cannot bill Medicaid Pacific Source (OHP). Frustratingly, every OHP Coordinated Care Organization is different.
I can provide a Superbill to submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement upon request. Or, if you have OON benefits, I may be able to submit a bill for you, let's discuss more!
When checking your private insurance benefits, know that I may be listed under my name (Jennifer Thorer, LPC) or my business name: True North Counseling LLC. While I may show I am listed as an in-network provider, every individual plan is specific, and you are inevitably responsible for costs incurred during therapy. I am not able to check your benefits for you. I want clients to be aware of what their out-of-pocket costs (copays, coinsurance, deductibles) will be before starting together. If you have any concerns regarding this- or need help navigating this, please reach out.

I spent the first half of my career working with children and families- in an office setting, a school setting, residential settings, in the home and out in the community! I really wanted to provide ERP to children and their families; however, ERP can be challenging and doing it virtually takes a very dedicated and driven person! Overall, I decided to focus my practice on adults and teens.
However, I am open to a conversation around a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) model of ERP for a child and their parents/caregivers. This would allow the child and family to gain valuable skills to combat the OCD in a pre-determined timeframe, without ongoing long-term therapy. If you are interested in discussing more, please contact me!
When I do not have availability on my caseload for a referral, I do provide case consultation for clinicians to provide insight and basic ERP strategies.
If interested, contact me for fees and more information.
