Vetted, culturally competent, licensed therapists ready to support you.
BEKAH STINES, LPC
I am trained in S.A.F.E EMDR (Somatic and Attachment Focused) which provides a unique body centered approach to trauma treatment. I am also a Certified First Responder Counselor, with a focus in treatment of all first responders including law enforcement, fire, EMS/EMT, dispatch, and their family members.
In my practice, trauma integration incorporates an eclectic mix of body centered therapies, talk therapy, Intergenerational Family Systems and Internal Family Systems work where we look at the individual history and seek to understand our experiences with the systems around us. I work to incorporate the unique strengths of each client using interpersonal and client centered approaches which creates a gentle and safe therapeutic relationship with my clients while providing direct interventions for lasting healing.
I have a background in addiction recovery, community mental health, school-based therapy services, group, and individual therapy practice. I enjoy supporting local first responders who suffer from work-related trauma, chronic stress, and other traumas. Additionally, I love supporting family members impacted by the "first responder life". As a cop's wife, I can personally relate to many of the struggles unique to the first responder family. During 2020, I made a significant pivot in my business to begin focusing on first responder treatment after my own family struggled to find culturally competent therapists. This was something I could do to help! Since then, my passion has grown to support local agencies and nonprofits supporting the first responder and their loved ones.
Recently, I have expanded my practice to include a master's level student intern program which provides professional services at a discounted rate to better meet the high demand for quality mental health care in our community. My background in teaching allows me the fun outlet of investment in the next generation of developing therapists.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors (hiking, paddleboarding, exploring), and traveling to new places. I also love walking with my two German Shepherds, Duke & Sarge.

DR. JAMIE LUSK, PSYD, ABPP
Dr. Jaimie Lusk is a board certified clinical psychologist and United States Marine Corps combat veteran who served as a logistics officer in Operation Iraqi Freedom. She knows what it means to work in high stakes environments where split second decisions carry lasting weight.
For more than 15 years, Dr. Lusk has worked as a VA PTSD clinician and is a national and international consultant and trainer on moral injury. She specializes in the injuries that come with the job: trauma, moral distress, complex grief, and the cumulative toll of carrying other people’s worst days. Her work draws on evidence based treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Trauma Informed Guilt Reduction, to help responders untangle guilt, reconnect with their values, and build resilience that lasts across a career and beyond it.
Dr. Lusk brings a direct, practical, and playful style that resonates with professionals who would rather not sit on a couch talking about feelings. Clients describe her approach as battle buddy energy: straight talk, real tools, and someone who has your back. She also leads community and nature based programs, including surf therapy events for veterans.
She is licensed in Oregon, California, and Idaho and offers coaching, consultation, and training to agencies and individuals worldwide.
