Welcome to Summit Wellness Counseling.
Where evidence-based therapy meets heart-and-soul healing. A Springfield, Oregon practice for sensitive souls, intuitive caretakers, and seekers ready for the deeper work.
A Note from Aaron
If you've found your way here, you're likely someone who reads the room before you enter it — who carries other people's feelings as easily as your own. In Korean, there's a word for that gift: nunchi (눈치). For some of us, it isn't a skill. It's our whole nervous system. I'm Aaron Porter — mixed-race Korean American therapist, IFS therapist, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy guide. I built this practice for people like us: tender-hearted, deeply intuitive, ready for healing that honors both the research and the reverence. - Aaron
How we walk this work
Mind
Evidence-based therapy — IFS, EMDR, EFT — for the parts of you that have been carrying for a long time.
Heart
Relational, ancestral, embodied work. We honor the story your body has been holding.
Medicine
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for those called to deeper terrain — preparation, journey, and integration.
About the practice
At Summit Wellness Counseling we provide culturally sensitive mental health therapy services to individuals, including children and adolescents, couples, and families who experience emotional distress following trauma, grief and loss, and experiences of oppression and marginalization in all its shapes and forms. Our therapists guide and support clients through their healing process during and after these painful events towards their goals of symptom reduction and returning to higher levels of functioning in all areas of their lives.
In-person and remote options
We are happy to provide in-person sessions and telehealth services through our secure online platform.
