Who We Are
Working to improve people's lives, one family at a time
Kyle Ahlf, PsyD
(he/him)
Licensed Psychologist (3014)
I aim to provide effective, evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families using empathy, caring, and warmth. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rogerian perspective aiming to alleviate what may ail a client. It is my belief that by empowering my clients, they will be able to take charge of their lives. I spent a year training with Dr. Laura Edwards-Leeper on providing affirmative therapy for transgender youth who may be socially transitioning or looking to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT). I have earned certification in treating OCD from the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation (IOCDF) Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI).

Only seeing clients via telehealth at this time
I believe that we all have within us the ability to achieve the growth and change that we desire, and will do so when we have the necessary understanding, tools, and sense of empowerment. I strive to help my clients reach their goals by providing these necessary conditions within a caring and compassionate environment. While I utilize a variety of techniques to address the individual needs of clients, my work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rogerian, and Experiential therapy approaches. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR).

Brianne Kiso, MSW
(she/her)
Mental Health Therapist
Clinical Social Work Associate (A13434)
I believe in attending a person’s needs from a strengths based perspective, and to build from those strengths throughout their journey in therapy. I believe empowering an individual in their decisions in therapy is an important and ethical part of the work. I look to utilize a variety of modalities and interventions that best fit the individual. Modalities I lean towards: DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) , TF-CBT (Trauma Focused CBT) and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy). I also like to use creative means of aiding you towards your goals in gaining both tools and fostering new insights. We will work together to regulate your nervous system, gain insight into all relationships, past traumas, bodily autonomy, understanding attachment, and build a life worth living. I always strive to meet you where you're at and sit alongside you in the work.

Services Provided
Services tailored to meet your unique needs
Intake Assessment
An intake assessment is necessary to begin the therapeutic process. During the intake, we will talk about the reasons why you are seeking therapy at this time, gather relevant information, and set a plan for treatment moving forward.
Individual Therapy
We utilize evidence-based mental health treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Rogerian techniques to provide a customized therapeutic experience. Treatment is focused on individuals struggling with the symptoms and effects resulting from depression, anxiety, and traumatic experiences. Kids, adolescents, and adults welcome.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is often the best course of action to take with children and adolescents. Treatment utilizes Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) and Family Systems perspectives to creatively connect with the entire family unit. The purpose of family therapy is often to resolve relationship difficulties, build skills to be used within the home, and to provide a safe environment where family members can express themselves freely.
Supervision
Supervision provided to LPC Associates, LCSW Associates, or Psychologist Residents seeking licensure and working towards accruing the necessary hours. Dr. Ahlf is listed on the supervisor registry for the State of Oregon and is willing to work with associates to develop a course of action that best fits their needs.
