“The room is quiet and nobody rushes you. I could take my time saying what I came to say.”

Therapy for adults whose work has taken over
One-on-one counseling for burnout, career strain and the stress that follows you home. Your first session is a conversation about what you need.
Services
Therapy for the strain you are carrying
Every person's situation is different. You choose what to work on, and your counselor explains how each approach works before using it.
Burnout and work stress
When work follows you home and rest stops helping. We talk through what is draining you, what you can change and what you can't, and build routines you choose.
Request a first sessionWorkload, boundaries and rest
Career decisions and transitions
Perfectionism and the pressure to perform
Anxiety and worry
Racing thoughts, constant worry, physical tension. We use cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based methods, and explain each one before we try it.

Stress regulation and grounding skills
Sleep and the 3 a.m. mind

About Grove
One counselor, one steady room
Grove is a solo practice. Candace Banks, a licensed professional counselor, sees every client, so you work with the same person each week. Sessions are one-on-one, in our Portland office or by video.
Human-centered
A respectful relationship comes before any technique.
Clinically grounded
Care from a licensed counselor, using methods we name and explain.
Built around you
Goals and pacing evolve through ongoing collaboration.
How we work
Care with clarity, warmth, and purpose
What you can expect from the first session onward.
Personalized Care
Your goals, history, and pace guide the work rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Private by default
We keep your records private and share them only as the law allows.
Methods, named
We use cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, and explain each one before we use it.
In person or by video
Sessions at our Portland office, or by video for clients in Oregon, where we are licensed.
A focus on adults
Our work is with adults facing work strain, worry, low mood and hard stretches in relationships.
Collaborative Process
Regular check-ins keep goals, methods, and next steps transparent throughout the work.

“My counselor asked what I wanted from our time, then let me answer. It felt like a conversation, not a form.”
Malcolm R.“I was unsure about therapy. The first session was calm, and I knew what to expect before I left.”
