Psychological services offered
Every service below is delivered by secure telehealth to families anywhere in Oregon and Washington by Dr. Justin Bush, PhD, a psychologist licensed in both states (Oregon License 2154, Washington License PY61540899).
Child, Teen & Young Adult Therapy
Individual therapy for ages 5 to 23 using CBT, ACT, DBT skills, and strengths-based approaches — for anxiety, depression, ADHD and executive functioning, emotional dysregulation, school stress, and social difficulties.
Family Therapy for Parents, Children & Teens
Work on the patterns between people: conflict cycles, communication breakdown, sibling friction, and transitions like divorce, co-parenting changes, and blended families.
Parent Consultation & Positive Parenting Skills Coaching
Coaching for parents of children and teens ages 5 to 23. Practical behavior-management strategy, routines, limits, and repair — often the fastest route to change because parents are with the child every day.
Psychological Testing & Evaluation
Comprehensive evaluation for ADHD, learning differences including dyslexia, and diagnostic clarity, plus Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE), with reports written for IEP and 504 teams.
School Support & Academic Success
Consultation with parents and school teams: IEP and 504 planning, Functional Behavioral Assessments, Behavior Intervention Plans, and executive-functioning supports.
Free 15-Minute Consultation
A short conversation to work out which of the above — if any — is the right starting point for your family.
How to choose the right service
If the central question is what is going on, start with an evaluation. If the question is how do we handle this at home, start with parent consultation. If a child or teen is struggling with mood, worry, or coping, start with individual therapy. If the friction is between people rather than inside one person, start with family therapy. If school is the pressure point, start with school support. When it is not obvious, the free consultation exists precisely for that.
