Manifest Counseling PDX
Ready to stop harmful, dissatisfying relationship patterns once and for all?
Are you tired of merely existing instead of truly living due to anxiety, stress, and overwhelm?
Charlotte Haefner, LPC | Anxiety, Self-Esteem, & Relationship Stress Therapist in Portland and throughout Oregon via Telehealth.
Hello, I'm Charlotte!
My general theory base is psychodynamic, client-focused, and holistic, focusing on deep and lasting healing, skill building, identity/self-knowledge and growth. My strengths-based, trauma-informed approach is founded in solution-focused, mindfulness, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I am also EMDR trained (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I work with any and all gender identities and sexual orientations. All are welcome!
​
I specialize in working with individuals ages 18+ who are wanting to work through and get to the other side of life challenges, relationship issues, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief and loss including loss of a pet, phase of life issues such as "adulting", anxiety, panic, recovering from a breakup (moving on and letting go), exploring new career options, codependency, setting boundaries, life balance, and trauma including recovering from narcissistic abuse.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Brandman University. I am a National Board Certified Exceptional Needs Specialist, all ages. Previous to my career in mental health, I taught students with mild to moderate learning disabilities for twenty years. I am also a fully trained life coach through nationally accredited New Ventures West in San Francisco, CA.
​
When I'm not with clients, I am often out in nature hiking in the woods or tending to my garden. I also love dancing, biking, learning how to play Brazilian "tamborím", singing, and spending time with friends and any animal great or small.

Have a special learning style? Need visuals? Struggle with executive functioning or ADHD? Thrive on exploring what you learn in multiple ways to mastery? That's my jam! Part of counseling is psychoeducation. Sometimes it's a lot of information to digest at once. I'll make sure that any of your learning differences are accommodated in session so you get the most out of your time and effort.

Would you like to talk to me first to find out if we are a fit for counseling? Contact me and we can schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation. During this call, you will have an opportunity to tell me about what you're wanting to work on in therapy, and what you hope to get out of therapy. This is also a time when you can ask me any questions you have about me or my therapeutic style and approaches to the issues you're wanting to work on.
