Identity, Self-Worth & Life Transitions

Rediscover who you are beneath the conditioning, expectations, and life experiences that have shaped you.

"I don't know who I am anymore"

At Healing Arts Therapy PDX, we understand that identity is not fixed—it evolves as we grow, heal, and move through the complexities of life. When transitions arise, it can feel disorienting, overwhelming, or even like the ground beneath you is shifting. We create a supportive, compassionate space where you can reconnect with yourself and explore what feels true and authentic moving forward.

Who This Work Is For

This work is for individuals who are ready to understand themselves on a deeper level and create a life that feels aligned, grounded, and authentic. Many clients who seek out identity and self-worth therapy are moving through experiences that have shifted their sense of stability, belonging, or direction.

You might be drawn to this work if you:
  • Feel disconnected from yourself or unsure of who you are right now
  • Are navigating divorce, separation, or a major relational transition
  • Sense that old conditioning, roles, or expectations no longer fit
  • Want to rebuild self-worth after years of pleasing, caregiving, or shrinking yourself
  • Are questioning long-standing beliefs about who you “should” be
  • Feel like you lost your voice in past relationships, family systems, or cultural narratives
  • Are stepping into a new chapter—career, identity, parenting, adulthood—and want support finding clarity
  • Are untangling internalized shame, guilt, perfectionism, or survival patterns
  • Are seeking a more meaningful, empowered, values-driven life
  • Feel ready to uncover and reclaim parts of yourself that have been buried or overlooked
Clients who choose this path often describe feeling stuck between versions of themselves—caught between who they were and who they’re becoming. This work invites you to slow down, listen inward, and make space for the truth that has been waiting to surface.

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. This is a place to explore, untangle, rebuild, and ultimately come home to yourself.

You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone

When life shifts, identity shifts with it.
We walk beside you as you rediscover what feels true, build deeper self-worth, and create a life that reflects your values, integrity, and authentic self.
