Specialized from the start
We understand the patterns common to ADHD, OCD, and Anxiety, including Panic, Phobias, and Social Anxiety. That focused knowledge helps us move more quickly toward what is relevant to you.
Our Approach
Evidence-based therapy, made personal.
At Mindful Kinetics, specialized care does not mean rigid or impersonal. We combine focused clinical methods with warmth, collaboration, and practical tools shaped around you.

Our Philosophy
You are more than a set of symptoms.
Mindful Kinetics is a mental health practice based in Portland, Oregon. We’re passionate about helping adults and adolescents navigate ADHD, OCD, Social Anxiety, Panic, and Phobias with warmth, compassion, and real tools that work.
We believe meaningful change becomes possible when people feel understood, supported, and empowered. Our mission is to help neurodivergent and anxious individuals build lives that feel more grounded, focused, and aligned with who they truly are.
We begin with curiosity, not criticism. The patterns bringing you to therapy often developed for understandable reasons. Together, we make sense of what they are doing, identify what is no longer serving you, and build new responses that feel both useful and sustainable.
You’re not alone in this. And you don’t have to face it alone either.
What Guides Our Work
Care that is specific, collaborative, and human.
The same diagnosis can look very different from one person to another. Our work is guided by principles that help treatment remain focused without losing sight of the whole person.
Built together
Therapy is something we do with you. We clarify what matters, shape goals together, and adjust our plan based on your feedback and what we learn along the way.
Neurodivergent-affirming
Our goal is not to force your brain into someone else’s version of normal. We work to reduce shame, understand your needs, and build supports that fit your actual life.
Compassionate and active
Feeling accepted and making meaningful change can happen together. We bring warmth to the relationship while helping you practice new ways of responding to difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations.
Evidence-Based Methods
Clinical tools, thoughtfully applied.
We draw from established behavioral approaches and adapt them to the person in front of us.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps us understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors reinforce one another. We use that understanding to interrupt unhelpful cycles and build more effective responses.
ACT
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
ACT builds psychological flexibility. Instead of waiting for every difficult thought or feeling to disappear, we practice making room for the experience while moving toward what matters.
ERP
Exposure & Response Prevention
ERP helps change cycles of fear, avoidance, and compulsive responding. The work is planned collaboratively and approached gradually, with clarity about both the purpose and the pace.
Your therapist may combine these approaches with other strategies based on your needs. Methods support the work, but they never replace the importance of a trusting therapeutic relationship.
How Change Takes Shape
A clear direction, with room to move at your pace.
Therapy is rarely a straight line. This simple framework keeps the work grounded while giving us room to respond to what you need.
Understand
We slow things down, clarify what you are experiencing, and map the patterns that keep the problem going. Understanding creates a foundation for purposeful change.
Practice
We develop and rehearse new responses in manageable steps. Sessions can include reflection, skill-building, behavioral experiments, and planning for real-life practice.
Integrate
We learn from what happens outside the therapy room, refine the approach, and strengthen changes that support a more flexible, grounded, and meaningful life.
We revisit goals throughout therapy so the work continues to reflect what matters to you.
Let’s find an approach that fits you.
