Lori Cunnington. 541 206 2718, www.loricunnington.com I've known her for years, she's the nicest, most understanding woman ever and great at what she does.

I don't have anyone to recommend but I just wanted to say how awesome it is of you to proactively seek (better) treatment for your issues. Happy Holidays and take care.

I know an analrapist.

Depends on what your ailment is. Given that the Psych program at UO is well established, I'm sure you'll have plenty of good suggestions.

I don't have any personal recommendations, but I just want to suggest https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/ , which lets you see local therapists' brief profiles and filter by specialty... it might help narrow things down, if nothing else!

I've heard great things about Jordan Shin, but she tends to be pretty busy and I don't know if she Skypes. She would probably have good recommendations for other trans-knowledgeable therapists in the area, so I'd give her a call. I think the TransPonder admin (local trans* support/social group) has a list of local resources as well. His e-mail should be discoverable via Google, or PM me and I can send it to you.

I don't know shit about transgender things, but I've had really great experiences with Elizabeth Remini.

https://dos.uoregon.edu/lgbt Maybe try to connect with someone here about their recommendations in Eugene? I don't know any personally, but that's where I'd start.

I have a friend who lives in Scotland, and he is a wonderful therapist/life coach. He works via Skype. His site is http://antonysammeroff.com You can also google his youtube channel (I think its called "Enrich your Life") and watch/listen to some of his podcasts. He has a very special way about him. He is an amazing listener, and his voice is very soothing. Good luck to you. I hope you enjoy the Willamette Valley :) edit: if you talk to him, tell him Ula says hey.

[White Bird](http://whitebirdclinic.org/chrysalis-behavioral-health/) can probably help and/or refer you to resources that fit your needs.

good for you! i'm not sure what the programs are actually like, but i have a couple of friends who work at serenity lane as counselors and they're great and nonreligious. good luck, and stay strong.

I work in the counseling field and I only know of one peer support group--which is what AA/NA are--in the area, and that is the Zen Buddhist place on 22 nd and Garfield. They have a Monday night group that sits in meditation for a few minutes, then just have a discussion. They're really nice people.

I would never want to refer a place that had questionable practices. It is a Center I refer clients to, and have never been a patient myself. It's good to know. Even if they may have changed, that might be too intense for some folks.

Hey man, feel free to hit me up if you want to go for a hike or need someone to talk to. Good luck to you brother.

AA and other 12 step programs do not require you to be religious, nor do they push a religious agenda. You, on the other hand, will need to be tolerant of other people's religious view's if you want help from that program. There is the "higher power" aspect but it's very subjective and open to interpretation. My higher power is my autonomic nervous system. I'm an atheist, never had any problems at AA.

Call 2-1-1, I bet they can give you a referral

Center for Family Development utilitizes a strength (not faith) based recovery plan. http://www.c-f-d.org/home/cfd/page_11/adult_substance_use_recovery_services.html

Willamette Family Treatment Services. Best of luck to you, friend.

You a Veteran? If so hit up the VA. They have a facility near Medford that is off the charts amazing and is equipped to handle substance abuse and psych both. I cannot throw enough praise towards those guys (and gals) down there. Top tier. It is called [SORCC](http://www.southernoregon.va.gov/). Hit me up if you (or anyone else reading this) need more info.

Y'know... those programs aren't incompatible with atheism. You ought to do well by yourself and do your research. You can choose your own "high power." If you sarcastically wish to make it a rock, then do so. But the function of control that occurs with alcoholism is real. Being able to give control over, even to a figment of one's imagination, is an incredibly powerful ability and a positive step towards recovery. You can still be an atheist, so a twelve step program is a yes-go.

Look into Quest Integrated Health on E Burnside. They are very integrated and can suggest other places if they don't have what you want.

Daniel Espiritu might know someone.

I go to Quest Integrated Health too... I'm happy there and they take Oregon health plan.

" Western psychology tends to issue from a place of damage and illness... Buddhist psychology would have us start from a place of wholeness and perfection." I love that! Here's one of the the articles I was talking about one day at work: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/enlightened-living/201301/human-needs-buddhist-psychology-and-mindfulness I enjoyed reading through most of that authors pieces in the "Enlightened Living" section of PT. And here's a list of Portland Buddhist therapists Psych Today generated: http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/prof_results.php?city=Portland&county=Multnomah&state=OR&spec=404

Contact Options Counseling, there are some great folks there; 1255 Pearl St, Eugene, OR 97401 (541) 687-6983

The fund you speak of is through this office, I believe. They also provide advocacy for the court process. If you haven't gotten in touch with them, please do. They don't provide trauma counseling, but their advocates might know of some good therapists. http://www.lanecounty.org/Departments/DA/VictimServices/Pages/default.aspx

Patty Nadel is wonderful for people with PTSD and similar thing.
