I'm Naomi Mayo. I'm a therapist. I work with people who are stuck or struggling with their mood, thoughts, relationships, work, meaning or parenting.
I take my clients' lives as seriously as they do. I practice with integrity because good therapy can lead to insight, connection, and change but bad therapy can cause harm.
I’m not the therapist for everyone. I am for those people who are ready to be vulnerable and take risks because they know that change takes effort.
Working with me.
My training.
I received a Master of Social Work in 2002 and a PhD in developmental psychology in 2012. This is a research degree focused on development throughout life and issues in developmental neuroscience. It isn't a clinical degree, but the training greatly informs my clinical practice.
I practice as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW).
I've been doing this for 20 years and have worked with over a thousand clients, either directly or through providing clinical supervision.

My clients.
Who I see.
I work with individuals, couples, and children with their parents.
​
I help couples to communicate and connect so that they can better understand each other and change how they show up in their relationship.
​
When treating children, I primarily meet with their parents because parents are the key shaping force in a child's life. I help parents to better understand and support their child's emotional and psychological development. Counseling with adolescents can, but doesn't have to, include the parents.
My approach
I am an active therapist. I will pay close attention to you and work to understand what is keeping you stuck in your life. I will challenge you to be honest with yourself and to move towards what you've been avoiding.
I am trained in many evidence-based therapies, including ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and the Gottman technique.
​
I offer in-person visits at my office in Hood River and telehealth visits for people in Oregon and Washington.
