I'm Naomi Mayo. I'm a therapist specializing in relationships and parenting.
This means that I work with people who are struggling in their relationships, either as individuals or as a couple. I also work with parents and divorced or divorcing co-parents.
my training & approach
My Training
I have a PhD in developmental psychology (2012) and a Master of Social Work (2002). My PhD is an academic research degree, not a clinical degree, but my training greatly informs my clinical practice. I am licensed as a clinical social worker (LCSW).
​
I've been doing therapy for almost 25 years and have worked with well over a thousand clients, either directly or through providing clinical supervision to other therapists.

My Approach
As your therapist, I will take your life and relationship as seriously as you do, but without the judgement and bias.
​​
My aim as a therapist is to create a space where clients can be vulnerable, tolerate being challenged, and say the unspoken. My style is warm and direct with clear boundaries which allow me to engage difficult topics without taking sides. I want our work to make good use of your time and money, and that can only happen when you are actively engaged in the process.
fees & who i see
Fees
Out-of-pocket rates:
-
$180 for a 50-minute visit
-
$280 for an 80-minute visit
​
I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement. Insurance will only pay if you have a mental health diagnosis.
​
Sliding scale possible depending on circumstances and available reduced fee slots.
​
I offer in-person visits at my office in Hood River and telehealth visits for people in Oregon and Washington.
Who I See
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are grappling with frustration, fear, or doubt in their relationships. This often includes challenges with communication, work and household stress, desire and sex, betrayal, and insecurity. I also work with adult siblings and adult children and their parents.
Clients may be exploring ways to reduce conflict, strengthen connection, or gain clarity about whether to remain in the relationship.
​
I’ve narrowed my clinical focus to adults, but I’m continuing to support children by working with parents who want to examine and adjust their parenting to better meet their children’s needs.
