About Embark Therapeutic Services, LLC

A Supportive Environment for Healing

A Safe Harbor for Your Journey

Restoration happens best in a space that feels safe and grounded. Whether we are meeting in our Redmond, OR office or connecting via our secure telehealth platform, our goal is to provide a "harbor" where you can be your most authentic self without judgement.

Feeling nervous about telehealth visits? Learn ways to feel more prepared so you can focus on what matters most: Your healing process. We also share reflections and education through our mental health resources.

• Diagnostic Clarity: We don't guess; we assess. Our background in diagnostics ensures we understand the "why" behind your struggle so we can build a map that actually leads to change.

• Collaborative Partnership: You are the expert on your life. We are the experts on the tools. Together, we navigate the terrain.

• Evidence-Based Stability: We utilize proven techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help you move from "survival mode" to long-term restoration. We also have formal training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Who We Serve

At Embark Therapeutic Services, LLC, we primarily serve adults residing in Oregon who are seeking meaningful support, insight, and change. Many of the people we support feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—and are looking for a supportive space to better understand themselves and move forward with intention. We provide therapy for those who are ready to explore patterns, build coping skills, and engage in thoughtful health process at their own pace.

Our team brings diverse clinical backgrounds and perspectives, allowing us to thoughtfully match clients with a therapist whose approach and expertise align with their needs and goals. If we determine that our practice is not the best fit, we are committed to helping clients find appropriate referrals and resources to ensure they receive the type of support they need.

We offer limited in-person services in Redmond, OR and various scheduling options for secure telehealth treatment throughout the state.

Meet Our Team

Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon (L7193), and I’m passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and moments of growth. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in trust—and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and supported.

My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, drawing from evidence-informed practices to meet you where you are. I value curiosity, openness, and flexibility in the therapeutic process, and I work alongside clients to build insight, resilience, and practical tools that fit their lives—not just in theory, but in real, everyday moments.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I’m someone who feels most grounded when I’m outdoors. I love spending time in nature, mountain biking, and going for long runs to clear my head. At home, you’ll usually find me playing with my Golden Retriever or being thoroughly entertained by my three cats. I’m also a bit of a foodie and enjoy exploring new restaurants, cooking, and discovering flavors from different cultures. Traveling and reading are longtime passions of mine, and lately I’ve especially enjoyed sharing new experiences—big and small—with my young daughter and seeing the world through her curious eyes.

If you’re considering therapy, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

Bethany Douglas, LPC, NCC, CADC-III

Licensed Professional Counselor, Addictions Specialist

Hi, I’m Bethany, and I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a licensed professional counselor in Oregon (C5250) with over 14 years of experience helping adolescents and adult populations identify their distress and navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), addictive behaviors, relationship challenges, and related safety concerns. I approach therapy as a collaborative, compassionate process—one where we work together to understand what’s going on and build tools that genuinely fit your life.

I’m a native Oregonian, and connection—to people, place, and purpose—deeply informs how I show up as a therapist. Outside of work, I love exploring the outdoors through hiking and camping, getting lost in a good book or a challenging puzzle, and working with my hands through creative woodworking or gardening projects. I’m also a mom to a curious toddler, which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, humor, and the beautifully imperfect nature of growth. Cooking, spending time with friends, and learning from others are some of the ways I stay grounded and energized.

If you’re considering therapy, I’d be honored to support you.
