Our goal when we created Refresh Therapy was to create a place where you can tell your story. Everyone has a story. We can't wait to hear yours. Counseling encourages you to examine your dreams, thoughts, choices, barriers, and pain to nurture positive life changes. We believe that success in therapy requires collaboration with your therapist, and that the right fit is vital to success. Refresh Therapy consists of several dynamic therapists who are ready to join you in your efforts to push past whatever is holding you back. We believe that life is full of potential. We want to help you uncover the best life you can live. We believe in a strength-based approach. We also know that you do not live in a bubble, and that systems such as your family friends, career, relationships, past, and other experiences make you the unique person you are. We know how important it is to understand who you are in context, so we can customize your counseling experience and better understand your feelings. Bryanna Goodman founded Refresh Therapy in 2010.

Your unique experiences, goals, and priorities will be at the heart of your care in my small practice. I work to empower my clients with the best available information to make choices about their own treatment. I'm proud to offer a whole-person approach, with therapy and thoughtful medication management services to support your growth and healing. I am board-certified in General Psychiatry as well as Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and I enjoy working with people of all ages. I am pleased to serve clients throughout the states of Oregon and New York via telehealth. In fall 2025, I am accepting new patients, with immediate appointment availability.
I work with adults navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, and major life transitions. Many of my clients identify as neurodivergent or are newly exploring that language and want a therapist who understands how neurodivergent (ND) traits shape daily functioning, relationships, and stress. I also support clients experiencing intergenerational and cultural dissonance, especially when family expectations conflict with personal identity, autonomy, or emotional needs. I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS) with training in supporting autistic and ADHD adults across diverse presentations. My approach is active, compassionate, and grounded in research. We work together to reduce shame, overwhelm, and self-criticism so you can access clarity, regulation, and a more confident sense of self. I prioritize curiosity, collaboration, and a therapeutic relationship where you feel understood and supported. You can expect integrated, skills-based, and solution-oriented interventions that honor your neurotype and your lived experience. If you’re seeking a grounded, affirming space to understand yourself and move toward meaningful change, I invite you to reach out. Please see my contact information to schedule an introductory consultation.
Therapy with me goes beyond standard talk therapy to work directly with your nervous system and core emotional patterns: Somatic Experiencing & Regulation: Calming "fight-or-flight" or freeze responses using grounding and somatic tracking to relieve physical anxiety and help your body feel safe again. Internal Family Systems (IFS): Exploring and harmonizing the different internal "parts" of yourself--especially those carrying shame, fear, or protective habits--so you can lead with clarity and self-compassion. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Developing psychological flexibility, unhooking from overwhelming thoughts, and taking concrete steps aligned with your values.
My approach to helping people is rooted in warmth, empathy, and a deep commitment to personal growth, shaped by both my family life and nearly two decades as a licensed marriage and family therapist. Drawing inspiration from my loved ones, the arts, and nature, I strive to create a nurturing and safe environment where clients can heal and build resilience. I specialize in attachment and relationship-focused therapy, utilizing evidence-based modalities and the PACE model (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, empathy), as well as integrating innovative practices like psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My collaborative style empowers individuals to overcome trauma, grief, anxiety, and relationship challenges, honoring each client’s unique strengths and journey. I am dedicated to supporting you with compassion and positivity as you embark on your path toward healing and transformation.
The essence of good mental health is the ability to regard ourselves with a warm and caring heart. Too often, we fall into ruts of self-criticism, defensiveness, blame and get lost in cycles of shame that alienate ourselves from others and from ourselves. Through therapeutic work, we can reconsider the way we relate to ourselves and our inner experiences, normalizing what seems sick or broken, going deeper into parts of our inner life, creating more internal space, more external tolerance and moving forward with clear and concise choices about who we are and how we want to be in this world. Self-doubt often cripples us from making decisions or following through with our commitments. We can find ourselves stumbling over thoughts, unsure of how to move forward. Or we might discover that our lives have become small, our resources diminished. Oftentimes, it is our own internal script that blocks us from the health that is waiting to emerge. It's a story of our brokenness or worthlessness that doesn't allow us to have the feelings that are eager to come forward and animate our lives. Through the therapeutic investigation and opening up to our inner landscape, we find more space, more decisiveness and more confidence in ourselves. Ultimately, we develop a sense of humor about what and who we are that allows us to live lives of great clarity, clear differentiation and confidence, not that we will no longer make mistakes, but that we can recover from mistakes quickly.
My approach to healing is grounded in strengths theory, utilizing and highlighting our innate resilience to support individuals on their journey through challenging times. Too often in our busy day to day activities paired with the fast paced demands of our society we spend much of our time focused on what's wrong, what we don't have, and the mistakes we've made along the way; all the while losing sight of the strengths that have supported us on our journey. I'm passionate about helping families, couples, and individuals navigate challenges, achieve fulfillment, and become engaged and empowered in their lives. I rely on cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and strength-based approaches. I strongly endorse the notion that social and family interactions affect development, so I help my clients transition from unhealthy interactions to healing through internalized change. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal from life's challenges. I strive to find creative approaches tailored to each client's struggles and strengths. I support the exploration and development of innate talents. Working as a therapist for the last seven years has helped me develop my understanding of mental health in a range of settings, including community mental health, juvenile corrections, work with cancer survivors, and private practice care.
My approach focuses on identifying and healing subconscious patterns and protective responses shaped by trauma and early life experiences. I help clients reconnect with their sense of safety and self-trust.
You may be someone who feels deeply and reflects carefully about the world around you. On the outside, you may appear capable and composed while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Many of my clients identify as highly sensitive, emotionally perceptive, or "deep feelers" seeking a trauma-informed therapy experience that honors depth, reflection, nervous system awareness, and authentic connection. Maybe you've been carrying something for a long time—grief that hasn't fully moved, emotional pain that still catches in your chest, or a quiet sense of being "too much" or "not enough," depending on the day. You may have tried to think your way through it, talk it out, or push it down—but your body still remembers. I'm Laurel, and I work with deep feelers, survivors, and sensitive, introspective adults who want to better understand themselves and the patterns they've learned to carry. In our work together, we'll slow things down and become curious about what's happening beneath the surface—your emotions, nervous system responses, relationships, and protective patterns. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, somatic, and relational. Rather than asking you to push past your responses, we'll listen to them. Together, we'll explore how your experiences have shaped your internal landscape and create space for greater self-understanding, connection, and trust in yourself. For clients who are drawn to spirituality or intuition, there is also space to explore these experiences with curiosity, discernment, and care. If you're navigating trauma, grief, relationship challenges, anxiety, burnout, or major life transitions—and are looking for something deeper than traditional talk therapy—I invite you to reach out. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout California and Washington.
