Life Awaits

Are you feeling depressed and looking for some relief? Are you feeling anxious and looking for answers? Are you tired of hurting and ready to get back to life?

What I Do

Jason Porter MA, LCPC

Life can be hard.

Sometimes it feels like you're carrying a weight that no one else can see. You may be struggling with anxiety that won't let you rest, depression that steals your joy, trauma that continues to affect your daily life, or relationship challenges that leave you feeling disconnected and alone.
Maybe you've tried to push through on your own and found that the burden is simply too heavy.
If that's where you are, you're not alone, and you don't have to stay there.

I work with adults, teens, and couples who are facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and the many struggles that life can bring.
Through both professional experience and personal understanding, I know that life can be difficult at times, and that reaching out for support can make a meaningful difference.
My passion is helping people navigate obstacles, discover their strengths, and move toward the life they want to live.
I believe each person has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients on that journey.

My career in mental health began at a community mental health center, where I worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges.
From there, I transitioned into school counseling, supporting students and families for nearly two decades before moving into private practice.
These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds and at many different stages of life.

When I'm not counseling, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, camping, mountain biking, playing guitar, or hanging out with my dogs.
I love the outdoors, music, and the people who matter most.

I believe life is too precious to spend trapped in suffering.
There is hope.
There is healing.

And I'd love the opportunity to help you get back to life.

Life awaits.

Couples Counseling

Relationships can be one of life's greatest sources of joy, but they can also be one of its greatest challenges. When communication breaks down, trust is damaged, or conflicts seem impossible to resolve, it's easy to feel frustrated, disconnected, and alone.

I provide counseling for couples facing a wide range of relationship concerns, including communication difficulties, recurring conflict, unhealthy relationship patterns, unrealistic expectations, trust issues, emotional disconnection, and the challenges of navigating relationships affected by narcissistic behaviors.

My goal is to help couples better understand one another, develop healthier ways of communicating, strengthen emotional connection, and build a relationship that is both fulfilling and resilient. Whether you are working to repair your relationship or simply want to strengthen an already solid foundation, counseling can provide the tools and support needed to move forward together.
