Manola Kerr Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy for individuals living in Oregon
This practice provides individual therapy for a broad variety of relationship issues & breakups, coping with life transitions & stress, and recovery from trauma, anxiety & depression. I enjoy guiding individuals towards gaining a better understanding of themselves that will assist them in improving their communication and boundaries, finding self-compassion, and developing the internal grit to pursue their life goals. There is strength in vulnerability, which is why I approach each client with respect and compassion.
Hi, I’m Manola
Welcome, I’m glad you’re here
Almost everyone needs professional support at some time in life. I have years of clinical experience, helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I enjoy working with adults who want support and guidance through some of life’s common challenges:
Navigating dating, relationships, and breakups.
Coping with major life changes such as job loss, chronic illness, or other unexpected events that leave you feeling powerless or like life is out of your control.
Recovering from past abuse, betrayal, or other traumatic experiences that are difficult to move on from.
Through our work together, you’ll learn:
How your experiences impact your beliefs, thoughts, and decisions
A new framework for better communication
How to assert healthy boundaries
How to utilize self-compassion
Healthy coping tools
The defensive coping tools getting in your way
How to harness your internal sense of power
How to integrate your values within your relationships and life goals
And so much more…
You will be able to have a better understanding of yourself, allowing for greater freedom to live your life on your own terms with meaning and purpose.

Anxiety & Depression
Bad things happen in life that are unexpected, unwanted, or overwhelmingly challenging to cope with. It is common to feel powerless or like life is out of your control, especially when moving through major life changes. Losing a loved one, a job loss, health changes, and other life transitions can cause overwhelming anxiety and feelings of defeat.

Relationship Issues
Almost everyone talks about relationships in their individual therapy. Our relationships are great entry points into:
Personal growth
Healing old wounds
Overcoming defenses
Understanding issues from our family of origin
Exploring the archetypes we enact with others
Better understanding our roles in conflict
Improving communication
Creating more intimacy and spark
Whether you’re currently single, dating, in a relationship, or navigating a tough breakup, therapy is helpful. I offer more than support and a third party perspective. You will discover helpful tools and develop a framework for better communication, getting your needs met, and for overcoming challenges.

Abuse & Trauma Recovery
I am passionate about supporting people as they find safety and calm after the storm. I know what it is like, personally, to feel caught in the midst of trauma, and how important it is to have someone to talk to about what you are experiencing. Healing and recovery after abuse, trauma, and sexual assault is a journey that requires time, patience, and support.
Through our work together, you will gain a better understanding of yourself, allowing for greater freedom to live the life you want and deserve.
