Do Oregon therapists specializing in relationship issues offer sliding scale fees?

Should I do individual therapy or couples therapy first?
It depends on the issue. If you're both willing and the relationship is the central pain — communication, conflict, distance, sex — couples therapy is usually the right entry. If the issue is one partner's depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction making the relationship hard, individual therapy first (often paired with later couples work) tends to be more effective. If there's abuse, coercive control, or active addiction without recovery, individual therapy is the safer starting point. Many Oregon therapists will help you sort which path fits in a 15-minute consult.
What is attachment style and is it real?
Attachment theory is one of the most empirically supported frameworks in psychology — it grew out of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth's mid-century research on infant-caregiver bonds and has been validated across dozens of cultures and decades of follow-up studies. The four adult attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized) describe predictable patterns of how you seek connection, handle conflict, and respond to threat in close relationships. Pop-psych accounts oversimplify, but the core science is sound — and attachment styles can shift toward security with the right therapeutic work.
I keep ending up with the same kind of partner. Is that fixable?
Yes — and it's one of the most common reasons people seek individual therapy in Oregon. The pattern usually has roots: an attachment template formed early, a specific need that wasn't met, an unconscious attempt to repair the original wound through a similar partner. Therapy that combines attachment work, IFS, and sometimes EMDR for the high-charge formative memories tends to break the loop. People notice the shift first in who they're attracted to (less intensity around unavailable partners) and second in what feels like a viable match.
