Stacie Wentling

I (she/her) am a mental health therapist and certified addiction counselor specializing in somatic treatments to process trauma, reduce anxiety, improve relationships, and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I believe that we each possess wisdom and have an unbroken self that can support us as we seek to heal wounds from the past and build a life aligned with our values. I have supported individuals trying to navigate life's stressors, heal from toxic relationships, and figure out how to be more present and live a life that is meaningful. I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting and IFS, techniques that reduce distress associated with trauma. I started Upriver Wellness in 2024 to better serve individuals who are interested in healing through approaches rooted in compassion, nature, community and the wisdom of the body. I live and work on land previously under the stewardship of the Multnomah, Clackamas, Cowlitz and Klickitat tribes, amongst others, and forcibly taken by white settlers of European descent, and I work to honor their struggle and losses but also their wisdom and strength.
