About Therapy
Therapy is a space unlike most others in life—one where you don’t have to have it all together, and you don’t have to carry anything alone.
It’s a place to be honest, messy, curious, and human. When you’re used to putting others first, therapy can feel unfamiliar—maybe even indulgent. But the truth is, therapy isn’t selfish. It's a necessary space for you to slow down, be seen, and finally tend to the things you've been holding in.
We often move through the world doing what we’re supposed to do—showing up for others, keeping up appearances, pushing through discomfort. But underneath, we might be feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Therapy offers the chance to pause and ask: What do I really need right now? What’s not working anymore? What would healing actually look like for me?
Whether you’re navigating trauma, burnout, anxiety, life transitions, or relationship struggles, therapy can be a powerful space for reflection, growth, and lasting change.
It’s not about being fixed. It’s about becoming more fully yourself and living in alignment with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up—and together, we’ll take it from there.
Why I'm Here
I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be fully seen and supported—especially those who spend their lives caring for others. That's why I created Reverent Relational Therapy: to offer a sanctuary where you can finally put yourself first, perhaps for the first time. As someone who understands the weight of constantly showing up for others, I'm committed to being the person who shows up for you.
About Me
Kasey Joffe, LPC, LMFT
Hi, I’m Kasey—a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Portland, Oregon. I'm also the founder of Reverent Relational Therapy, where I offer therapy grounded in compassion, clarity, and a deep respect for your lived experience.
I specialize in working with people who are often the “strong one” in their relationships—the caregivers, people-pleasers, and new parents trying to keep everything together while quietly feeling overwhelmed. I understand what it’s like to always be the one others turn to, while you silently wonder, “But who is here for me?”
In therapy, I create a warm, collaborative space where you can safely let go of the pressure to perform or please. I integrate approaches like EMDR, IFS, EFT, and CBT, but more than anything, I show up with real presence, honesty and care. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your patterns, build healthy boundaries, and reconnect you with your own needs, sense of agency, and self-worth—so you can stop just surviving and start living more fully and freely.
I am originally from Eugene, Oregon and went to school for both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at The University of Oregon. I have since put down roots in Southeast Portland, where I live with my husband, our daughter, and our two cats and two dogs, with an ever-increasing number of houseplants. When I’m not in the therapy room, I enjoy recharging with my family, exploring Oregon’s trails, or curling up with a good book and coffee in hand.
How I Can Help You
I provide therapy to individuals and couples in Portland and throughout Oregon.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful approach that helps you break free from the grip of past traumas and negative beliefs. Through bilateral stimulation techniques, EMDR activates your brain's natural healing abilities, allowing you to process distressing memories without their original emotional charge, creating space for new perspectives and lasting relief.
