Eric Houghton
Professional Counselor Associate
Eric Houghton is a dedicated Professional Counselor Associate with master’s degrees in clinical Mental Health Counseling and Teaching, both earned from Southern Oregon University. Before transitioning to community mental health, I dedicated 12 years to teaching. As a father, husband, and musician, my multifaceted background enriches my understanding of diverse perspectives. Additionally, I am a volunteer radio DJ on Jefferson Public Radio, where I host The Folk Show on Sunday nights.
Professional Expertise: My expertise lies in supporting teens and families grappling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, gender identity, and LGBTQ+ issues. With a background as a former public school educator, I am attuned to the distinct challenges faced by adolescents in the post-pandemic era.
Philosophy and Approach: Guided by a comprehensive blend of humanistic, cognitive, behavioral, and systemic orientations, I firmly believe in the inherent potential for change, growth, and empowerment within each individual. My extensive background, particularly in working with children and adolescents, positions me to deliver person-centered, compassionate care. My aim is to assist individuals, families, and couples in cultivating healthy and functional lives.
Our collaborative journey will be grounded in mutual respect, as I strive to comprehend your current experience, paving the way for transformative change. Creating a non-judgmental, trauma-informed space is paramount to me, fostering positive relationships with clients and their families. Specializing in stress management, habit improvement, mindfulness, and symptom reduction, our sessions will guide you in addressing life’s barriers.
