- ABOUT ME -
Shae Ferguson, M.A.
Professional Counselor Associate
I am formally trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals, Psychodynamic Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness approaches, Person Centered and Rogerian therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
I am a graduate of Lewis and Clark’s Professional Mental Health Counseling Masters program where I also completed additional training in the clinical treatment of Grief & Loss, Human Sexuality, and Trauma.
For several years I worked in rural county mental health, serving on DBT, suicide intervention, and eating disorder teams, before starting my own counseling practice.
Before becoming a therapist I served my community in a clinical-medical role in Infertility, Perinatology, Obstetrics and Naturopathic specialties.
I am a Health at Every Size provider and I welcome all people to my practice.
- HOW I WORK -
I am an Attachment Theory based psychotherapist who believes that our earliest experiences and primary relationships impact us in deep ways that follow throughout our lifetime.
I also draw heavily from Psychodynamic Theory, which focuses on self-examination of our greatest blocks, themes, and beliefs of life, sometimes from the unconscious parts of our minds.
I would consider myself a "process" therapist; this means that my focus is not to change you. Instead, my focus is to help you deeply connect with yourself and change patterns in yourself and your relationships.
My work is highly relational. It is not only important that I to listen to you, but also that I interact with you and your emotions throughout each session.
My hope is to create an environment in each session where safe, secure, open communication and connection can be fostered.
Together we will pay close attention to the invaluable information that your emotions, patterns, attachments, and traumas provide.
Throughout the therapy experience you should expect to learn how to integrate new awareness of yourself and the patterns in your life and build upon your connection with your inherently valuable self.

- GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES -
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059
