COME BACK HOME TO YOURSELF
Eco-Somatic Therapy for Adults in Oregon and California
Hi, I’m Dr. Kip Williams (he/they)—
but most people call me Kip.
I’m here to help you step out of the endless hustle of analyzing, fixing, and trying to figure it all out. You may be here because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want to feel more like yourself again—not by avoiding what hurts, but by finding a way to live alongside it with more freedom, connection, and aliveness.
You may have already read the books, listened to the podcasts, done the journaling, gone to therapy, learned the jargon, and become extremely good at explaining why you feel the way you do. And still…here you are. Insight alone often doesn’t shift the patterns that live in the body and nervous system.
When you learn to notice those patterns as they’re unfolding—through sensation, emotion, thought, impulse, and relationship—you can stay closer to what you’re feeling without disappearing into it, and discover new ways of responding that feel more grounded, alive, and true to you.
This work is an invitation to get beneath the story and make change from the bottom up. Through embodied practice and relational inquiry, we’ll meet what’s here with curiosity and compassion, listen for what wants attention, and create more space for connection—with yourself, others, and the living world around us.
As a queer white therapist, I offer affirming care that honors the diversity and resilience of LGBTQIA2S+ lives.
WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR ADULTS
In-person sessions are available at my office in NW Portland (Slabtown). Teletherapy is offered by Zoom for clients located anywhere in Oregon or California. Curious what therapy with me is like? Learn more here.
OUTDOOR ECOTHERAPY
Who said therapy has to take place in an office or on a screen? I offer outdoor sessions for nature lovers year-round on accessible trails in or around Portland. Learn more about working outdoors.
KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY
When clinically appropriate and held therapeutically, ketamine may support profound shifts in perspective and well-being. I offer KAP sessions at my office in NW Portland. Learn more about this work.
CONSCIOUS CANNABIS GROUP
Cannabis is everywhere these days, but there aren’t many spaces to engage with it consciously. This online group is for adults 25+ who already connect with cannabis. Learn more about our next group.
BREATHE WITH ME
This short guided practice is a trauma-sensitive introduction to breath awareness. For the next 5 minutes, we'll explore the skill of simply noticing what's here as a way of coming back into contact with yourself and the present moment.
WORK WITH ME
Interested in working together? When you’re ready, the first step is to set up a free 20-minute consultation over Zoom. We can discuss what draws you to this work, answer any questions you have, and explore whether it feels like a good fit.
