Therapy for Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA)
Therapy in-person Beaverton, Oregon — Online in Oregon & Washington
Growing up with a parent who struggled with alcohol or substance use can have a lasting impact—long after childhood is over.
Many Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) learn to become responsible, quiet, caretaking, or hyper-independent at an early age. You may look strong on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, uncertain, or disconnected from your true self. Therapy can help you begin to untangle these patterns so you can finally feel safe, grounded, and whole.
I provide in-person and trauma-informed therapy for Adult Children of Alcoholics Beaverton, Oregon, and online therapy throughout Oregon and Washington. Together, we’ll work gently and at your pace to help you understand where these patterns came from—and begin to build a more secure, peaceful inner world.
If you grew up with a parent who misused alcohol or substances, you may still be carrying the emotional impact today — even if you rarely talk about it. Maybe you learned early on to stay quiet, stay alert, and take care of everyone else. Maybe you became the responsible one, the strong one, or the invisible one. On the outside, you look put-together. On the inside, you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you really are.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep carrying this by yourself. As a child, you may have learned to:
Stay invisible to avoid conflict
Take care of others emotionally or physically
Predict mood swings or danger
Suppress your own needs
Work hard to “keep the peace”
Feel responsible for other people’s feelings
These skills once protected you. But as an adult, they may no longer serve you—and may even hold you back from feeling safe in relationships, trusting yourself, or fully enjoying your life.
