Lily Packer

Lily is a dedicated mental health counselor-in-training, currently pursuing her Master's in Professional Mental Health Counseling at Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling (expected graduation: June 2025). She is an intern practicing under the supervision of Dr. James Thatcher, licensed clinical psychologist (PSY#3386). With a special focus on children, adolescents, and families, Lily brings warmth and expertise to her therapeutic practice.

Specialized Experience with Youth and Families

Lily specializes in supporting children, teens, and their families, particularly those navigating neurodivergence. Her approach is deeply collaborative, working alongside both young clients and their parents to create environments where everyone can thrive. She has developed expertise helping clients with:

  • Childhood and adolescent anxiety and depression

  • Family relationship dynamics

  • Trauma processing and healing

  • Executive functioning challenges

  • Impulsivity management

  • Sensory processing concerns

  • Emotional regulation skills

Therapeutic Approach

Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy frameworks, Lily creates a safe space for young clients and families to explore their experiences with gentleness and curiosity. She is passionate about strengthening family connections and fostering deeper attunement between parents and children.

Lily believes in the transformative power of a systems-based approach, recognizing that sustainable change happens when the entire family system is supported and understood.

Personal Interests

When not in the therapy room, Lily embraces Portland's natural beauty through year-round hiking and summer camping adventures. She's an avid music enthusiast who enjoys exploring Portland's vibrant concert scene. Creative expression remains central to her life through hands-on activities like cooking, baking, and ceramics.
