About Javeen Beard

You Deserve to Feel Great. I’m Here to Help.

I am a psychology resident, and a mental health counselor associate. I work with adult and teens in both individual and group settings in the Vancouver WA area. In the past, I have enjoyed working with clients with a variety of issues including substance use, trauma, and self-worth.

My Background

I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from George Fox University. I have worked at the veteran affairs hospital, community mental health centers, and an inpatient hospital.

I am EMDR trained and have experience in multiple treatment protocols, which include but is not limited to, prolonged exposure, cognitive processing therapy, and parts and memory. I also have experience with a variety of clinical presentations which consist of substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-worth, and grief.

When I’m not working, I enjoy dancing, sewing, crafting, indoor rock climbing, watching movies, and eating ice cream.

My Approach & Philosophy

I work from a client-centered approach, and I meet the client where they are. In our journey together, I hope you feel heard and seen. I value connection and the therapeutic relationship, as I believe these aspects are a part of a client’s success. Sometimes we don’t feel connected to the world around us, or even ourselves. So, as we move through this process, I hope you begin to feel connected. My goal is to help you live life as the best version of yourself.

It is in our darkest moments that we often feel fragile, incapable, and alone. It is also in our darkest moments that we can overcome the greatest challenges, grow, and become the person we are meant to be.

I look forward to working with you on your journey.
