SAWYER SALAMEH
Licensed Professional Counselor
I grew up in a small town in Oregon, where I learned the importance of community and the struggles it brings. I received my bachelors in Sociology at Portland State University and my masters in Marriage and Family Therapy at Lewis and Clark College. I have 7+ years working in the mental health field from foster youth to addictions to PTSD. Growing up in a small town gave me a strong connection to the outside and the woods. When thinking about the place that makes me feel grounded it is always a gnome village.
