Meet Owen Matherly, Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Joyful Living Behavioral Health.

Owen specializes in working with adults 18 and older, with a particular focus on the LGBTQIA+ community, including transgender and gender-diverse clients. The concerns he most commonly works with include PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, and anxiety, as well as patterns like chronic dissociation, codependency, hypervigilance, avoidance, and rumination.

His approach centers safety, depth, and accompaniment. Rather than applying a single framework, Owen draws from multiple modalities including IFS and parts work, psychodynamic therapy, trauma and neurodivergent-informed CBT, DBT, and ACT, shaping the approach collaboratively with each client based on what fits them best.

His philosophy is grounded in something simple but important: no matter what brings someone to therapy, they deserve to be met with honesty, respect, and understanding. His work helps clients slow down, recognize the patterns they have developed over time, and build sustainable change at a pace that actually holds.

Owen is fully licensed in Oregon and Utah and engages in ongoing continuing education in trauma, suicidality, ADHD, ASD, and transgender-informed care.

If you've been thinking about starting therapy, this is your sign to take the next step.

Joyful Living Behavioral Health is currently accepting new clients for immediate openings. That means no waitlist! You can get started now instead of later.

Individual therapy involves working one-on-one with a licensed clinician in a confidential, supportive setting where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and life challenges at your own pace.

It's a good fit for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and patterns that feel hard to break on your own.

At Joyful Living Behavioral Health, therapists approach each client as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. We take the time to understand where you are in your life, where you want to be, and how to support you in getting there.

Sessions are available in person at our Eugene, Oregon office and via telehealth for Oregon residents.

Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are more connected than we often realize. Cognitive behavioral therapy is built around exploring exactly how.

At Joyful Living Behavioral Health, CBT is a structured, practical approach that may include recognizing unhelpful thought patterns, building coping skills, problem-solving, and practicing relaxation or mindfulness techniques. It's collaborative by design, shaped around your individual concerns and goals.

Take a look through the slides above to see what a CBT-focused approach may include. Visit our website to learn more or request an appointment!

Kids don't always have the words for what they're feeling, and that's okay. Play gives them another way to communicate and express it.

At Joyful Living Behavioral Health, play therapy is a developmentally appropriate approach that uses art, storytelling, role-playing, music, and therapeutic games to support children in expressing their thoughts and experiences. Every session is shaped around the child in front of us, their age, their preferences, and what they need most out of the session.

If you've been wondering what play therapy actually looks like, take a look through the slides above. Have questions about whether this could be a fit for your child? Visit our website to learn more.

Trauma can affect much more than a single moment or memory. It can influence how you think, respond to stress, connect with others, and move through everyday life.

Everyone's experience with trauma is different, which is why healing is not one-size-fits-all. Trauma-informed therapy creates a safe space to better understand your experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward lasting healing at a pace that feels right for you.

At Joyful Living Behavioral Health, our clinicians provide compassionate, evidence-based trauma therapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Whether you are navigating recent experiences or long-standing challenges, you do not have to do it alone.

We offer in-person appointments in Eugene and secure telehealth throughout Oregon.

Meet Lisa Oland, Licensed Professional Counselor at Joyful Living Behavioral Health!

Lisa brings 15 years of experience in the helping field and specializes in OCD, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and substance use disorders. She works with teens and adults from age 13 to 70 and is highly trained in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy, one of the most evidence-based treatments available for OCD. Her work also draws from CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and self-compassion.

Lisa practices from a social justice lens, with an awareness of how systems of power and oppression shape mental health. She is LGBTQIA+ affirming, has specific training in working with trans and gender-diverse clients, and provides letters for gender-affirming medical care.

Her approach to therapy is collaborative rather than directive. She shows up with humility, authenticity, and a genuine understanding of how hard it can be to ask for help or to trust that things can be different. Her role, in her own words, is to help you explore your experience, identify what matters most to you, and support you in making meaningful, values-driven changes.
