Nora Church, LPC, LMHC

Nora Church is a licensed professional counselor based in Portland, OR, with more than 20 years of experience in counseling and case management. She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including parenting challenges, grief, and addiction, and has supported many who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Her clinical focus includes grief therapy for children and families, a specialization she pursued during graduate school.

Nora's background includes work with children in school-based settings and day treatment programs, as well as supporting parents through foster care, adoption, and the demands of parenting a child with a disability. Those experiences inform a practice that blends therapeutic listening with practical case management skills to help families and individuals navigate transitions and difficult moments.

In session, Nora listens closely to each person’s story and creates a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where people can feel heard and understood. She avoids stigmatizing labels and prioritizes moving at a pace that feels right for the individual or family. Nora invites clients to explore the insights and changes that can make life more fulfilling and approaches that work collaboratively to identify steps forward.
