About
Craig Parton is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience, offering psychotherapy in Oregon in English. His work is grounded in Somatic Psychology, an approach that highlights how thoughts, emotions, and the body influence one another.
He aims to create a supportive therapeutic space where every part of a person’s experience is met with compassion and respect. Craig works collaboratively, helping clients identify what they need and how to get those needs met more consistently, with the goal of feeling more empowered in daily life. In sessions, he helps clients gently explore vulnerable emotions and older wounds that can show up as self-injuring patterns or unhelpful cycles, and then supports the development of healthier, more sustainable actions.
Craig is known for being kind, clear, and honest. He asks thoughtful questions to help clients examine underlying beliefs and build deeper self-understanding. Alongside conversation, he integrates somatically oriented tools such as mindfulness meditation and body awareness to help clients notice how stress, emotion, and meaning are experienced physically. By learning more about what they do and how they do it, clients can gain more choice in how they want to be in their lives.
Psychotherapy with Craig may include exploring intimacy concerns, looking at unwanted behaviors, or making room for grief and unacknowledged losses. Each session is approached as an opportunity for insight and growth, within a co-created environment where all parts of the client are welcome and curiosity is encouraged.

Somatic Tools and Online Support That Fit Your Life
Craig Parton integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a somatically informed perspective, helping clients notice how emotions, stress, and old patterns can show up in the body as well as in thoughts and behaviors. Somatic approaches often include body awareness and mindfulness meditation, which can support people who feel stuck in anxiety, stress responses, or the aftereffects of painful experiences by building steadier moment-to-moment awareness and choice.He also uses a collaborative, question-driven style to explore underlying beliefs and self-protective patterns. This can be especially helpful when unwanted behaviors, intimacy concerns, or difficult emotions keep repeating, and a client wants clearer insight into what is happening and what changes feel realistic. Therapy may also make space for grief and unacknowledged losses, supporting clients in naming what has been carried alone and finding healthier ways forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig partners with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting the focus as new insights emerge and needs change over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and choose the format that feels most comfortable week to week.
