About Jaye
Jaye Bahre is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of work in mental health. She moved from early careers and parenting into counseling and has built a practice that centers on collaboration and practical skills. Jaye speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on what clients want to change. She highlights depression among the issues she helps people with and often combines skills teaching with mindfulness work.
Before moving into private practice, Jaye spent many years in forensic and community mental health across the Pacific Northwest. That path included group work, supporting people diagnosed with serious mental illness, and roles in correctional and county facilities. Those experiences shaped her direct, steady approach to clinical work.
Her counseling style is client-centered with an emphasis on solution-focused tools and mindfulness. Sessions often include exercises, journaling, and skills practice aimed at distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns. She aims to meet people where they are and build practical steps forward together.
Jaye is experienced working with identity and LGBTQ concerns and brings attention to intimacy, relationship, and communication issues. She also lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, bipolar, ADHD, and other challenges among her focus areas. Her background includes work with diverse populations and a long history of teaching skills to support daily functioning.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys outdoor adventures, mushroom growing, writing group materials, and life with her wife and dog. Jaye describes her role as part teacher and part guide, helping people translate insight into concrete change.
