As a clinic of wellness, we are committed to addressing the impacts of trauma on human functioning.

We believe that trauma is pervasive in the human experience.  We cannot escape its impact and if not addressed, trauma can and will permeate in the world around us – this can include our work, professional life, relationships and physical health.  

How do we avoid it – We don’t.  We charge through it, move around it, and rise above it!

At Oregon Change Clinic (OCC), We strive to help Individuals, Organizations and Communities reduce and/or eliminate re-traumatization occurring in their environment through proven therapies, using the research of thousands, advanced workshops and  whole person wellness.
