Psychotherapy Practice – Melinda Halpern Counseling and Psychotherapy

Published Read 2 min read

Located at 740 NW Colorado Ave in Bend, Oregon, Melinda Halpern Counseling and Psychotherapy serves individuals, couples, and athletes through a range of clinical and specialized therapeutic offerings. Melinda Halpern holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (MS, LPC, CPAT, PC), is an Oregon-licensed Psychedelic Facilitator, a trained ketamine-assisted therapist, and a Level 2 EMDR therapist since 2006. She is additionally trained as a Level 2 PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) therapist.

The practice offers traditional counseling modalities including EMDR and behavioral therapies alongside psychedelic-assisted therapy with psilocybin conducted at licensed facilities. In-office ketamine-assisted therapy using sublingual doses is also available. Integration work following psychedelic or ketamine sessions is provided, aimed at helping clients apply and consolidate insights from those experiences into daily life and longer-term wellbeing objectives.

Specialties addressed include trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, suicidality, and existential distress. The PACT couples therapy training supports attachment-based and neurobiologically informed work with couples navigating relational difficulties.

A distinct service line, GritPerformance, is offered for athletes of all ages and ability levels, combining Halpern’s coaching experience with brain-based therapeutic techniques to support performance, resilience, and psychological wellbeing in both competitive and recreational athletic settings.

Sessions are conducted in-person at the Bend, Oregon office. Halpern’s professional background includes prior work in wilderness instruction, adventure-based counseling, and school-district settings serving children and families, informing a clinically grounded and experientially diverse treatment perspective. The practice’s combination of EMDR (since 2006), PACT couples therapy, Oregon-licensed psilocybin facilitation, and ketamine-assisted therapy positions it within the growing field of psychedelic-assisted and trauma-focused care available in licensed outpatient settings. The GritPerformance athletic component reflects an expanded scope beyond traditional clinical therapy, addressing the psychological dimensions of athletic performance and recovery through the same brain-based lens applied in clinical work. Specific insurance details and telehealth availability are not stated on the practice website.
