Janel Ruehl

I am a current graduate student of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Oregon State University-Cascades in Bend, Oregon. Having studied mindfulness for more than a decade, I am very interested in the intersection of body-based self-awareness with cognitive and behavioral theories of change. I utilize a systems approach to counseling, based on the Restoration Therapy Model, supporting clients to see and appreciate the ways they are both impacted by and impacting others in their systems of family and community. I love working with individuals, couples, and families to uncover insights about the patterns that are keeping you stuck in suffering and working together to discover how to move forward with long-lasting change.
