Kaiser Alan, LCSW, PMHNP

Mindfulness informed psychotherapy and medication management for those with interpersonal problems such as marriage, dating and finding the right person, distressing emotional experiences such as anxiety, despair, anger, depression, and Bipolar disorder, behavioral problems such as ADHD, planning, setting goals, as well as problems related to a lack of personal meaning, confusion about values, and finding and developing a spiritual path. Established in 1989. After graduating from UC Berkeley with an MSW and completing a post-graduate internship I opened my practice in Los Gatos, CA where I primarily worked with children, adolescents and families. I moved my practice to Portland, OR in 1992, obtained a second graduate degree--psychiatric nurse practitioner--from OHSU and began prescribing medications in 1996. I have been a serious meditator since the mid-80's and more recently have incorporated meditation and mindfulness techniques, where appropriate, into my practice.
