Pine Light Counseling

Be seen, move your story forward

Therapy and support for the whole you

- Welcome to Pine Light Counseling! - - Counseling Specializing in Support for Grief, Trauma, Illness - - Post-Graduate Supervision for WA LMHCAs & LMFTAs -
We all hold the capacity to grow and move toward a life of health and happiness. Social, cultural, and family systems influence our perspective, and how we connect to ourselves and with those around us. Sometimes we feel stuck, stretched thin, or hollowed by grief or trauma or years of stress that haven't had space to breathe. Sometimes we need to heal from -- or at least learn to carry -- past traumas or losses, whether from the death of someone close, a future we envisioned, a critical illness diagnosis, or our changing world. In other words, context matters. When recent circumstances are challenging, or aspects of the past need to be reconciled and faced, together we explore ways to reconnect with the body, your story, and your strength through trauma informed, somatic, and mindfulness-based therapy. I provide therapy for a wide range of adult individuals, and specialize in supporting those navigating grief, trauma, illness/medical trauma (including cancer and autoimmune conditions), and the accompanying stressors and impacts. I am trauma certified and EMDR trained. Sessions are offered virtually throughout Oregon and Washington. I am also a Clinical Supervisor for Washington LMHCAs andLMFTAs.
Current Availability
All counseling sessions and supervision are conducted virtually to make therapy more accessible, flexible, and comfortable. If you’re located anywhere in Oregon or Washington, we can work together. Reach out via email to ask about open slots or waitlist status.

About Kir Rian
These beautiful, unpredictable, messy moments of life shape us, and I've learned that defining who we are through these moments helps us build the life we want ongoing. It's hard work. I help people navigate and sift through it all, and I believe in a mindfulness-based, collaborative approach. I am a trauma-informed fully licensed LPC in Oregon and LMHC in Washington. I am also certified as a trauma therapist and EMDR trained. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Certification in Trauma Response Services, and a Masters in Fine Arts. With 20+ years working across grief, trauma, and community healing, I’ve led groups, taught, and held space for people navigating deep pain and deep resilience. My work is grounded in mindfulness, somatics, and collaborative care. I use she/her pronouns and welcome clients of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities. I am also a Clinical Supervisor for post-graduate LMCAs & LMFTAs in Washington. I deeply value these supervisory relationships, and the growth and learning that goes both ways.
