About Chebon Porter, PhD

My name is Chebon Porter, and I have been a licensed clinical psychologist for 25 years. I am licensed in Alabama and Oregon, and all of my sessions are delivered virtually. 

I have been fortunate to have served countless teenagers, parents, young adults, professionals, military veterans, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. As different as we all are, what we have in common is at the very least, we just want a little more peace. This can mean different things for each of us. Whether it's managing the stress of high-pressure job or education, dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, substance use, or facing any number of the difficult cards life can deal out, there’s always a way to find peace or create change. 

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy for Trauma. I believe in the power of shifting your relationship with your thoughts to effect change in your emotions and behaviors. 

Outside of my professional work, I find my own peace through the outdoors. I enjoy skiing, hiking, hunting, and fishing and basically anything in nature.

My Values

Courage

Everyone feels afraid at times. Courage is what we learn to do in the face of fear.  

Authenticity

It doesn't matter if the way you look, think, or 'be' is like other people or not.  What matters is whatever it is, it's your own.

Compassion

Compassion begins with, "Of course."  "Of course" I did something, think something, said something.  Am I willing to learn how let go of judgments, shame, and guilt? 

Acceptance

Acceptance isn't submission. It's the great power to face everything as it is and determine our course from there.
