Dale Nader M.S.W., L.C.S.W.

I began working in the Mental Health and Chemical Dependency fields in 1981.

I have worked primarily in community-based, not-for-profit agencies, and have worked as a therapist, a clinical supervisor, a clinical director, and as an administrator at various points throughout my career.

My theoretical approach to counseling is a Cognitive-Behavioral approach which research has shown to be one of the most effective methods of therapy. I also utilize a Family Systems approach, and a Jungian approach as appropriate. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

I moved to the Portland area in August of 2001, and began my private practice in January, 2002.

My office is conveniently located at the Portland Insight Meditation Center on a major public transportation route.

I graduated from Florida State University in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, and in 1987 with a Master of Social Work (clinical).

I was originally licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida in 1989, and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Oregon in 2001. I have been continuously licensed in my field since 1989.
