MIKE GRANT

I'm a therapist, running coach, and someone who has covered a lot of ground — literally and otherwise.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, LICSW, CADC II) in Oregon and Washington, with a Master's in Social Work from Portland State University. I also work as a therapist at a Portland-area hospital, lead community runs with RUN TRG Portland, and coach runners through Wy'east Wolfpack.

I've finished four 100-mile ultramarathons and more races than I can honestly keep count of at this point. The running isn't something I mention to seem relatable — it shaped how I think about performance, regulation, and what it actually takes to keep moving when everything in you wants to stop. Those miles are in the work.

My own recovery journey is part of this too. I know what it feels like to work against yourself — and I know what it looks like when that changes. That experience is a big part of why this practice exists.

I specialize in EMDR and Brainspotting — therapies that work directly with the brain and body to process what talk therapy alone often can't reach. I use these alongside a framework I've developed called the 4 R's: Regulate, Risk, Repeat, and when needed, Reprocessing. It works for athletes, adolescents, high performers, and anyone navigating the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

I'm not the therapist who nods quietly for 45 minutes. I engage, I ask hard questions, and I'll occasionally say something that makes you laugh in the middle of a hard conversation — because that's real, and real is where the work happens.

If you're ready to get unstuck, I'd like to help.
