Trauma & Substance Use Therapy in Bend, Oregon

Supporting adults in Bend, Redmond, Sisters & Sunriver

If you live in Bend or nearby and feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in coping patterns that aren’t helping anymore — you’re not alone.

I work with high-functioning adults who hold a lot together on the outside while carrying stress, trauma, or emotional exhaustion underneath. I offer trauma-informed therapy and EMDR for people who want deeper healing — not just strategies to keep pushing through.

For the Ones Who Are “Doing Fine”… But Don’t Feel Fine

Many clients in Central Oregon come to therapy feeling:

  • constantly stressed or on edge

  • emotionally numb or shut down

  • stuck in overthinking or unable to relax

  • caught in people-pleasing or over-functioning

  • impacted by unresolved trauma

  • questioning their relationship with substances or other coping habits

You don’t have to wait until things fall apart to ask for support.

Together, we gently explore how your nervous system learned to survive — and help it build more safety, flexibility, and choice. I offer trauma, EMDR, and substance use therapy in Bend, Oregon. Many times, these specialties all overlap.

Substance Use Therapy in Bend, Oregon

A Different Way of Looking at Trauma & Coping

Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?” my work focuses on understanding:

  • what your system has been protecting you from

  • how stress and trauma show up in your body

  • why certain coping behaviors once made sense

  • what it’s like to move out of survival mode

This approach is especially supportive for adults who learned early how to be strong, responsible, or self-reliant — and are now ready to soften those patterns.

When You’re Ready

    EMDR Intensives offer focused, extended therapy that fits your life.

Meet Meghan Hanes, LCSW

Hi, I’m Meghan! I work with people who feel stuck in trauma—replaying the past, reacting in ways that feel out of control, or relying on substances or other coping strategies just to get through the day. These responses make sense, but they can start to feel exhausting or limiting over time.

Using EMDR and trauma-informed talk therapy, I help clients process unresolved experiences, calm the nervous system, and develop healthier ways to cope—without judgment and at a pace that feels safe.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR-trained trauma therapist offering trauma therapy for adults in Bend, Oregon and across the state. My practice is fully virtual and available to adults (18+) living in Oregon.
