Accident and Concussion Counseling for Oregon City-Area Patients
With Dr. Manesha Ram, PsyD
Recovery after a crash is not only physical. Dr. Ram helps our patients with the mental and cognitive side of injury, including concussion symptoms, accident-related anxiety and PTSD, and the stress of a long recovery.
Whole-person care from one team
Dr. Manesha Ram is a doctoral-level clinician (Doctor of Clinical Psychology, George Fox University) who helps people with the mental and emotional side of injury recovery. Her approach is warm, relational, and trauma-informed. Working from a psychodynamic and narrative perspective, she helps you understand how past and present experiences shape the way you think and feel, change the patterns that keep you stuck, and get back to feeling like yourself. She works with adults on concussion recovery, accident-related anxiety and PTSD, depression, grief, and major life transitions.
Dr. Ram is a resident psychologist working toward licensure in the state of Oregon, under the supervision of David Kays, PsyD.
Telehealth only: Dr. Ram sees patients by secure telehealth, from anywhere in Oregon. All scheduling for Dr. Ram is handled through our Milwaukie clinic. Call (503) 919-7001 or book online below.
