About Brad Cohn, PHD, Licensed Psychologist, Owner

I am a native of Colorado. In 2006, I moved to Oregon to start graduate school at the University of Oregon. I graduated from the U of O with a Doctorate in School Psychology. While in school I completed two years of practicum in various school settings in the Eugene and Springfield areas as well as a full-time internship at North Clackamas School District in the Portland suburbs as a School Psychology Intern. I completed an advanced practicum at the Child and Family Center at the U of O. Following graduation, I spent several years working in community mental health clinics serving individuals with all types of needs. In 2015, I co-founded Madrone Mental Health Services, an agency which provides day-treatment and intensive outpatient treatment for individuals with eating disorders, as well as outpatient therapy for individuals with all mental health needs. After running that agency for four years I started my own private practice, Invictus Therapy and Consultation, in the fall of 2019.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, writing, watching sports, and doing home improvement projects. I am a dog lover and avid Duck fan.

About Kristie Reisig, CSW Associate (Works in the Bend office)

I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I was recognized as a UNC Child Welfare Collaborative Scholar and recipient of the Annie Kizer Bost Award. With a Bachelor of Social Work from Mars Hill University, I bring a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise to my practice.

When not at work, I can usually be found in my backyard tending my garden and chickens (doggies, too!). In my free time, I enjoy paddleboarding, listening to live music, reading and spending time with friends and family.  

About Morgan Wardwell, LCSW

I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from Texas State University in 2002 with an emphasis on Direct Practice after having already worked in the field for almost 10 years, becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2009. While working for the U.S. Army I also received extensive education and training as an instructor, facilitator and mediator. At this time I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years, practicing in Texas, Iowa, Illinois and Oregon, also having lived on three continents and worked extensively with LGBTQIA+, Native American, Asian, Middle-Eastern and alternative faith populations. As such I have been fortunate to work with a wide range of clients who have experienced a number of issues that include those related to veteran and military-related affairs, LGBTQIA+, autism, cultural differences, developmental disabilities, trauma and grief, and life transitions. My preferred therapeutic approaches of practice are Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Family Systems models as I believe these enable my clients to begin utilizing their strengths and experiencing a positive change from the first session.

About Shannon Beard, LCSW (Works in Salem Office)

The road to where I am now has been paved with some pretty amazing stops along the way. 18 years ago, I bailed on my plans for law school and moved to Portland, swan diving into mental health and crisis work. I began with the state level of care for children and adolescents, then with adolescents who have problematic behavior. The next chapters saw residential, going to grad school, and then 6 years working inside youth correctional facility providing treatment for young men aged 18-25 serving sentences between 10 years to life. Somewhere along the way I completed licensure for my LCSW and eventually shifted into rural healthcare providing therapy to patients aged 3-102 for anything from general anxiety to End of Life planning, to Alzheimer’s. Additionally, I have provided expert testimony in court proceedings on abusive behavior of all types (including crime convicted charges), domestic violence, and trauma, throughout all these years.

Now I am ready to continue providing therapy for you. As you consider me for your needs I’ll share with you, my approach. I believe that life is hard, and therapy can be really hard, but our time and space together shouldn’t be. I work to create an environment that’s as comfortable as possible for you. I’m here to help you be successful in the world as it exists for you, and YOU define what success means for you. You drive the car; I just hold the map and point out scenery along the way. So come in, bring your snacks, kick your feet up and let’s focus on your vision for you. Be well, talk soon.

About Cindy Rojas Villagomez, Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Is your child struggling at home or in school? Are you looking for support as you navigate parenting challenges? Hoping to change the way your family communicates with one another? As a systemically trained Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, my therapy focus is on identifying ways to better cope with the problems life can bring. I believe therapy should be a brave space wherein we can collaborate to achieve the hopes you have. My experience prior to my therapy career is diverse, as my background includes working with all types of clients from residential facilities to preschools. These opportunities I’ve had professionally and personally have allowed me to see individuals and families from rural settings, working with OYA or DHS, split custody, sudden guardianship, loss of a partner or parent, large families, mixed documentation status families, children who are hurting themselves or others, resource or foster families, and more. These humbling experiences have created in me a core belief: no one client is the same, and each requires a unique approach to treatment.  

As my work centers around addressing the means of coping as the problem, rather than the problem itself, there’s always hope for change. During our time together, you can expect me to pull from Internal Family Systems and Satir therapies, with an emphasis on how the body carries trauma and Motivational Interviewing techniques. When working with my younger clients, I will often use art and play therapies as well. A local community member and ‘Double Duck’, I graduated from the University of Oregon in 2023 with my Bachelor of Arts in Family and Human Services and in 2025 with my Master of Science in Couples and Family Therapy.  Please reach out if you would like to consult with me directly and see if we are a good fit. También ofrezco servicios en español.
