About Us

Hi, it's me, Joella!

Founder of Cascadia Family Therapy

After more than a decade in private practice, I witnessed how the pandemic made it even harder for people to find qualified, compassionate therapists.

Seeing this struggle inspired me to double down on Cascadia Family Therapy. A place where clients can find the care and connection they need in an increasingly complex world.

At Cascadia Family Therapy we’re committed to:

  • Building collaborative, trusting relationships that honor your lived experience.
  • Offering highly skilled therapists who understand unique complexities and adapt therapy to create lasting change.
  • Taking a whole-person approach that looks beyond symptoms and diagnoses.

Joella Long founded Cascadia Family Therapy in Bend Oregon in 2015 with the dream of offering a vital resource to the community she fell in love with on a family vacation in 1992.

Central Oregon’s beautiful landscape draws people from all over the world and though we may all brag that “your vacation is my life” it doesn’t exclude us from the social, emotional and psychological struggles human beings face. Joella is passionate about gathering themes and data in her and her clinicians work to continually improve at serving the community.

Cascadia Family Therapy’s mission is to provide culturally informed systemic mental health care with the heart of a teacher empowering our clients and clinicians with the skills and tools to live their best lives.There isn’t time in session for long winded complaints or arguments between you and your family members. We are focused on pinpointing and highlighting the exact interactional pattern or patterns that may be leading to symptoms like depression, anxiety or general relationship struggles.
