Hello PDX Mamas and Families,

My name is Karen Chenier. I am a counselor, group facilitator, dance movement therapist, and a part-time professor at Portland State University's Psychology Department. 

In February, I am offering a New Parents Group (baby and parent(s)) and a Parents Only group.

You shall see various flyers posted up and around the neighborhood in the next week (New Seasons Market, Common Ground Wellness Center, Jim and Patty's Coffee House ect...)  If you wish to receive a informational flyer please call, or email, and I would be happy to send one to you. 

In addtion, I am scheduled to speak on the subject of Mindful Attached Parenting at the New Renaissance Bookstore, NW Portland  on Thursday, April 26th, 7-8:30pm.   

To give you a little background, I have an interest in the creative and somatic aspects of psychotherapy and wellness, and have over 12 years of experience in the field.  I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families in helping to address parenting skills, school/work related problems, relationship issues, marital problems, divorce, and life-transitions, loss, anxiety and depression.  My office is located at Common Ground, Flanders House in NE Portland.

I am very happy to answer any quesitons you may have regarding the groups and services.  You may contact me by phone or email.

Warmly,
Karen

Dear UrbanParents/Caretakers,

As a nanny, I know that your time is valuable and that it is sometimes difficult to get out to run errands with little ones in tow. In addition to caring for some really adorable almost-3-year-olds, I run an all-purpose delivery service in Portland called Whatchoo Need.

We really are all-purpose: We'll be glad to pick up dinner from your favorite place, bring you supplies (diapers! wipes!), grab the few grocery items that you can't quite motivate for, scoop up that rad play pen you found on craigslist when you don't have the time to drive out to Beaverton, drop off your old toys at goodwill, whatever you need!

We charge extremely low delivery fees, enough to cover gas/wear and very very minimally time/labor, and rely on tips, in order to keep our service as accessible as possible. E-mail us at whatchooneed@gmail.com with questions or to place an order, or go ahead and try us out by texting 423.304.8407! (I'm happy to provide more personal information about myself and the other delivery folks, just write with questions!)

Thanks, looking forward to helping you out! We're on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000535624074 and wordpress: whatchooneed.wordpress.com
