Imma Royal helps adults and seniors throughout Oregon navigate emotional challenges, life transitions, and mental health concerns with empathy, respect, and evidence-based care. As a Social Worker Associate at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy, group therapy, and case management services for adults seeking support with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Imma believes that healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, and she works collaboratively with patients to create a safe space for self-exploration, growth, and meaningful change. Imma is particularly passionate about attachment-based therapy and helping individuals better understand how early relationships and life experiences influence current emotional patterns, relationships, and coping strategies. She also has a strong interest in supporting individuals living with personality disorders, helping them build greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier interpersonal connections. Her approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and centered on helping patients develop lasting skills that support long-term well-being. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, while also providing care for a range of additional mental health conditions and life challenges. Imma tailors treatment to each individual’s needs using evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based techniques. She recognizes that every person’s story is unique and strives to help patients identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve their personal goals. In addition to therapy, Imma values a holistic approach that considers the many factors influencing mental health. Through therapy and supportive services, she helps patients strengthen resilience, improve coping skills, and navigate important life transitions with greater confidence. Outside of her professional work, Imma enjoys photography, painting, landscaping, hiking, and swimming. These creative and outdoor pursuits reflect her appreciation for mindfulness, self-expression, and maintaining balance in daily life.
