Professional Referrals

Professional referrals for holistic care after injury, doctors looking at chart

Last year I was severely injured in a car crash. Out of that experience, I’ve found a new passion for providing holistic care to those suffering pain and trauma from motor-vehicle accidents. I have also developed a network of the best accident-care providers in the area—neurologists, massage therapists, psychologists, etc. One of the greatest impediments to my recovery was just finding the practitioners who could best treat me. I’d like to ask your help connecting accident victims to the help they need.

Do you know a professional working in health care or legal services whose patients or clients might benefit from Be Well Acupuncture’s services? We would be happy to connect with primary-care physicians, X-ray technicians, orthopedic surgeons, personal-injury lawyers, body-shop owners or technicians, and anyone who may know people involved in auto accidents. If you can put us in touch, we will do the rest.

Please send the name and contact information of a professional you trust to BeWellPortland@gmail.com, and please include a brief comment as to why you think they might know people who would benefit from Acupuncture after a motor-vehicle accident. I will reach out to them directly (and maybe drop your name if that’s okay with you).

Let’s be creative to get the people who need pain relief the support they need. Thank you!

Together in health,
Dessa

Tasha Searles

(she/they)

advanced practice nurse

Tasha Searles, APRN, AGCNS-BC is a Queer, Autistic, ADHDer with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome + some other commonly co-occurring conditions. Originally from Indiana, they now reside in Portland, Oregon with their two rambunctious cats. Tasha enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, learning, and finding new ways to be creative.

 

Professionally, Tasha is trained as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (a type of advanced practice nurse, similar to a Nurse Practitioner), and has been a nurse for over a decade —mostly working with individuals impacted by chronic or complex health conditions. They started in diabetes care and became a Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist, so much of their work has been related to diabetes and nutrition. They also spent many years as a Nurse Navigator helping clients navigate the healthcare system. Their personal health journey, and realization of the huge gaps in available care, led them to shift their professional practice to serve others on similar journeys as their own.

 

Tasha has been told she’s inquisitive and “a very good detective”. Being curious, digging deep, and thinking outside of the box (all while keeping the whole picture in mind) are really her favorite things in this life. Tasha’s style in working with patients is as a consultant & coach. She believes you are the expert in your own self and aims to empower you, provide hope, and help you to use your own innate wisdom to live your best life!

 

Tasha’s goal is to create a safer space for all to receive appropriate healthcare that is affirming & accommodating of individual needs; a space that encourages exploration and self-determination of what wellness & thriving mean in your individual life. They practice from a trauma informed perspective that is neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, disability, & HAES affirming. Tasha is able to order diagnostic tests and prescribe medications, but also works with clients on nervous system safety, nutrition, hydration, gut health, musculoskeletal health & movement, sleep, mental & emotional health, stress management, creating a life they love, finding joy, & more.

 

Tasha is available for telehealth consultations for Oregon Health Plan members and is accepting new patients ages 16 & up. Because all visits are conducted virtually, Tasha does not serve as a Primary Care Provider (PCP).
