Affirming Therapy in Portland & Milwaukie | Online Across OR
Healing and inclusive care that’s rooted in community and built on trust.
You deserve a space that truly sees you.
Maybe you're burned out, grieving, or somewhere in the slow and tender work of figuring out who you actually are beneath everything you've had to be in a world that didn't always make space for your particular mind, body, or way of being. Maybe you're neurodivergent, queer, chronically ill, or carrying something that words alone have never quite touched. Whatever it is, however long you've been carrying it, you don't have to make yourself smaller or more palatable here. You get to show up exactly as you are, and be met with genuine curiosity, humility, and care.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We believe healing happens through real, human connection and creative expression.
We're a small team of Oregon-based therapists and counselors who came to this work through a combination of clinical training and lived experience. Many of us know firsthand what it feels like to navigate systems that weren't designed for our minds, bodies, or identities. That shapes everything about how we show up, with humility, with curiosity, and with a deep respect for the fact that you are the expert on your own life.
Here, you won't be asked to fit into a predetermined mold of what therapy is supposed to look like. Some people process through conversation. Others through image-making, movement, metaphor, or silence. We work across a wide range of modalities and communication styles because we know that healing isn't one-size-fits-all, and we take that seriously in practice, not just in principle.

OUR SPECIALTIES
Therapy that meets you where you are, and stays with you while you grow.
-
LGBTQIA+
Whether you're navigating your queer identity, gender transition, family dynamics, non-traditional relationship structures, community belonging, or the particular exhaustion of existing in a world that doesn't always make room for you, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
-
ADHD & Autism
Neurodivergent minds deserve therapy that actually fits. We don't ask you to adapt to therapy. We adapt therapy to you. That means flexible sessions, room for different ways of communicating and processing, and a genuine respect for the way your mind and nervous system actually work.
-
Chronic Illness & Pain
Living with a chronic health condition is its own kind of grief. One that is ongoing, often invisible, and rarely given the space it deserves. We offer care that honors the full complexity of living in a body that requires a little extra tending, without minimizing how pain can impact daily life.
-
Art Therapy
Healing and self-discovery don’t always arrive through words. Sometimes they arrive through color, texture, and the honest act of creating something new. No prior art experience necessary. Just an open mind and willingness to try.
-
CBT for Insomnia
If you've tried everything for sleep and nothing has stuck, CBT-I is the evidence-based approach that gets to the heart of what's keeping you up, so that you can tend to your worries and needs with greater insight and care.
