Portland Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Susan Ponton

My clients range from adults to teens to kids. They might be interested in processing current and past emotions, feelings of depression or anxiety, exploring gender and identify, learning skills to cope with and regulate their own emotions or helping kids with theirs, and growing in their understanding of themselves and their needs.

Eric Goodwin

You’re feeling overwhelmed and stuck, falling into familiar patterns that aren't working. When you need to tap into your strengths to push through you’re finding feelings of shame and self-criticism and then you shut down. These experiences can be deeply felt after experiences with prejudice and discrimination directed toward the LGBTQIA+ community. You've tried braving it on your own and are ready for help as you take steps toward healing. You don't have to do this alone.

Kendra Hollingsworth

I enjoy facilitating reconnection from a place of playfulness and open curiosity. The types of clients I typically work with are those struggling with identity, family wounds, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, LGBTQA+ issues, relational struggles, and those who do not feel they fit into a prescribed box.

Julie Osburne

I may be a good fit for you if you want to better understand how your unconscious experiences are influencing your day-to-day life. Through mindfulness practices (non-judgmental observation of self) and somatic awareness (mind-body connection), we discover and work through internal conflicts that may be influencing patterns in your life. I support you in untangling codependent dynamics, and experiencing greater authenticity and clarity within your relationships.

Megan Campbell

I view my clients as the experts of their own lives, experience(s), and self. I believe we each carry the "answer(s)" we need most within, but are not always taught how to get there or how to tune into ourselves. During our time together, you will be given an opportunity to explore and "be with" yourself in potentially deeper and new ways. I believe the exploration of self is interwoven with the unfolding of our life.

Lexi Gross

Chronic illness is one heck of a roller coaster. Often my clients don't realize how much they have adjusted their day to day life to manage their chronic illness. The additional practices, doctor appointments, diet considerations, life changes can catch up and while these practices help manage symptoms, it often leaves my clients exhausted and feeling alone.

Norma Nance

While I’ve worked with clients from all different kinds of communities, I’m particularly passionate about supporting people who are working through sexual shame, navigating ethical non-monogamy, and those who identify as queer/BIPOC. I believe that community is at the core of our being. Despite that, relationships (platonic, romantic, or otherwise) are complicated. Navigating challenges that arise and staying curious can allow you to find ways to heal and discover your truth.

Lucius Wheeler

My clients are often looking for a sense of direction and perspective as they go through significant life transitions. They may feel disillusioned with their work or relationships, or struggle to let go of habits that don't serve them anymore. They have a sense that a different way is possible, but are not sure how to get there. Some are just taking the first steps towards change, and others are already on their path and want support as they learn from and integrate their experiences.
