Portland Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Alexa Adams

Have you have lost the spark in your relationship? Are struggling through conflict and strain? Are being impacted by childhood trauma and attachment concerns? Possibly you are hoping to strengthen an already strong relationship? We all bring our unique selves, our pasts, and family histories into each relationship. It can be challenging to find balance and harmony with so many different factors interacting with each other. Using a collaborative approach, I can help clear the pathway forward.

If you're feeling lost, disconnected, or struggling to find your groove in the world: I hear you. I bet there are also ways that you are yearning to express yourself; to be deeply seen and supported. Are you hoping to show up in relationships authentically? Embrace parts of your identity that are exciting and scary unknowns? Make sense of past experiences? I'm here to hold space for whatever is present for you - whether it's mental health stuff, gender/sexuality, or life in general.

Many of my clients come to me for support on their trauma healing journeys, expressing a desire to break cycles, set boundaries, and develop a stronger sense of identity, self worth, and trust in themselves. I love guiding people toward more authentic and fulfilling relationships. I welcome clients of all identities (more on that below) and those attending therapy for the first time or the 50th time.

And whether you want to address specific concerns or process trauma, grief, or life transitions, I will work collaboratively with you to uncover patterns, internal stories, and roadblocks that hinder your movement towards healing and growth.

James Reling

My typical clients seeking assessments are late-diagnosed adults who are on a quest for self-discovery within the realm of neurodivergence. Many have faced the frustration of previous misdiagnoses, while others carry a hunch based on their own research or discussions with peers. This diverse group consists of individuals who range from being comfortable with self-diagnosis to those who yearn for the validation and precision that a professional assessment can provide.

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.

I also offer one-time assessment and letters of support to folx seeking gender-affirming medical care.

Timothy Rasmussen

I enjoy clients from all backgrounds. I seem to have strong connections with those who identify as kinky, polyamorous, LGBTQ+, or formerly religious and who are wanting to navigate those spaces in a more fulfilling way. Belonging to all four of these communities, I have experienced many of the complex feelings that come with living in a way that is not always understood or recognized. I like helping people find new stories to tell about their lives and new ways to live. Be seen. Be heard.
