The Dalles Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Julian Montanez

I frequently work with adults managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder who want collaborative care. I take time to understand how symptoms impact your daily life, carefully considering factors like work demands, sleep patterns, and overall wellness goals. By combining my medical expertise with a holistic understanding of your life, we develop medication strategies that align with your needs.

Kirby Orr

My clients seek medication management or psychological testing for conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD. They may be struggling to find the right medication combination or need clarity about their diagnosis through comprehensive testing. I work well with individuals who are committed to their treatment plan, open to medication adjustments, and willing to provide honest feedback about their symptoms.

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.

Eric Goodwin

You’re feeling stuck in familiar patterns of shame and self-criticism, and it’s hard to tap into your strengths when you need them most. Whether it's the weight of anxiety or the impact of prejudice and discrimination, especially toward the LGBTQ+ community, it feels overwhelming and you feel vulnerable and out-of-touch with your own voice. You’re ready for help and deserve support as you take steps toward healing and growth—you don’t have to go through this alone.

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.

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.

Sarah Sumner

I’m so glad you’re here- it takes courage to ask for help, and I’m honored to be considered. I believe that people already have exactly what they need to heal. I enjoy working with a range of clients and specialize in assisting individuals and couples who are neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and/or adult survivors of complex trauma and their partners navigate anxiety, depression, communication issues, and cultivate healthy sexuality. I am also kink/BDSM affirming and poly/ethical non-monogamy affirming.

Blake Locher

You may feel entrenched in old, ineffective patterns that are difficult to break. You may feel confused or directionless due to unexpected crisis. You may be adjusting to a change in your physical, mental, or social abilities. Or you may feel that something is wrong without even knowing what the problem is. I provide mental health counseling for individuals in the Portland area so they can navigate these kinds of transitions and answer their inner call for change.

Kelsey Huber

Through our work together we can help release stuck patterns and increase understanding. I specialize in complex trauma treatment, behavior change, maladaptive coping strategies, anxiety, and depression. I believe in looking at the whole self through a lens of kindness and self-compassion. We will examine and break down the roots of why you're not feeling fully satisfied with your life and we'll partner together to move towards healing and strength in both a comfortable and challenging manner.

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.

Laura Sendelbach

*Currently accepting new couples only* I work with people experiencing attachment injuries and disconnection. I view mental health symptoms within the context of prolonged disconnection from the self and others. When prolonged disconnection, suffering, and trauma occur, mental health symptoms like anxiety, depression, and those related to PTSD can arise. Those I work with often experience these symptoms, as well as shame, diminished self-worth, anger, fear, issues within relationships, etc.

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.

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.

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.

Carina Hartley

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.

Jennie Hagen

I love helping people look at old patterns of coping and interacting in the world, and seeing how those patterns influence their daily life. I work well with people who want to go under the surface of what's going on and look at what may be lurking underneath. This can understandably bring up some feelings of apprehension, and we will always go at a pace that feels right and safe for you. You're in the driver's seat, and I'm helping to navigate.

Nic Sutherland

I work with clients experiencing break ups, new relationships, current and past trauma, disconnection from self and others, disconnection from creativity and meaning, or other transitions in self and situation. My clients are queer, kinky, non-monogamous, monogamous, getting together, splitting up, launching careers; if you're experiencing a new season of life, I am here to support you through it.
