Therapy By and For the LGBTQ+ Community
For the LGBTQ+ community, finding affirming and understanding mental health care is crucial to navigating the complexities of life with authenticity and pride. It's not just about finding a therapist; it's about finding a therapist who speaks your language, understands your struggles, and champions your identity.
This is where Full Spectrum Therapy comes into the picture, offering a haven for those under the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), including Trillium Community Health Plan and Care Oregon members.
Full Spectrum Therapy stands out as a pillar of support for the LGBTQ+ community in Portland, emphasizing a gender-radical, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist approach to counseling. Their team includes folks from all walks of life, including queer, nonbinary (enby), and transgender therapists who are not just skilled in navigating the nuances of mental health but are also deeply committed to providing a space where individuals feel truly seen and heard.
Why Choose Full Spectrum Therapy?
OHP Coverage: Full Spectrum Therapy proudly accepts OHP insurance, including Trillium Community Health Plan and Care Oregon, ensuring that access to mental health care is barrier-free and inclusive.

“Being autistic, gay, disabled, and a trans man with ADHD made finding a therapy basically impossible. I don’t have to explain myself to my therapist here, they just get it.”
Gender-Radical Approach: Our commitment to a gender-radical framework means that all gender expressions are accepted and celebrated. This approach dismantles binary norms and creates a space for exploring and affirming your true self.
“I am FTM and I love that I can wear makeup and still trust my counselor to get that I am a man.”
Anti-Oppressive and Anti-Racist Therapy: Understanding that mental health is intertwined with societal structures, Full Spectrum Therapy incorporates anti-oppressive and anti-racist practices into their counseling. This ensures a holistic approach to therapy that recognizes and addresses the broader systems impacting the LGBTQ+ community.
“my therapist cares deeply about social justice… I can feel it in every session, not just talk.”
