Individual Counseling
Do you feel like there never enough time to connect with yourself? Do you feel weighed down by day-to-day demands, or pulled in too many directions?
Therapy can help you learn to be more present and improve your quality of life. For adolescents and adults, one on one support can address your concerns and identify any negative thought patterns and other barriers standing in the way of you and your ultimate well being.
Teen Counseling
While many teens struggle with self-confidence or other issues as they are growing up, sometimes those challenges can become overwhelming. Teens, like all of us, need support, acceptance, and encouragement. We support teens through LGBTQ+ identity exploration, including gender identity support.
Child Counseling
Does your child worry a lot, seem weighed down or sad, or need help working through big feelings? Our approach is supportive, warm, and fun to help kids feel better. Through an approach that includes play, talk, and creative therapy, counseling can address the challenges a child faces while supporting their developmental needs. We work with gender creative children at any stage in gender identity exploration, from questioning and beyond.
Family Counseling
Parenting can be tough, especially when facing the extra challenges of building and sustaining a unique family. If your family is experiencing issues related to alternative family building, unique family structures, foster care, or adoption, we can provide support. In family therapy sessions, we will work collaboratively to discover family strengths, deepen empathy, and build problem-solving skills through talking, playing, games, or art-making.
Relationship Counseling
Are you finding it difficult to communicate with your partner(s)? Do you feel like you’re stuck in patterns that are preventing your relationship from growing? Are you planning for a big life shift, such as a move, a marriage, or family-building? Our therapists are exquisitely trained to help you break through barriers to achieve greater connection and resilience in your relationship.
Evaluations for Gender-Affirming Medical Care
Our clinicians have profound first-hand knowledge about the communities they serve. This means we understand the pain that the gatekeeping model of care has brought to the gender diverse community. Full Spectrum also understands the importance of taking time and care to make the best decisions in each individual’s health journey, especially when working with young people. If you’re seeking an evaluation for gender-related medical care, you’ll find an affirming and understanding community of support at Full Spectrum.
Group Counseling
Group counseling is focused on learning information and coping skills while building community and reducing isolation. Clients find hope and community in our groups, while also learning about valuable community resources from peers and group leaders.
Art Therapy
Our trained art therapists offer evidence-based specialized artistic approaches that support healing and identity exploration. Many clients find art therapy to be helpful for developing a greater sense of meaning in therapy by providing an opportunity for expression when words aren’t enough. Our therapists are Oregon Licensed Art Therapists (LAT) and American Art Therapy Association certified. They have rigorous and extensive training on using art in the healing process.
