LGBT therapists in Oregon

Welcome! I am Jeremy Wade, a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over two decades of healthcare experience. After spending 25 years as an ER provider and clinical leader, I saw too many patients hospitalized simply because they couldn't access proactive outpatient psychiatric care. Driven by a passion to help this underserved population, I stepped away from the ER to dedicate myself fully to mental wellness. Today, I combine my deep medical background with my growing mental health expertise to treat the "whole you" in a safe, welcoming, and collaborative environment.

I specialize in trauma therapy for adults, with extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and other traumatic experiences. If you’ve been through something overwhelming, it can feel like a fog has settled over you, affecting every part of your life. You might find yourself overthinking, being on edge, shutting down, or feeling numb, even when you want to feel present and connected. Many people I work with feel stuck in this space and are unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll work to understand and process your emotions, thoughts, and past experiences so they no longer hold the same power over you.

I’ve lived in Oregon over 20 years and have been blessed to raise my family surrounded by natural beauty. I attended graduate school at Portland State University School of Social Work where I graduated with a Master of Social Work degree. I’ve previously specialized in providing services to individuals and families who have survived family violence, abuse and sexual violence. My main practice involves serving individuals in my rural Oregon community who may be experiencing crisis. While this work is exciting and always different, I also enjoy providing clinical therapy with a variety of clients. I believe therapy should be a collaborative partnership focused on the unique goals of each client. My hope is to provide clients with the tools they need to improve daily functioning, and return to a better quality of life.

As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. I have many years of experience in the perinatal mental health field, but I enjoy caring for all walks of life. I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NY, MA, NJ, NH, RI, KS, UT, WI, IN, AR, and OR, with over 20 years experience in the counseling field. I have had experience assisting clients with a wide range of concerns, such as, parenting issues, family/personal relationships, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and anger management.

Great to meet you!As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that a healthy relationship with yourself is the foundation for a good life. While I've worked across many demographics, my practice now focuses primarily on adult individuals navigating anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, and major life or identity transitions. I'd be glad to help you find steadier ground, whatever that looks like for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and Texas providing teletherapy to clients. I graduated from Portland State University with a Master’s in Social Work and have pursued extensive post-graduate training in trauma treatment, couples counseling, and ACT/DBT models. I specialize in working with folks that struggle with anxiety, depression, developmental or acute trauma, family of origin concerns, LGBTQIIA+ issues, obsessive thinking, and stress management.

My therapy style is centered on warmth, empathy, and inclusivity. Drawing from my extensive experience working with diverse populations, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard, valued, and understood. Everyone brings unique experiences, and my goal is to ensure that our work together honors your cultural, spiritual, and personal life story.

Welcome! I'm Ami.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in private practice and I'm glad you found your way here. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so take a moment to read about me and how I work.

What I offer:

I provide individual therapy for people who want to move through life's with greater ease, clarity, and fulfillment. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for your unique experiences and identities.

I identify as Queer and Asian-American, and many of my clients share these identities. If you're queer, trans, gender expansive, neurodivergent, or in some way navigating a life between cultures, I'd love to offer you a space to explore your experience and how you want to show up in the world.
