Portland, Oregon
Neurodiversity-affirming therapy that actually gets you.
In-person therapy in Portland, OR; or virtual counseling anywhere in Oregon.
If you’re anything like us, you may have walked out of a therapist’s office, more than once in your life, feeling like you just weren’t working hard enough…that familiar voice in your head telling you that if you only had more discipline, better self-care, or practiced that mindfulness strategy the right way, you would finally feel relief.
At Sparking Hope Counseling, we know how hard you’re already working. We are here to ease the burden of “doing it right,” so you can be free to discover a life that works best for you.
With an approach to therapy that centers your experience, you can leave feeling truly understood; able to embrace self-acceptance; make sense of how your mind works, and discover what makes you feel fully alive.
Our Values
Sparking Hope Counseling is a community of therapists that is committed to providing research-supported mental health care in a neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQ2SIA+ affirming, and anti-oppressive way.
