Identity-Affirming LGBTQ+ Counseling for Beaverton, OR, Residents

Everyone deserves to have mental health support that accepts their identity and gives them a safe place to seek healing. For LGBTQ+ individuals, that’s harder to find. At True Course Counseling, we’ve made it our mission to help Beaverton, Oregon, residents from all walks of life without exception, which is why we provide supportive, identity-affirming LGBTQ+ counseling. Whether you’re exploring your gender or sexual identity, working through past trauma, or simply seeking a therapist who gets it, we’re here to walk beside you with a compassionate ear and guidance derived from clinical expertise.

A Validating Space for LGBTQ+ Individuals

People come to therapy dealing with anxiety, depression, shame, relationship struggles, or the emotional aftermath of rejection. Others might be navigating religious trauma, identity questions, or major life transitions. Living as LGBTQ in a heteronormative and often biased world adds a layer of stress on top of typical concerns, which is why access to LGBTQ+ counseling is so important. With experience supporting trans, non-binary, queer, and questioning clients, True Course Counseling offers a validating space to explore without fear of judgment. We use several forms of therapy to help our clients:

Identify their needs
Develop coping strategies
Strengthen their sense of self
Make peace with their identity
Work toward goals with enthusiasm

We also provide LGBTQ+ couples counseling, including support for nontraditional partnerships.

Let Us Support You, Too

Affirming support can change lives. Offering LGBTQ+ counseling is just one small way to contribute to that cause, but we do it with pride. If you’re ready to live as your true self, schedule a session with our team today. True Course Counseling serves residents in Beaverton and beyond through telehealth.

We accept Oregon Health Plan (OHP), ALLCARE, and CareOregon for therapy services performed in the state of Oregon.

“I enjoy Megan's open mind and also how she never seems frustrated or unhappy when it takes me several rambling sentences to try to get to a point. She also asks excellent follow up to clarify things and does not appear annoyed when she asks if I am talking about feeling X, and I have to say no, it is more like Y. I feel respected even when talking about very difficult things.”

“To me, Megan takes into consideration what is important in my life, and instead of suggesting removing things that are meaningful but difficult, makes suggestions on lowering my stress around those things. When she does see my growth, which is often harder for me to see, she will point out how I may have reacted to a situation or trigger a year or two ago, and then helps me see for myself the growth in my reaction, my boundaries, etc”
