Affirming therapy
for all Oregonians
LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and Asian American affirming online therapy across Oregon — Portland, Eugene, Salem, Bend, and beyond. No code-switching. No explaining yourself. Just care that meets you where you are.
We're here for
Oregon's LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities
Oregon has long been home to a fiercely progressive LGBTQ+ community — and yet truly affirming, culturally competent mental health care can still be surprisingly hard to find. Too many queer and BIPOC Oregonians sit across from therapists who treat queerness as secondary, or who ask their clients of color to explain their own experience mid-session.
At Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective, our therapists are LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identifying — bringing lived experience alongside rigorous clinical training. Whether you're in Portland navigating the city's evolving queer landscape, in a smaller Oregon community where affirming care is even harder to access, or anywhere across the state — we're here.
We offer 100% telehealth therapy across Oregon, meaning you can access affirming care from your home, your car, or wherever you feel safest — without the commute, the waiting room, or the exhausting performance of being "presentable."
Affirming mental health care
across all of life's challenges
Evidence-based, identity-affirming therapy for the full spectrum of mental health and relationship needs — available to all Oregonians via telehealth.
Serving LGBTQ+ Oregonians
from every corner of the state
Because we're 100% telehealth, geography is never a barrier to affirming care. We serve clients across all of Oregon.
All sessions are conducted via HIPAA-compliant telehealth. As long as you are in Oregon during your session, we can work together — whether you're in a city, a suburb, a rural community, or anywhere in between.
Not just affirming —
deeply, genuinely inclusive
Oregon has no shortage of therapists. Here's why LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Oregonians keep choosing Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective.
Lived Identity, Not Just Training
Our therapists are LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identifying. You won't spend session time explaining what it's like to be queer, to navigate family dynamics as a person of color, or to feel the weight of minority stress. We already know — and we build from there.
No Code-Switching Required
Bring your slang, your community references, your cultural context. RCCC is a space where you can be your full, unedited self without worrying about making your therapist comfortable.
OR-Licensed & Oregon-Fluent
Our clinicians hold Oregon LPC licenses and understand the cultural, legal, and geographic landscape for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Oregonians — from Portland's queer neighborhoods to the state's rural communities.
Accessible Across Oregon
100% telehealth with flexible scheduling means you can access affirming care whether you're in inner Southeast Portland or a small Southern Oregon town. Geography should never be a barrier to getting the support you deserve.
Common questions from
Oregon clients
Answers to the questions we hear most often from LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Oregonians considering therapy.
Yes — all sessions are conducted via HIPAA-compliant telehealth, which means we can work with any client located in Oregon during their session. Whether you're in Portland, Eugene, Salem, Bend, Medford, Corvallis, or any other city or community in the state, geography is never a barrier to accessing care. The only requirement is that you are physically present in Oregon at the time of your session.
Yes. We have clinicians who are Oregon Licensed Professional Counselors, issued by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists. They are fully authorized to provide telehealth therapy to clients located anywhere in Oregon. We also have clinicians licensed in California, Washington, and New York, making us one of a small number of practices licensed across all four states.
Yes, we accept Cigna only. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your specific insurance situation and help you understand your coverage. We also offer self-pay options and can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement — reach out here or call 619.363.4674.
Many therapists in Oregon identify as "LGBTQ+ affirming" — but affirmation isn't the same as deep understanding. At RCCC, our therapists are LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identifying, meaning clients get to have therapy with a therapist who walks the walk, not just talks the talk. We specialize in the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity, racial identity, and cultural background — a combination that remains genuinely rare, even in Portland. We also offer sex therapy with an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, which distinguishes us from most general LGBTQ+ therapists in Oregon.
Yes. As licensed Oregon clinicians, we can provide clinical letters of support for gender-affirming hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgery, and legal name or gender marker changes. Oregon has some of the most affirming legal frameworks in the country for gender marker changes, and we can provide guidance through those processes as well. We approach these letters from an affirming, informed consent framework — not a gatekeeping one. Learn more about gender-affirming letters here.
Absolutely. Oregon — and Portland in particular — has a significant and growing Asian American community. RCCC is deeply committed to serving AAPI clients. Harry brings both lived experience as an Asian American and specialized clinical training to address the unique mental health challenges Asian American Oregonians face — including intergenerational trauma, racial trauma, model minority myth pressure, family dynamics shaped by cultural silence, and the intersection of AAPI identity with LGBTQ+ experience. We work with clients across diverse Asian communities including Chinese American, Filipino American, Vietnamese American, Korean American, Japanese American, South Asian American, and multiracial Asian clients throughout Oregon.
The easiest way to start is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. During that call, we'll hear a little about what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and get a sense of whether we're the right fit — no commitment, no pressure. If you prefer, you can also reach us directly at 619.363.4674. We typically respond to all inquiries within one to two business days.
