About

These are some of the people I work with:
​​​
-
So many queers and so many trans people!
-
People who want to talk about the hard stuff, even if that scares them
-
People who feel stuck and want to find a way through it
-
People who want a better world and are trying to figure out how to live in this one
-
People who hate diet culture, even if they don’t feel positive about their own bodies
-
People who deeply value relationships and community, even if they’re isolated heartbroken, and struggling to figure out how to relate

Diagnostically, I’m strongest with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression/mood disorders (including the bipolar spectrum), and anxiety disorders. I’m probably not a good fit if a different diagnosis is why you’re seeking therapy, but I might still have something to offer you if it’s a smaller part of the puzzle
​
And while it’s not my life experience, I'm determined to be there for trans women, transfemmes, QTBIPOC / queer and trans people of color, and survivors of homelessness and incarceration.
I really value your considering putting your trust in me as a counselor and will do my best to do right by you.
As for me, I’m Colette Gordon, LPC (they/them). I'm a white queer and trans counselor. Based on my experiences on both sides of the couch, I believe in the power of therapy. I think that when we build a great counseling relationship, it can make living in this world at least a bit better, it can energize and empower us, and it can support meaningful changes in our lives. I think both big change and small change matters.
I have a master’s degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark College and have been working as a therapist since 2016. I am licensed through the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists (#C5032).

My office is located at
4424 NE Glisan Street, Portland, OR 97213.
Unfortunately the office is not ADA accessible as it is on the second floor and requires climbing a full flight of stairs.
The restroom is single-stall and non-gendered.
My office includes a sturdy couch, a heating pad, and a variety of things to fidget with.
