Angel Kammeyer

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


My name is Angel Kammeyer and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am originally from California but have lived in Oregon since 2014. I received a Master’s Degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling. I also completed a B.S. in Psychology at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, OR. I have worked in various positions within the community mental health field for over ten years. And I look forward to a long career where my community members, especially people of color, veterans, women, and individuals needing a cheerleader and advocate in their corner, can receive the care that they deserve.

I believe in creating a safe space for individuals to be vulnerable, open, and honest. As we work together, I will use my skills and voice to empower you to share your narrative. Therapy is a journey and I encourage you to take things one day at a time and know that you are worthy and powerful beyond measures. I want to understand you as a person and hope that you will soon be able to see yourself for who you are and not by what society or your diagnosis tells you. Seeking mental health treatment is a big step and I want to celebrate this journey with you.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • 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.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Portland, OR

Searching for LGBTQIA therapists in Portland starts with finding care that is clearly affirming of your identity, relationships, and goals. The right therapist may support concerns related to gender identity, coming out, relationship stress, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience with LGBTQIA+ clients. This can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want to discuss in care.

Portland has many mental health therapists, and the number of choices can make the search harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person care near your neighborhood, workplace, or transit route. Virtual appointments can also expand access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy, especially when you want a therapist with specific experience in therapy for gender identity, bisexual therapy, gay couples therapy, lesbian therapy, or LGBTQIA+ relationship support. Review therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their approach, the populations they work with, their availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Portland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists in Portland, filter by insurance, appointment format, specialty, and availability, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
