LGBT therapists in Salem, OR

I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I did my own work first — after years in a career that looked fine from the outside and felt hollow on the inside, something finally clicked. I live with ADHD and ASD myself, and I'll be direct: it makes me better at this. I'm wired to hold fine details and the big picture simultaneously, connect patterns across a history, and notice what other providers might miss. I work especially well with children and adolescents (ages 6+), perinatal and antepartum folks, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are AFAB or identify as women — many navigating ADHD, autism, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, mood disorders, or a diagnosis that never quite fit. If previous providers didn't get the full picture of you, that's exactly the gap I'm here to close.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and Texas providing teletherapy to clients. I graduated from Portland State University with a Master’s in Social Work and have pursued extensive post-graduate training in trauma treatment, couples counseling, and ACT/DBT models. I specialize in working with folks that struggle with anxiety, depression, developmental or acute trauma, family of origin concerns, LGBTQIIA+ issues, obsessive thinking, and stress management.

I'm an LCSW with expertise in brain and behavior and additional specialty in addiction

I strive to provide a place of safety and security for those seeking emotional and mental wellness by building meaningful relationships with my clients. I enjoy working with trauma survivors while they find a new way of living with their past. I like to look at a person from a system perspective. What system (family or otherwise) did you grow up with? What does that look like now? What changes can you make in your system to create healthier boundaries and more meaningful relationships?

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) passionate about helping people find balance, healing, and growth through life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler and have worked in settings like private practice, hospitals, schools, and community programs. I support adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person, drawing from methods like CBT, Attachment Based, and family systems work to fit your unique needs. Above all, I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported and empowered to make meaningful change.

As a social worker who specializes in mental health, I truly believe that prioritizing one's mental health is an important as one's physical health.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NY, MA, NJ, NH, RI, KS, UT, WI, IN, AR, and OR, with over 20 years experience in the counseling field. I have had experience assisting clients with a wide range of concerns, such as, parenting issues, family/personal relationships, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and anger management.

You deserve to have a space where you can show up fully as yourself and learn how to work with your brain, not against it! We'll probably work really well together if you are constantly trying to understand yourself, social/relational dynamics, your needs, and how to create healthier relational patterns. I am passionate about helping therapists, queer folks, and neurodiverse folks (ADHD/Autism) with complex trauma reconnect with safety in their selves and in relationships.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: we all have a fundamental desire to be seen and to connect. While life inevitably brings us through seasons of loss and uncertainty, I believe these moments are where our deepest growth happens. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for that connection to take place. Together, we can explore your unique journey, creating room for the self-discovery and healing that comes when we feel truly heard.

My therapy style is centered on warmth, empathy, and inclusivity. Drawing from my extensive experience working with diverse populations, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard, valued, and understood. Everyone brings unique experiences, and my goal is to ensure that our work together honors your cultural, spiritual, and personal life story.

I’m Dr. Heather Cromwell, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy to adults in Alaska and Oregon. I have over 10 years of experience working in behavioral health across outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings, including extensive work with individuals experiencing serious and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

My background includes a Ph.D. and Master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, along with years of leadership and program development experience in behavioral healthcare. I bring both clinical expertise and a practical, person-centered approach to therapy.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and emotionally safe. My style is warm, collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in authenticity. I work to create a space where clients can better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process feel approachable and comfortable from the very beginning.
