Autism
Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
If you have autism or think you might have autism, you may find that communication is hard with neurotypical people, including previous therapists. While I don't have autism (that I know of), I have worked with many clients with autism, and have received training in applying Internal Family Systems therapy for working with neurodivergent clients. I offer a therapeutic approach that is client-led and course-correcting, in case we ever have any miscommunication. Usually the work I do with autistic clients revolves around processing the ways their neurodivergence has affected their lives and relationships, and to notice the masks they put on to get by. Ultimately, what I care most about is you developing a more positive and trusting relationship with yourself.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
