Linda Schartman, MA LPC

Currently, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating gender expression, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, disabilities, and minority stress. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can feel understood, heal, and make meaningful changes. Together, we’ll work toward your personal goals, cultivating a life that aligns with your values and true self.

Narrative
Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Are you feeling stuck or unsure of how to move forward? Maybe you’ve noticed patterns in your reactions or behaviors that no longer feel helpful or symptoms that make it hard to feel calm, present, and engaged in your daily life.
I offer a supportive, grounded space where you can feel heard while also being gently challenged to look beneath the surface. Together, we’ll explore the underlying drivers of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, so you can create meaningful, lasting change rather than just temporary relief.
My approach is both compassionate and practical, helping you build insight, shift patterns, and reconnect with a greater sense of ease, clarity, and direction in your life.

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.
