Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ person can bring unique experiences, from identity exploration and coming out to relationship challenges, family dynamics, discrimination, or the pressure of feeling misunderstood. Therapy can provide a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space to explore your identity, process difficult experiences, and feel more grounded in who you are.
Outpatient mental health therapy can support LGBTQ+ clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, family conflict, life transitions, stress, and the emotional impact of stigma or discrimination. Whether you are exploring your identity, navigating a major transition, or simply looking for a therapist who sees and respects you as a whole person, therapy can be a space to build confidence, resilience, authentic connection, and greater well-being.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Many of my clients are part of the LGBTQ+ community. I have long-term training and experience in supporting clients in gender and sexual identity development as well as the particular experience of these communities within our larger cultural context. I do everything I can to make our therapeutic relationship a safe place to land and to explore and accept your identity, whether that is a fixed attribute of yours or you are changing/evolving over time.

Linda Schartman, MA LPC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
People who aren't in our community often don't understand the effect of microagressions on mental health. Additionally, there are economic and cultural factors at play for LGBTQIA2s+ folks. I validate all adult consensual sexual or relationship practices (polyamory and ethical non-monogamy included) and help you navigate the challenging waters of dealing with external and internalized homophobia and maintaining healthy relationships with self and others.

Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (or Questioning) therapy or affirmative therapy is a specialized, nonjudgmental approach that validates and supports individuals across the sexual orientation and gender identity spectra to promote self-acceptance and mental well-being. I help clients with gender affirming care who are seeking support to affirm their gender when it conflicts with the gender they were assigned at birth. This evidence-based, patient-centered care aims to treat gender dysphoria, improve mental health, and align outward physical traits with gender identity.

Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
LGBTQIA+ individuals sometimes navigate unique challenges related to identity, relationships, family acceptance, and the impact of stigma or misunderstanding. In therapy we explore these experiences alongside the broader concerns many people bring to treatment, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and patterns such as codependency. As this work unfolds, many people develop a stronger sense of authenticity, resilience, and emotional clarity in their lives.

Salem is Oregon's state capital and has a large and established Spanish-speaking Latino population, particularly connected to the agricultural sector of the Willamette Valley, making bilingual Spanish and English therapy provision an important feature of the local mental health landscape. Oregon State Hospital, one of the state's primary psychiatric facilities, is based in Salem, and the city is a significant regional center for mental health services across the mid-Willamette Valley. Salem Health's behavioral health services contribute to a reasonably well-resourced local mental health infrastructure. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and the stresses of agricultural and service sector work, as well as the particular needs of a large immigrant and refugee population navigating life in a mid-sized state capital.
