Isaiah Bartlett, LCSW
Queer & Trans Affirming Therapy in Portland, OR and Durham, NCI help queer and trans young adults feel more secure in their identities, experiences, and relationships.
Therapy Focused on Queer & Trans Identities
Are you interested in surgery and/or hormones, but find that you are constantly second guessing yourself?
Are you worried that you won’t be accepted by others if you explore your gender and/or sexuality?
Are you feeling exhausted by the constant onslaught of queerphobia and transphobia?
I’ll help you gain comfortability with your gender and/or sexuality and develop language that feels right for you. I want to help you move towards feeling like your outsides feel more aligned with your internal gendered experience. You deserve to live authentically and you deserve to get to be your authentic self in therapy.
As a queer and trans therapist, I know what this journey can be like. My experiences as a trans person inspired me to become a therapist to help my community feel less alone in navigating their identities and transitions.
Therapy for Relationship Challenges
Are you feeling lonely and disconnected in relationships?
Maybe you’re feeling at a loss for how to navigate adult friendships.
Do you find yourself getting stuck in patterns of conflict in relationships?
Perhaps you’re continuously attracted to people who seem to trigger your greatest fears.
We all need community & connection to thrive especially in the current political hellscape that can lead to isolation and doomscrolling. Relationships are so important! But they can also be really hard, especially if you’re bringing past trauma and hurt into them. I can help you gain understanding and compassion for what you bring into relationships, which can totally transform how you experience them.
Through therapy you can build healthier relationships and find ways to better communicate with the people you care about. You can have healthy & happy romantic partnership(s) and friendships! You can have a community of people who get you & show up for you. You can set boundaries with assertiveness and compassion. You can develop friendships and community that can withstand conflict and difference.
