Chase Colter

Licensed Professional Counselor

Genderqueer Relational Poly-Informed Kink-Affirming Embodied Collaborative
"Relationships can be spaces where we learn new ways of loving, relating, repairing, and being free together."

About

Chase is a Licensed Professional Counselor offering queer, kink-affirming, and poly-informed therapy in Portland for adults, young adults, couples, partners, families, and relationship constellations navigating connection, conflict, intimacy, identity, trauma, neurodivergence, and the beautiful mess of loving other people.

Chase brings a relational, embodied, collaborative, and attachment-focused style to therapy. His work is especially rooted in helping people understand the patterns, protections, nervous system responses, and old stories that shape how they love, communicate, withdraw, reach, repair, and belong. Sessions with Chase can be a place to slow down, listen to what your body and relationships are trying to say, and build connection that feels more honest, grounded, and alive.
