¡Hola! I'm Carmen, a 31-year-old transgender Latina therapist living in Portland. My journey to finding love required first finding myself, then finding someone who could love all of me - my Latina heritage, my professional dedication, and my truth as a trans woman.
Therapy Practice and Trans Advocacy in Portland
🏳️⚧️ My Professional Journey:
- • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
- • Specializing in LGBTQ+ mental health
- • Transitioned during graduate school
- • Private practice in SE Portland
- • Advocate for trans healthcare rights
- • Bilingual therapy services (Spanish/English)
- • Support group facilitator for trans youth
- • Cultural competency trainer
Dating as a trans woman of color requires incredible strength and discernment. Portland's progressive reputation doesn't shield you from transphobia or fetishization. I needed someone who saw me as Carmen the therapist, Carmen the Latina, Carmen the woman - not Carmen the "trans experience."
Meeting Jordan: Love Beyond Labels
Through Affemity, I connected with Jordan, a 28-year-old non-binary social worker who understood both professional helping careers and LGBTQ+ identity complexities. Our connection was built on shared values, not curiosity about trans experiences.
🏳️⚧️ Authentic Connection
Jordan approached me as a complete person, interested in my work, culture, and dreams beyond my trans identity.
🌈 Community Integration
They actively participated in Portland's LGBTQ+ community and understood intersectional identity challenges.
