Cyncha Dato

I provide affirming, holistic counseling for individuals and families, with a special focus on supporting transgender and nonbinary clients as they navigate identity, relationships, stress, and everyday life challenges. As a mixed-race, first-generation, nonbinary therapist, I value creating a judgment-free space where you can show up as your full self while we explore what is getting in the way of feeling steady and well. I blend approaches such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and affirmative counseling, and I also bring lived experience with ADHD to help clients find practical strategies through thoughtful trial and error. I offer teletherapy across Oregon and can provide assessments and letter writing for gender-affirming care when needed.
