INDIVIDUAL THERAPY WITH ADULTS — Telehealth with Heart
Welcome. You’re not here to perform a perfect audition for healing—you’re here to show up as your full self, and that deserves a space that’s safe, affirming, and very human. I’m Del Knight, a dual-licensed therapist (Oregon and Washington) who combines Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, and trauma-informed care with a commitment to social justice. If you’re navigating gender identity, race, spirituality, or any piece of your life that doesn’t fit a neat box, you’re in the right place
WHAT I OFFER
Telehealth therapy for adults: convenient, private sessions you can attend from home (or anywhere you feel most yourself), pajama pants encouraged.
An approach that centers you: I work from IFS-informed, Gestalt, multicultural, and somatic-informed perspectives, with a trauma-informed backbone.
WPATH-informed assessments when you’re exploring gender-affirming care.
A collaborative, non-judgmental space: you bring your story; I bring curiosity, warmth, and a sturdy sense of humor when appropriate.
For more information about my educational and clinical background, please view my CV.
“Trusting ourselves or other people is a vulnerable and courageous process.”
WHY THIS SPACE WORKS
Research shows the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of progress. That’s why I lead with connection—clear boundaries, honest conversations, and a stance of cultural humility. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, and supported as you navigate your unique path toward growth, wholeness, and more self-compassion.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
A trauma-informed, body- and spirit-inclusive framework: I consider mind, body, spirit, and environment, so you don’t have to do healing in isolation.
Explicit commitment to inclusivity: I work with diverse identities and lived experiences, including gender diversity, racial identity, religious or spiritual backgrounds, and sexuality.
Practical, real-world collaboration: we’ll set meaningful goals, track progress, and address barriers—while keeping the process human and manageable.

I offer a complimentary 20-minute video consultation to get to know each other, discuss what you’re hoping to work on, and answer any questions you have about my style and the process. No heavy paperwork up front—just a friendly conversation to see if this is a good match.

“When something happens to the body that is too much, too fast, or too soon it overwhelms the body and can create trauma. Contrary to what many people believe, trauma is not primarily an emotional response. Trauma always happens in the body. It is a spontaneous, protective mechanism used by the body to stop or thwart further or future potential damage. Trauma is not a flaw or a weakness. It is a highly effective tool of safety and survival. Trauma is also not an event. Trauma is the body’s protective response to an event or a series of events that is perceived as potentially dangerous.”
