Portland Mental Health & Wellness is excited to launch a new Spanish language therapy program, Florecer , to meet the growing demand for culturally specific mental health services! This program is designed to provide high-quality, compassionate care for patients who primarily or exclusively speak Spanish, particularly those in the Latine and BIPOC communities, by clinicians who are themselves Latine or BIPOC-identified.

This initiative is part of our commitment to making mental health support more accessible and culturally responsive to our diverse community.

As healers, therapists offer a range of services that support the mental and emotional well‑being of individuals, families, and communities. They promote and facilitate the attainment of optimal mental health through prevention, treatment, and maintenance services.

Therapists work collaboratively with patients, their families, and other healthcare providers, recognizing that all voices are important and deserve to be heard. They provide culturally sensitive and responsive care, acknowledging the impact of historical trauma and colonization on the mental health of communities and individuals.

In their work, therapists may offer therapy services, both individual and group, that center the experiences and knowledge of patients. They prioritize the empowerment and agency of patients, recognizing their unique identities and strengths, and support them in developing and using their own coping skills and strategies.
