they/them
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, somatic and trauma-informed care with a commitment to decolonial and liberatory practice.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
I’m not everyone’s cup of tea
Two minutes of me talking will tell you more than any bio page can.
PROBABLY A FIT IF
You’ve felt “too much,” “too sensitive,” or like you’ve had to hold everything together — and you want a room where your body can exhale, your story is believed, and nobody is trying to fix you.
PROBABLY NOT A FIT IF
You want a quick fix, a worksheet, and a therapist who stays neutral about power and politics. That’s a real preference and I’m glad to refer you to someone who works that way.

PHILOSOPHY & APPROACH
Trauma always happens in the body
“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.”
IFS-informed
Parts work that treats every protector as having had a good reason for showing up when it did.
Gestalt
Present-tense work in the room, rather than narrating your life from a safe distance.
Decolonial & Liberatory
Naming the systems that shaped the pain instead of locating all of it inside you.
Somatic
Following what the body is already doing, with a trauma-informed backbone throughout.
A collaborative, non-judgmental space: you bring your story; I bring curiosity, warmth, and a sturdy sense of humor when appropriate. WPATH-informed assessments and letter writing when you’re exploring gender-affirming care.

SPECIALTIES
Any topic is welcome here
A trauma-informed, whole-person approach: the strengths and concerns of the mind, but also the body, spirit, and relationships.
Trauma
Trauma-informed and broad-based multicultural feminist, not limited to PTSD. Inclusive of marginalized identities and experiences with micro- and macroaggressions.
Gender Identity
Two-spirit, transgender, nonbinary, and questioning. WPATH-informed assessments and letters for gender-affirming care.
Body Activism
Body Trust®, fat liberation, and your relationship with the body.
Spirituality
Integration with marginalized identities, and spiritual or religious trauma.
Sexuality
Queer, pansexual, asexual, aromantic, demisexual, and questioning.
Sex
Pleasure, stigma, and kink/BDSM.
Race and Ethnicity
Areas of privilege and non-privilege, specifically addressing the intersections of power, privilege, and oppression.
Not everyone’s cup of tea
And that is completely fine. A free 20-minute consult is the fastest way to find out whether we fit.
I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship in which any topic is welcome.

THE PRACTICAL PART
If you’ve felt “too much,” you’re not a problem to solve
I work with trans, nonbinary, queer, and neurodivergent adults — along with anyone tired of spaces that don’t quite get them — who feel stuck in familiar cycles and want a room where the body can exhale and the story is believed.
Sessions
Individual and group therapy, all online. Practicing since 2013, with a free 20-minute initial consultation.
Cost & Coverage
In-network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, First Choice, Moda, Optum, Providence, and United Healthcare. Out-of-network options available, plus a limited number of sliding-scale spots.
Where you can be
Licensure requires you to be physically in Oregon or Washington during session.
Therapy with me = nervous system exploration, a bit of sarcasm, and zero pressure to be “fixed.”
