About Jupiter

Counseling Philosophy

 I use an integrated practice drawing from Existential Psychotherapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to support clients in their growth and healing, alongside a social justice framework to place one's trials and triumphs in context. I focus less on "symptoms" and changing behavior, and more about the way you relate to yourself, others, and the world.

Specialty Areas & Education

  I graduated from Portland State University with my Master's in Counseling Education and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon (License number C7400). I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA2S+ clients, clients healing from developmental & relational trauma, and supporting late-realized autistic clients. I consider "trauma" to include not only personal wounds, but also systemic violence and intergenerational patterns of harm. I orient my practice around principles of trauma-informed care, health at every size, queer liberation, trans empowerment, anti-racist solidarity, and disability justice.  

My Name

In true trans tradition, my legal name & chosen name do not currently match. You can find me legally as "Elliot Townley" although I now go by Jupiter. 

My Office

I am now offering in-person sessions with the Portland Queer Healers Collective in Portland, off SE Division St. Photos and instructions on finding the office are provided after scheduling. You can check out the collective & some photos of us by following the link below!
