WWC Cares / CLSS
Care that respects who you are.
Willamette Wellness Center is an Oregon Health Authority–approved Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services (CLSS) organization, with a particular focus on the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
Your identity, culture, and lived experiences matter. CLSS care recognizes how these experiences—including discrimination and barriers to support—can affect mental health. It centers understanding, respect, and belonging in the healing process.

What this means for you
Your whole identity is welcome.
Our approach respects the ways your identities and experiences intersect, without asking you to leave parts of yourself outside the therapy room.
Care grounded in understanding.
CLSS approval requires organizations to demonstrate knowledge of the communities they serve, the challenges those communities face, and practices that affirm their experiences.
Support for safety and belonging.
The CLSS program emphasizes emotional safety, cultural connection, and care that honors your voice.
