Today, on Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize the history, cultures and ongoing contributions of Indigenous peoples throughout Oregon and beyond.

Portland is home to a rich Indigenous history, and the communities connected to these lands continue to shape our region today.

We encourage taking time to learn about Oregon’s Indigenous nations, their histories and their communities today.

A few of our Connections First clinicians made their way across the pond for Transform Trauma Oxford 2026 — a gathering centered around Science, Spirit and the Body: The Synthesis of Healing.

They spent their time learning, listening and exchanging ideas with people approaching trauma and healing from different disciplines, cultures and perspectives.

One thought from the conference especially stuck with them:

“No one has the whole answer. That’s why we keep coming back.”

We think there’s something pretty important in that. Good work doesn’t come from assuming we already know everything. It comes from staying curious, continuing to learn and being willing to let different perspectives change the conversation.

And doing some of that learning together in Oxford certainly doesn’t hurt. 💙

No advice today. No checklist. Just 13 seconds of something nice to look at. 🌿

Take a second. Watch the colors change. Look at the leaves. Unclench whatever you’ve been clenching.

New month. New openings. 💙🌿

If finding a therapist has been sitting on your “I really should do that…” list, September might be a good time to take that first step.

Connections First currently has 18+ clinicians with openings, offering a wide range of specialties, therapeutic approaches and availability for individuals, couples, teens and families.

Finding the right therapist matters. With a large team under one roof, we can help connect you with someone who fits what you’re looking for — and if the first fit isn’t quite right, we can help you explore another clinician within our practice.

No giant reset required. No brand-new version of yourself needed. September can just be September.
