I’m a Religious Trauma Coach (more about that here), and I live in Portland, Oregon USA. I grew up poor, and I believe that good mental health care should be accessible to everyone (including folks who are low-income), so I build and maintain this simple list of Oregon Mental Health providers who take OHP (Oregon Health Plan) Health Share CareOregon, and who have appointments available in the next few weeks.

If you live in the Portland Oregon area, in Multnomah/Clackamas/Washington county, and if your health insurance card says “Health Share”, then you almost certainly have “CareOregon” as your mental health care organization (check the bottom of your OHP Health Share card). All of the professionals on this page take Health Share CareOregon, and all of them have openings in the next few weeks.

I created this list because a lot of folks told me they had called several offices, looking for a therapist, but everyone was full (even those who said they were “accepting new clients”). They said that they got tired and give up. I don’t want people to give up! I keep in close contact with the therapists on this page. If their listing is still here, then they have told me within the last few weeks that they have openings in the near future. I remove them during times when their appointments are full.

If the “Mental Health & Substance” section at the bottom of your OHP Health Share card says “CareOregon”, then all of the folks on this page have appointments available for you! Scroll down and contact the one(s) you like.

Mental Health Professionals: If you take CareOregon and have openings within the next 3 weeks, and you’d like to be included on this list, please fill out my questionnaire here, and I’ll add you. We especially need prescribers and also folks who can provide appointments to discuss Gender Affirming Care letters.
