Optum and UnitedHealthcare Therapist in Oregon

Read on for what we treat in Oregon, how we match you with a clinician, and how we check your Optum or UnitedHealthcare benefits.

Secure video from the Willamette Valley to Eastern Oregon

Members meet from Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Albany, Roseburg, Grants Pass, Hood River, The Dalles, Redmond, Ontario, and Astoria. Most of Oregon is on Pacific time, but most of Malheur County is on Mountain time, so tell us where you are when you book. You’ll need to be in Oregon during each session. See how teletherapy works. If you’d prefer to meet in person, we also have offices throughout the US; ask our admin team whether in-person visits are an option with your clinician.

Concerns we help with

Oregon members reach out for anxiety, panic, depression, couples concerns, and stress from work, family, and big transitions.

Our Oregon clinician

Psychological Healing has 40 clinicians, offering in-person sessions in 20 states and video sessions in 44 states. Our Oregon clinician who is active with Optum and UnitedHealthcare sees members by secure video across the state. When you reach out, our admin team matches you with a clinician whose license, focus, and schedule fit what you need. You can read about everyone on our team.

Your first few weeks

In the first few weeks, you and your clinician will map out what’s going on, agree on goals, and choose an approach that fits. Many evidence-based treatments include short practice assignments between sessions, because skills grow through repetition. You can always ask why a technique is being used. Good therapy for Oregon members is a collaboration, not something done to you.

Does UnitedHealthcare cover therapy?

Most UnitedHealthcare commercial plans include outpatient mental health benefits, often managed by Optum Behavioral Health. Federal parity rules generally require mental health care to be covered on terms comparable to medical care, but your deductible and other details depend on your plan. Our admin team verifies your coverage for sessions in Oregon and tells you what to expect. We do not accept Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans.

How to book

Booking takes a few minutes. Fill out our short appointment request form and tell us you’re in Oregon, which insurance you have, and what you’d like help with. Our admin team will verify your benefits, match you with a clinician whose license and schedule fit, and send you a secure link for your first video session.
