Looking for a therapist who accepts Oregon Health Plan (OHP) can be overwhelming—especially if you’re not sure where to start. At Sprout Therapy PDX, we know that navigating insurance can be one of the biggest barriers to accessing care. The good news? Mental health support is available to OHP members. Here's how to find the right therapist for you.

1. Understand What OHP Covers OHP is Oregon's Medicaid program, and it includes behavioral and mental health services. This can cover individual therapy, family or couples therapy, and even telehealth services depending on your Coordinated Care Organization (CCO).

2. Check Your CCO Network OHP coverage is administered through CCOs like CareOregon, Trillium, Health Share, and others. Start by logging into your CCO's website or calling their member services line. Ask for a list of in-network mental health providers.

3. Use Online Directories Many therapists list their accepted insurance on sites like:

Psychology Today
Portland Therapy Center
Therapy Den

You can filter results by "OHP" or your specific CCO. Be sure to double-check with the therapist directly to confirm they’re currently accepting OHP clients.

4. Reach Out to Clinics Directly Community mental health clinics and group practices (like Sprout Therapy PDX!) often accept OHP and have intake coordinators who can help walk you through the process. Let them know your CCO and any preferences (e.g., LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, etc.).

5. Know What to Expect At Sprout Therapy PDX, we accept almost all OHP CCOs and start with a phone screening to understand your needs. Then, we match you with a therapist who fits—no referral needed. We also offer telehealth therapy across Oregon.

6. If You Hit a Waitlist, Don’t Give Up It’s frustrating, but waitlists are common. Ask if there are referrals to other providers, warm lines, or temporary support options. Your well-being matters, even in the waiting.

Final Thoughts Finding a therapist who takes OHP can take a little persistence, but you deserve quality mental health care—and it's out there. Whether you're looking for in-person sessions or virtual therapy anywhere in Oregon, support is within reach.
