Mental Health Services in Portland, Oregon
Skycloud provides flexible solutions with both in-person and virtual psychiatry and therapy services, including medication management and customized outpatient programs. Clients can access treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and EMDR, as well as individual, group, and family therapy. Intake assessments ensure personalized care plans, and medication—whether for depression, bipolar disorder, or co-occurring substance use—can be managed in-person or delivered to local pharmacies. Skycloud’s programs aim to make mental health and substance use treatment accessible, effective, and tailored to each client’s needs.
The Portland metropolitan area has over 2,000 adults reporting substance use disorder in the last year, higher than the national average and the average for Oregon state. Addiction isn’t the only mental health issue, though; over 35 percent of adults report symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Unfortunately, Oregon consistently ranks very poorly in terms of its mental health services, 49th out of 50 states, with low access to care, and many adults not receiving the therapy they need.
Many areas of Oregon, including Portland, struggle with discrimination and disinvestment, particularly in American Indian and tribal areas. This type of discrimination and disinvestment has made it even harder for adults in need to find therapy or mental health services in Portland Oregon,.
Those that do have access to in person therapy in Portland Oregon might still find it a bit out of reach financially. Portland, among other areas, struggles with a severe housing cost burden on low-income residents, making it very hard to find affordable care that fits within an already tight budget. Even simple in-person services might be out of budget for many, given the cost of transportation.
Finding Mental Health Services in Portland, Oregon
If you are someone struggling to find local, qualified, or even affordable therapy in Portland, Oregon, we can help.
With Skycloud, residents can participate in in-person and virtual psychiatry and therapy services.
In-person vs. Online Treatment
When you reach out to our team, we will help you determine whether in-person or online treatment best serves your needs.
This means taking into consideration things like your insurance benefits.
Note: Some insurance providers will cover the entire cost of virtual therapy, but only part of the cost for in-person therapy.
This also means taking into consideration what you are most comfortable with, what your schedule is, and what your budget is.
With Skycloud, both in-person and online treatment involve therapy and medication management services, and are equally effective at treating mental health disorders.
Medication Management
One aspect of our qualified, licensed therapy Portland, Oregon, is ourmedication management service. With this service, clients who are participating in our outpatient psychiatry program or our outpatient MAT program for substance abuse can access the medication they need with in-person or online programs.
For those who are participating in our in-person services in Portland, a psychiatrist can work with you as part of your care team to give you accurate mental health diagnoses and prescription medications to help manage those conditions.
For example:
- If you are struggling with moderate depression, your psychiatrist at Skycloud might conduct GeneSight Testing to determine which antidepressant is most likely to be successful given your genetic makeup
- If you are struggling with bipolar disorder, your psychiatrist might work with you to find something you can use long term, to manage specific episodes
If you participate in our online services in Portland, you can still access the same medication as prescribed by your psychiatrist but instead of picking up your medication at our Portland-based treatment center they would be mailed to a nearby pharmacy.
Therapy
A big part of our Portland-basedtherapyinvolves customizing an outpatient program with the therapies that are most effective for your condition.
For example:
- If you are struggling with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, or ADHD, you might participate in cognitive behavioral therapy to help you better understand what negative automatic thoughts and actions are interfering with their quality of life
- If you are struggling with borderline personality disorder, ADHD substance abuse, or eating disorders you might participate in dialectical behavioral therapy to focus on accepting certain realities and learning how to problem solve while also improving your emotional regulation
- If you are struggling with PTSD, you might participate in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy to help properly store traumatic memories that might be contributing to triggers, emotional distress, or anxiety
Our therapy involves individual, group, and family therapy.
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions can provide a safe place for clients to explore personal causes or contributing factors to a mental health disorder or co-occurring substance abuse disorder. With individual therapy sessions you can work with a therapist one-on-one to not only identify causes but help find solutions.
Group Therapy
Our group therapy sessions are highly effective at treating a wide array of mental health conditions and typically focus on one condition in each type of group. A client, therefore, who struggles with severe anxiety might participate in group therapy specifically for anxiety.
Family Therapy
Our family therapy can help rebuild relationships by identifying maladaptive communication patterns or harmful family dynamics. With the right education and resources, family members can learn to improve their communication and change the way their relationships work to better support one another.
