Mental Health Providers in Portland, Oregon

After reading the reviews I am glad I missed my appointment. It seems this clinic got worst this last year just like the one downtown. The one downtown I was never in and out. My schedule at work made it hard for me to go so I stopped. I don't know what changed in these clinics that made it worst. I don't want to be just a number and I want a counselor that cares . The phone groups are ridiculous. They need to just keep clients that really want recovery. Then they wouldn't have so many people and then maybe the counselors would stay and nurses. I'm sorry but its the patients that scare off the nurses and counselors. Anyways whatever there doing at these clinics thats different then years ago. Its not making ur clinic better . All your doing is helping the ones that don't want recovery with there drug fix. People like me that want to get better can't cause its those people that keep me from not going .

A PSA for Queer/Trans Folks and Marginalized Communities Seeking care here:

Such a wonderful and welcoming center. I look forward to going to more events there

Rude rude RUDE employees. Parked outside for all of 20 minutes while waiting to meet up with my CC and had a guy walk up to me ask what we were doing (told him kindly we were waiting for my CC) and then he tells me “no need to have an attitude “ there was no attitude. Maybe if you weren’t nervous that you were being watched smoke marijuana on the job you wouldn’t have that we were rude for sitting where my CC told us too to wait.

My wife been going to city center concern and her case worker is just talk the talk and not Walk The Walk . When we tried to reach the best team who help you get Social security benefits they refused to take her case we try to reach for help due to housing issues the case worker went in vacation and the housing team did nothing . Some time I don't blame them because they have to deal with homeless drug addict so they have to do what ever specifically that area becomes zombie Town so I am taking my wife to a better clinic away from zombie Town

I am super happy with my experience. The program is really amazing. The staff really accommodates u and helps us with whatever u need help with. They understand life happens and are still there for u! The video and classes were very helpful and informational

Absolutely highly recommend! The whole process of being able to self refer, for them to get authorization from my insurance, to schedule my first appointment was seamless, quick and easy. The cherry on top is I adore my provider Allie! She is easy to talk with and a great provider that really listens with an empathetic ear. Highly recommend to anyone seeking care. All of the thumbs up! :)

If you have an actual need for medication management, can provide a detailed list of the current medications that have been kept you stable for the past 2 years with verifying records from your previous doctor this place is still too cowardly to accept you as a patient or for that matter to even provide any explanation at all. I am therefore for left to assume they are either committing insurance fraud or you have to be the CEOs daughter to actually get an appointment.

I would give zero stars if I could. Absolute trainwreck of a clinic-- they made me switch my insurance and primary care just so that I could see my psychiatrist that relocated to Prism, only for my first assigned PCP to promptly quit followed by the psychiatrist I came for.

Unlike some. I am willing to actually share my experience and provide uncomplicated facts. Weird how people who have the least to say decide to review things, and instead of giving honest and constructional feed back they decide to throw up alphabet soup on here in a attempt to sound like they have any credibility or something more then a fart between their ears.

I can’t say enough good things about Michael Crose. Going through a DUI intake isn’t exactly something you look forward to, but Michael made the experience feel human. From the start, he was easy to talk to; genuine, respectful, and clearly someone who cares about people, not just paperwork. He made me feel comfortable, never judged, and even found ways to bring some lightness into a heavy situation. It might sound small, but when we starting going off about sparkling water he mentioned his love for watermelon Waterloo, felt like I was talking to a real person, not just a counselor checking boxes. He treats you with compassion and makes sure you understand every step of the process. Keep kicking ass, and thanks for making something I thought was going to be stressful.. not!

They insist on the patient portal. They will call you on a speakerphone in an echoing room and often don't return calls.

My experience at this facility has not met my expectations.

My experience with VOA Drug Treatment Center was extremely negative, and I would not recommend it to anyone seeking real help or support. From the beginning, I felt like the focus was not on patient care or recovery, but on control and questionable practices. One of the most troubling aspects was how clients’ food stamp (EBT) cards were handled. In my experience, there was very little transparency about how those benefits were being used. It felt uncomfortable and raised serious concerns about whether clients were truly receiving the full benefit of the assistance meant for them. This alone made me question the integrity of the program. The staff attitude made things even worse. Many employees came across as indifferent, dismissive, and at times outright uncaring. Instead of feeling supported during a vulnerable time, I often felt ignored or treated like just another number. There was a lack of compassion and professionalism that you would expect from a facility that claims to help people rebuild their lives. The overall environment felt disorganized and discouraging. Communication was poor, concerns were not taken seriously, and it didn’t feel like a place focused on genuine recovery. It felt more like going through the motions rather than actually helping people improve. If you or a loved one are looking for treatment, I strongly urge you to carefully research other options. Based on my experience, this is not a place where I felt respected, supported, or truly cared for.

I found EVERYONE at the OHSU Avel Gordly Center for Healing to be helpful, professional and skilled. The Doctors at the Center helped me during my worse times as I challenged the open discrimination I faced as an Oregon educator working in a school district. I will be forever grateful for their dedication and to the staff for the healing I experienced. Thank you specifically to Dr. Lott and Dr. Moreland for insightful and supportive sessions and to staff members that processed and helped with appointments. I highly recommend seeking out the Avel Gordly Center for Healing in Portland, OR to move past the damage of workplace discrimination and for a healthier self with a brighter future.

The program is awesome and seemed really helpful and beneficial. Once you have finished though you don't mean anything to them. The aftercare support you might need is non existent. I went into the program needing medication management and help with stabilization. And now they've kicked me to the curb and I've lost my medication again. I'll find a way to keep myself safe but just know that they will not.

To anyone considering coming here for treatment - do it. The other reviews posted during COVID are not representative of how the facility is now (not to mention they have never put anyone into "quarantine," it's not even that kind of facility).
