Oregon Therapists Who Accept OHP
The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) provides mental health coverage to eligible Oregonians at no cost. Many licensed therapists in our directory accept OHP, including those offering individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy. If you have OHP, you are entitled to mental health services without copays.
This means low-income individuals and families can access affordable mental health services.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this coverage in Oregon.
Do Oregon therapists who accept OHP also offer telehealth sessions?
This enables clients to engage in therapy from the comfort of their own homes, which can be particularly beneficial for those in rural areas or with mobility constraints.
Do Oregon OHP-accepting therapists offer sliding scale fees?
This can be helpful for clients whose income may not qualify them for OHP or who need additional financial flexibility when accessing mental health services.
Do Oregon OHP-accepting therapists offer in-person sessions?
This provides clients with the option to engage in traditional face-to-face therapy, which some may prefer over telehealth or find more comfortable.
How much does therapy cost with the Oregon Health Plan (OHP)?
Most OHP members pay little to nothing for outpatient mental health therapy — many pay a $0 copay. Your exact benefits run through your regional Coordinated Care Organization (CCO), so check your OHP card or CCO for specifics.
Do I need a referral or prior authorization to see a therapist on OHP?
For most outpatient mental health therapy, OHP does not require prior authorization, so you can usually start seeing a therapist directly. Some specialized or higher-intensity services may need approval through your CCO.
How many therapy sessions does OHP cover?
OHP covers medically necessary outpatient mental health care, and there isn't a fixed visit cap for standard therapy — coverage continues as long as treatment is appropriate. Specifics are managed by your CCO.
How do I find a therapist who actually takes OHP and has openings?
Not every provider accepts OHP, and panels fill up. Use the filters on this page to show only therapists who accept OHP / Oregon Medicaid and are currently accepting new clients, and consider telehealth to widen your options statewide.
