Culturally Specific & Affirmative Care

At Cascadia Psychiatry & Wellness, we recognize that true healing requires a space where your intersectional identity is both seen and deeply respected. We are dedicated to providing a culturally responsive, affirmative, and safe clinical environment. Our practice is deeply informed by and attuned to the unique psychosocial stressors, identity milestones, and systemic healthcare barriers experienced by individuals within the LGBTQIA2+ community and other historically underserved populations. You do not have to educate your provider on your identity here; your lived experiences are honored as an essential part of your wellness journey.

Our Hybrid Model of Care

To deliver the highest standard of clinical safety while respecting your time and lifestyle, we utilize a thoughtful hybrid model of care.

• Initial Diagnostic Intake: To establish an accurate, safe, and robust clinical foundation, and to align with insurance expectations, your initial intake appointment must be completed in-person at our Portland office location. Centrally located in Sellwood. 

• Follow-Up Care: Once a personalized treatment plan is established, subsequent follow-up care and routine medication management sessions can seamlessly transition to our secure telehealth platform for your ongoing convenience.

Telehealth Logistics & Technical Requirements

For clients transitioning to our flexible digital health options, please ensure you can meet the following operational guidelines for your virtual appointments:

• Location Requirement: Due to state licensing laws, you must be physically located within the state of Oregon at the time of your session.

• Environment: For your privacy and clinical safety, you must utilize a private, quiet, and distraction-free space during the session.

• Technology: A stable, high-speed internet connection and a device with a working camera and microphone are required to connect to our secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
