In April 2026, Oregon Counselor Directory lists 155 therapists specializing in trauma and PTSD across Oregon. Of these, 113 offer telehealth, providing accessible services for residents in both rural and urban areas. 48 therapists accept the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), which can cover therapy sessions for eligible individuals at low or no cost. 54 providers offer sliding scale fees, catering to those whose income or insurance situations fall outside standard coverage. 146 therapists are currently accepting new clients.
