Therapy for adults and couples in Portland
Four licensed clinicians meet with adults and couples in person in Portland, or by video if you are in Oregon. Your first session is a conversation about what you want from therapy.
Therapy at Tide is a working relationship. Your clinician listens first, explains the method before using it and checks with you on how it is going.
Listening first
Every session starts with what you want to talk about.
A named method
Your clinician names the approach they suggest and explains it before you decide.
Your pace
How often and how long is set with you, and can change.

Intake forms on our portal
The first conversation
We talk about what you want from therapy, what pace feels right and what you want to leave alone for now. You do not have to tell your story.
How we would work
Your clinician explains the method, what it asks of you and what it can stir up, and then you decide.
Before you leave
We agree on a next step and answer questions about fees and cancellation. You can ask to meet a different clinician if the fit is not right.

Do you take my insurance?
Some of our clinicians are in network with some plans. Fees, receipts for reimbursement and the Good Faith Estimate are on the How fees work page.
Do you offer video sessions?
Yes, for clients who are in Oregon, where our clinicians are licensed. Many people start in person and switch, or the other way around.

We talk about what you want from therapy and what pace feels right. You do not have to tell your story. Your clinician explains how they would work, and you decide.
