Our Story & Mission
We believe that co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders are treatable with the right support. Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that physical health, mental well-being, and substance use are deeply interconnected.
At Base Behavioral Health Counseling, our experienced clinicians provide individualized, high-quality care that respects and reflects the diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, and LGBTQIA+ identities of those we serve. By offering integrated, trauma-informed services, we strive to improve quality of life, reduce reliance on emergency care, and increase access to therapy throughout Oregon.

Rooted in a strength-based approach, we honor the diverse experiences, identities, and stories of every person we serve.
