Why OTM Is Expanding Into Mental Health

From the beginning, OTM has focused on breaking down barriers to care. We serve patients who are uninsured, underinsured, chronically underserved, or who struggle with transportation, mobility, or scheduling challenges. We’ve seen firsthand that medical concerns rarely exist in isolation. Stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, burnout, and chronic life pressures shape a person’s physical health and quality of life. Launching mental health services is a natural, essential next step for us.

In 2026, OTM will introduce a comprehensive mental health program that includes:

Individual telehealth therapy

Trauma-informed care

Culturally responsive mental health services

Support for depression, anxiety, and life transitions

Care coordination for complex cases

Insurance billing + sliding scale options

Specialized support for older adults, youth, and rural communities

Our goal is simple: to make mental health care accessible, stigma-free, and rooted in dignity.

Telehealth Mental Health Services You Can Trust

OTM’s mental health launch will be built on the same values that guide our medical care: convenience, compassion, excellence, and accessibility. With our secure telehealth platform, patients can connect with licensed mental health therapists from the comfort of their home, car, private office, or anywhere they feel safe.

Telehealth is especially powerful for mental health because:

There are fewer scheduling barriers

Patients can access care even in rural areas

Transportation, childcare, or mobility limitations don’t get in the way

Therapy from home increases comfort and emotional safety

It reduces stigma and encourages more people to seek help

Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, trauma, chronic stress, identity concerns, or relationship struggles, OTM will be there to support them with clinically sound, evidence-based care.

Our 2026 Mental Health Team

OTM is assembling a team of licensed mental health professionals who bring expertise in:

Person-centered therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Trauma-informed care

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Existential and meaning-centered approaches

Youth and family support

Community and social stressors

Culturally aware and inclusive practice

Our providers will collaborate with OTM’s medical team to ensure patients receive holistic care, not siloed services. This integrative model allows us to treat the whole person—not just symptoms.

A Vision for the Future of Mental Health in Oregon

OTM’s mental health expansion is about more than adding a service. It’s about reshaping access to mental health care in Oregon. It’s about strengthening communities, empowering individuals, and giving people a place to turn before they reach a crisis point.

By launching in 2026, we are committed to building a service line that is:

Ethical

Sustainable

Accessible to insured and uninsured patients

Guided by best practices

Rooted in compassion, professionalism, and dignity

Our vision is to meet people where they are and walk with them through life’s most difficult seasons.

Moving Forward Together

We are honored to expand Oregon TeleMed into comprehensive mental health care. As we prepare for our 2026 launch, we invite our community, partners, and patients to stay connected, stay informed, and stay hopeful. Mental health is health—and everyone deserves support.

OTM is here to help.
