About
Claris Mental Health

Claris Mental Health is a clinician-owned psychiatric practice providing telehealth care to adults across Oregon. We believe good psychiatric care starts with taking the time to understand what you’re experiencing, what may be contributing to it, and what you want to change. Together, we work toward a plan that is clinically sound, practical, and aligned with your goals.

The name Claris is inspired by clarity and light. For us, that reflects the role good psychiatric care can play: helping bring understanding to what has felt confusing, illuminating possible paths forward, and giving you a clear sense of what comes next.

Care For Every Individual

At Claris Mental Health, we believe everyone deserves to feel respected, understood, and supported in their mental health care. We welcome individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences, and are committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care in an environment free from judgment and discrimination. We recognize that each person’s experiences, values, and circumstances are unique, and we strive to make those differences an important part of individualized care. 

How We Practice

Thoughtful assessment comes first.
Mental health symptoms overlap constantly. For instance, difficulty concentrating may reflect ADHD — or anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep deprivation, a medication effect, or several factors at once. A comprehensive evaluation protects you from the most common problem in psychiatry: jumping to conclusions too quickly. We'd rather take the time to get it right than rush to a label.
Medication is one tool, not the entire treatment plan.
Psychiatric medications can be highly effective, and we prescribe them with care and respect for what they can do. Some people come to us hoping to minimize medication, while others are looking for more effective medication options when their current treatment isn’t providing enough relief. We meet you where you are and consider medication within the broader context of your health, symptoms, treatment history, and goals. When medication is appropriate, our goal is finding the right treatment and dose to provide meaningful benefit while minimizing unnecessary medication and side effects.
Treatment should be collaborative.
You should understand your options. For every recommendation, we discuss the potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and what you can expect — because it's your care, and you should feel informed and confident in the decisions you make. You’ll understand the reasoning behind your treatment plan, how each recommendation may help, and how it fits into the bigger picture of your care.
Treatment should evolve.
Mental health care is not static. As your symptoms, circumstances, and goals change, your treatment plan should change with them. We regularly step back and re-ask the basic questions: Is this working? Is it still needed? Is there a better option?
Who We Serve
