Quick answer

Vancouver, WA residents aged 13 and up can get psychiatric evaluation and medication management from Progressive Pathways Psychiatry by secure video. The provider is licensed in Washington, so each visit must start while you are in Washington. A visit from your Portland workplace is not possible, but one from home in Clark County is.

Care for Vancouver, WA residents

Vancouver sits inside the Portland metropolitan area, and many residents cross the Columbia every day for work. That shapes how telehealth works here more than anywhere else in the state: the Washington license covers you only while you are in Washington, so a lunch-break visit from a Portland office cannot happen. The federal government also designates a low-income mental health professional shortage area in southwest Clark County and a geographic shortage area across the north of the county.

This page also covers Camas and Battle Ground.

Living in Washington, working in Oregon

The state line runs down the middle of the Columbia, and for telehealth it decides everything. Your appointment is legally a Washington visit only if you are in Washington when it happens, so the simplest plan is to book around your commute: before you cross, after you come home, or on a Saturday. If you are already in Portland when a visit is due, call the office to move it rather than joining from there.

Pregnancy, birth and the months after

Mood problems around pregnancy are common, and they are treatable. Pregnancy and postpartum care covers depression and anxiety during pregnancy, after birth and while feeding, with medication choices weighed carefully for both parent and baby. Patients need to be 13 or older and in Washington for each visit.

Questions people ask

Frequently asked questions

I live in Vancouver but work in Portland. When can I have my visit?

Book a time when you will be on the Washington side of the river, at home or anywhere else in the state. The visit cannot go ahead while you are in Oregon, because the license covers patients located in Washington.

Do you see Oregon residents?

Not from Oregon. Washington care is for people who are physically in Washington during each visit, so someone who lives in Portland cannot be seen from home.

What is the crisis line for Clark County?

The Southwest Washington crisis line, 1-800-626-8137, covers Clark County around the clock. 988 takes calls and texts at any hour too. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
