Integrated Behavioral Health Services

In-clinic and virtual visits with OCH's Behavioral Health Consultants (BHCs) can help with stress management, conversations about gender identity, and gender dysphoria. They can also provide letters of support for those wanting surgery to support gender expression. BHCs can help you learn to thrive in who you want to be and be the best version of yourself.

  • The BHC is not a traditional counselor or therapist, but a member of your primary care team who helps you with problems that affect your overall health. The BHC works closely with your primary care provider to improve health concerns.

STD Screenings and Family Planning Access

Our medical team offers screening and treatment for all STDs, PrEP for appropriate patients, and a wide variety of family planning options.

School-Based Behavioral Health Services

Our BCHs are providing in-person and telehealth support services that allow children to conveniently access credentialed behavioral health professionals while at school. We provide a wide range of services that include mental/behavioral health support as well as age-appropriate reproductive health and counseling.

For in-person visits, OCH has a School-Based Health Center (SBHC) located at Hood River Valley High School. Students enrolled in Hood River County School District are eligible to receive services at SBHC. Click here to learn more, or to schedule an IN-PERSON appointment.
