Most of our Salem patients are seen by secure-video telehealth — it's faster to schedule and works well for adult ADHD, depression, anxiety, and ongoing medication management. For patients who prefer to be seen in person, our Salem office is open Monday–Friday with a typical 2–3 week wait. Telehealth appointments are usually available within a week.
Salem is Oregon's capital and a city of working professionals — state employees, healthcare workers, teachers, and Willamette University students — many of whom have struggled to find psychiatry with actual openings. Our Salem office was designed to close that gap, with reserved new-patient appointments every week and a typical two-week wait.
We regularly see patients referred by primary care at Salem Hospital, Salem Clinic, and Kaiser, as well as self-referrals from Keizer, Independence, Monmouth, Silverton, Dallas, and Woodburn. The most common reasons adults come in: a first adult ADHD evaluation, depression that hasn't responded to one or two SSRIs, anxiety making work or school untenable, and second opinions on complicated medication regimens.
Our approach is clinician-led and unhurried. Follow-ups are timed to how you're actually feeling — every 2 weeks during a medication change, every 3 months once you're stable. We accept nine insurance plans common in the Mid-Willamette Valley, and we verify benefits before your first appointment so there are no billing surprises.
Full diagnostic evaluation with validated scales. Stimulant and non-stimulant treatment, with DEA-compliant monitoring.
Major depression, persistent low mood, postpartum depression, and treatment-resistant depression strategies.
Generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, health anxiety — with thoughtful alternatives to long-term benzodiazepine use.
Attentive ongoing care for established adults, including second-opinion reviews of complex regimens.
For adults outside easy driving distance, telehealth visits across Oregon let you see the same Salem-based clinicians from home — ideal for remote workers and patients balancing care with full schedules.
