As of October 1st, Ancora will unfortunately no longer be able to accept CareOregon as we are not a contracted provider.
We will be assisting clients with finding options for continued care, if desired.
You can speak about your concerns and grievances with Oregon Health Authority (OHA):
OHP Client Services unit (CSU) toll free at 800-273-0557 or OHA’s Ombudsman at 503-947-2346 or toll free at 877-642-0450.

CareOregon has long footed the bill for its Oregon Health Plan members to see out-of-network behavioral health professionals. That's changing, and soon.

We are expanding our art therapy group into the fall!

This group is perfect for helpers, healers, and those who hold space- especially if you've been struggling to decide how best to take care of yourself.

Groups can done individually or as a full series, practicing different skills and incorporating nature and mindfulness (as well as art, of course).

No art experience is necessary! From one healer to another, I hope you'll join us.

Hey (with the intention of breaking you out of your doom scrolling)...
.. Have a fantastic day!

Some days feel heavy. Some seasons, even heavier.
And sometimes, despite our best efforts, we're just not okay.

At Ancora, we want to remind you: that's not a failure. It's part of being human.
You don’t have to hide your struggle or tie it up in a neat little bow. You’re allowed to be messy, overwhelmed, uncertain—or anything else you’re feeling.

It’s okay to not be okay.
And it’s okay to ask for help, too.

We’re here when you’re ready.

Psychologically speaking, we’re not meant to exist in isolation. Our nervous systems are wired for connection—for being seen, supported, and understood.

(And I've been so lucky in the connection department.)

On this International Friendship Day, we’re thinking about the friends who’ve shown up for us at different stages of life. The ones who stayed. The ones who arrived out of nowhere, just when we needed them.

Some friendships last decades, others a season—but all of them remind us that healing, growth, and joy are rarely solo acts.

Here’s to the friends who walk alongside us, hold our stories, and remind us we don’t have to do it alone.
