Mental Health Occupational Therapist (Remote)

Mental Health Occupational Therapist – Full-Time (Portland, OR)

This is a full-time, salaried opportunity designed for an Occupational Therapist who wants to build real depth in adult mental health over time.

At Holistic Community Therapy, we provide structured, community-based and virtual mental health services for adults. Our work involves comprehensive assessment, clinical formulation, and functional treatment of complex mental health presentations within an insurance-based outpatient model.

Mental health remains a small specialty area within OT. This role is best suited to someone who wants to build depth in that part of practice over time.

Our client population includes individuals from historically marginalized communities. We value cultural humility, lived experience, and clinicians who reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
