About OHSU Avel Gordly Center for Healing, Portland
OHSU Avel Gordly Center for Healing is an OHSU psychiatric and behavioral health clinic in Portland, Oregon providing Afrocentric, culturally responsive care for African and African American communities while serving people of all backgrounds.
The center delivers trauma informed psychiatric services and counseling, medication management and treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions.
I like that its mission blends clinical care with community education, meeting patients where they are and helping reduce stigma around mental health and addiction.
Culturally Responsive Care
The center's core focus is culturally sensitive behavioral healthcare that integrates mental health, substance use and trauma informed treatment.
Its team includes psychiatrists and a psychologist, licensed professional counselors and addiction focused professionals such as a master addiction counselor and a certified drug and alcohol counselor.
Care includes psychiatric evaluation, medication management and therapy.
Providers draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based approaches and trauma informed practices to address both symptoms and underlying root causes, including alcohol, drug and dual diagnosis concerns.
Community Outreach and Education
Beyond clinical treatment, the center is committed to a broader community mission of outreach, training and stigma reduction.
I want to add that it offers education for healthcare and social service professionals on culturally responsive care for African American patients and communities, helping build stronger support networks across the region.
