The Deaf Community in Oregon


The Oregon School for the Deaf in Salem has served the state since 1870, and Deaf Oregonians build community from Portland and Eugene to Bend and the coast. Oregon's independent streak runs through its Deaf culture too — people want care on their own terms. Online ASL therapy, on your schedule, fits exactly that.


How Online ASL Therapy Works


The process starts with a simple hello. Reach out, and our intake team will match you with an Oregon-licensed therapist suited to your goals. Sessions run on secure, HIPAA-compliant video from wherever you're comfortable — your language, your therapist, your schedule.


Insurance & Costs


Coverage shouldn't be a mystery. We work with most major commercial plans and Medicare, and offer single-case agreements (SCAs) when we're not already paneled with your plan. Our team confirms your benefits before your first appointment and explains everything plainly.


Why Deaf Clients in Oregon Choose My Deaf Therapy


What sets us apart in Oregon: therapists licensed here (check the state lookup — we insist you can), fluency in ASL without interpreters, and the depth of the nation's largest Deaf therapy team, where clinicians receive continuous supervision and training. Quality care, done right.
