About
Rivercrest was founded by Dr. Heather Bacon in an effort to meet the needs of Umatilla county and surrounding areas. Dr. Bacon has a background in working with children and families. Her experience with these families brought more attention to the growing needs of the expanding community.
Rivercrest’s providers are trained in evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral, person-centered, integrative family systems, and somatic techniques.
We value: Rural culture, diversity, community partnership, advocacy, and hard work.
“We understand the difficulties initiating help and accessing care in rural areas. We are committed to providing quality services that may help bridge this gap. At Rivercrest, you are important to us and we are here for you.”
Getting started is easy
First Appointment
The first visit is intended to gather background information and details of current concerns so that an effective and collaborate treatment plan can be developed. All paperwork must be completed prior to your first appointment. For children, parents are encouraged to join the first visit in order to provide background information including developmental history, trauma, social, school, behavioral concerns, and other contributing details.
