Oluwatoyosi Dasilva

Oluwatoyosi Dasilva

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Oregon


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience in mental health care, supporting individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. Through my work, I have cared for clients with a wide range of needs, including chronic and severe mental health conditions, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate symptoms while trying to maintain daily life.

My care philosophy is centered on partnership. Treatment is not about taking over your care, but about working with you to explore your symptoms, goals, and values. Together, we develop a treatment plan that feels respectful, personalized, and empowering. If you have concerns or hesitations about medication, we will discuss all available options openly and thoughtfully, moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and other mood and thought-related conditions. During the initial session, we focus on understanding your concerns, reviewing your history, and identifying practical steps toward improvement. Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, brief psychotherapy, education, and ongoing support.

I believe mental health care should feel supportive, clear, and collaborative—not rushed or overwhelming.

You do not have to face these challenges alone. My role is to help you reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and regain balance so you can function at your best and move forward with confidence and stability.

I spent 18 years as a firefighter and EMT, showing up for people at their most vulnerable and helping heal their physical wounds. Now, I bring that same dedication to helping people heal their emotional wounds as a Licensed Professional Counselor with Love Focused Counseling. I've been in the mental health field since 2012 — from residential care to private practice — and I founded my practice on one belief: the most important relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself. When that relationship is strong and stable, you can show up fully in every other area of your life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Portland, OR

Finding addiction therapists in Portland starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, compulsive behaviors, and recovery maintenance. As you compare therapists, look for training that matches what you want to work on, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, relapse prevention, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Portland has many addiction counselors across neighborhoods like Northwest Portland, Southeast Portland, and the Pearl District, which can make it useful to narrow your search by format, schedule, and approach. In-person sessions may fit well if you prefer a local office near work, home, or transit. Virtual sessions can expand access when schedule, commute, or provider availability matters. Read therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their work with addiction, whether they mention harm reduction or recovery experience, and whether their communication style feels like a fit.

Therapy in Portland can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process simpler by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, offering upfront cost estimates after insurance verification, and letting you book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare addiction therapists in Portland by specialty, availability, location, and insurance fit.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
