Welcome! We're glad you're here.


Confluence Clinic is an intimate holistic health clinic in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon, where we have been offering Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Massage, and Psychotherapy to our Portland community for over 10 years.

We invite you to an experience of being seen, listened to, and treated as a whole person whose health and well-being matter. We specialize in those tricky issues, where little seems to help, or where you've almost given up. Where others see limitation, we see possibility, and have dedicated ourselves to helping our clients and patients find paths to health, healing, and wholeness, wherever they are starting from.

All practitioners are Confluence are body-positive and LGBTQ+ friendly. ​Insurance and motor-vehicle accident billing available. In-network billing for massage available.

Black Lives Matter

​Confluence Clinic stands in absolute solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives. Racism is a public health crisis and must be addressed. We stand in solidarity with the protests and the movement for radical criminal justice reform in our community, and the addressing of systemic racism and white supremacy at all levels of government.

If you are looking for a way to take action during these times and don't know where to start, we can't recommend highly enough engaging with Western States Center. Try taking their pledge that gives you 21 days of action to take now.
