Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, & Training Center, PC - Portland, Oregon

The Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, & Training Center, PC currently consists of Jason Luoma, Jenna LeJeune , and a postdoctoral resident (in 2009-2010 this is Brian Thompson). Each year, we hire a new postdoctoral resident who provides evidence-based psychotherapy, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in our clinic, along with substantial time devoted to research. We have also developed a specialty clinic devoted to the treatment of mood disorders and hope to begin collecting data there soon.

Current research projects include:

  • Developing an ACT and RFT-based intervention for chronic shame
  • Stigma toward addiction, particularly in the context of addictions treatment systems
  • Effectiveness of various approaches to training practitioners in ACT, particularly those based on methods such as elearning and videoconferencing

We are open to collaborating with anyone with similar interests and will take on students for mentoring in research, even if this is done remotely.

We regularly offer trainings through the clinic that are mainly in the Pacific Northwest area.
