Portland Psychotherapy is a clinic, research and training center. A central part of our mission is to use science to develop novel methods to help people live better lives and alleviate the suffering that is part of living as a human being, and then share those methods with other clinicians.
Research
Approximately 16 cents of every dollar we take in at Portland Psychotherapy goes to support scientific research. You can read about our projects and publications, as well as ways to get involved in research here.
Our research is made possible by an independent ethics board which reviews our research to ensure it meets the highest ethical standards. We helped establish this board, hosted by the Behavioral Health Research Collaborative in 2011. To learn more about it, click here.
Training
We host training workshops and consultation groups for clinicians seeking to learn about evidence-based approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. To learn more about our training opportunities, click here.
Overall, on our sister site, “Portland Psychotherapy Training,” you can stay up-to-date on our scientific and research endeavors.
