Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, & Training Center - Portland, Oregon (ACT/RFT; post-doc; USA)

The Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, & Training Center, PC is a research and training clinic that focuses on promoting the role of science in guiding psychotherapy practice. Each year, we hire a new postdoctoral resident who provides evidence-based psychotherapy and gains specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in our clinic, along with substantial time devoted to research. We regularly provide experiential classes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and postdocs have a chance to participate in those courses. We also have a specialty clinic devoted to the treatment of mood disorders.

Current research projects include:

• Developing ACT and RFT-based interventions for chronic shame
• Stigma toward addiction, particularly in the context of addictions treatment systems
• A randomzied effectiveness trial of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention
• Development of an Implicit Measure of Experiential Avoidance

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