Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, and Training Center

Portland Psychotherapy is a Portland, Oregon behavioral health organization that combines outpatient psychotherapy, clinician training, and an internal research program. The center focuses on evidence-based psychotherapy, especially Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and related contextual behavioral approaches, and uses a social-enterprise model in which clinical revenue helps fund scientific research. Its clinical specialties include anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, couples therapy, LGBTQIA+-affirming care, and psychedelic integration and safety services. The organization also conducts behavioral and psychotherapy research, including work on stigma, shame, self-criticism, substance use, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy such as MDMA-assisted therapy for social anxiety disorder. In addition, it offers professional workshops, research assistant opportunities, and postdoctoral training.
