Jason Luoma, Ph.D., professional background

Background and Experience:

I am Licensed Psychologist in Oregon (#1661). I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and M.A.in Psychology. I have completed extensive postdoctoral training under the supervision of Dr. Steven Hayes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My practice focuses on providing evidence-based psychotherapy.

In the past I have done clinic work in numerous clinical settings: an employee assistance program, a psychotherapy training and research clinic, a suicide prevention hotline, private practices, a parole and probation program, a college counseling center, a homeless outreach center, a GLBT outreach center, an HIV wellness service, an inpatient treatment center, an outpatient mental health center, a medical school, and a veterans affairs hospital.

Currently, I work in several settings. In addition to my independent practice in Portland, I am an administrative professor, project coordinator, and training director at the University of Nevada, Reno. Additionally, I conduct a line of research which focuses on training therapists in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, reducing burnout in therapists, and reducing stigma among individuals with substance abuse problems. I am currently a co-principle investigator on a grant with Barbara Kohlenberg, Ph.D. and Steven Hayes, Ph.D. that is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to develop and evaluate a group therapy intervention to reduce the effects of self-stigma in people with substance abuse problems. I am also a co-principle investigator on a grant with Steven Hayes, Ph.D., Barbara Kohlenberg, Ph.D., and Nancy Roget, M.S. that is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to study group workshops intended to reduce the effects of stigma and burnout substance abuse counselors. I travel around the country giving workshops on Acceptance and Commitment Training as part of this research. I also conducting a couple studies on the effects of training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on professionals learning ACT.
