Jason Luoma, Ph.D.

Dr. Luoma

Dr. Luoma is a Licensed Psychologist in Oregon (#1661). He has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology describes his approach to the psychotherapy in the following manner: "I provide evidence-based psychotherapy for people who are struggling with the difficulties that life often presents, to help them let go of that struggle and create whole, vital lives that can be lived with integrity. I strive to help people live better, to be more fully alive in their lives, present to each moment, and accepting of themselves. I help people to clarify what matters most in their lives and act toward that end. I tend to be fairly active in therapy and provide structure in sessions to help people learn new and more effective ways of responding to troubling emotions and thoughts that can serve as barriers to fuller, richer lives. I also work to respect diversity in my clients and work to adapt my work to people's unique values and culture. Many of the methods I use come from a type of cognitive behavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)." To learn more about Dr. Luoma, you can visit his personal webpage. Along with Dr. Thompson, he writes about the science of mindfulness at the blog: Scientific Mindfulness.
