TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AT PORTLAND MENTAL HEALTH & WELLNESS 

Portland Mental Health and Wellness is a private, group practice that offers postdocs with an interest in working with clients of diverse and intersecting identities an exciting opportunity to deepen their therapy skills. Our clinicians practice from relational and process-oriented models and focus on the whole person in the context in which they live. Staff psychologists practice from gestalt, psychodynamic, and other person-focused and process-oriented frameworks. Supervision utilizes a therapeutic model in an effort to both support and challenge our trainees to attend to both their patients and their own process.
