Luoma is CEO and senior scientist at Portland Psychotherapy. His research covers shame, self-stigma, connection, ACT, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. [1]
He led an early Pacific Northwest trial of therapy that used MDMA. He also coauthored Learning ACT and Values in Therapy. [1]
Luoma and Jenna LeJeune founded Portland Psychotherapy in 2007. The clinic uses revenue from care and training to pay for research. [2]
This mix gives his work a place near management. Trust him on shame, self-stigma, and change. Yet his work does not test managers or firms. Work and therapy also differ in power and consent. Move the findings with care. [1] [2]
