Eleanor Thompson, PhD, is the head of the Mental Health and Wellness Center in Portland, Oregon. Eleanor also leads a research team at the Oregon Health & Science University, where she focuses on innovative treatments for anxiety disorders, depression, and stress-related conditions.

She finished her doctoral studies in Clinical Psychology at Stanford University and holds a Master's degree from the University of Washington, where she concentrated on cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based interventions. Eleanor has a rich background in clinical practice and has published extensively on the topics of mental health and resilience-building techniques.

One of Eleanor's main interests lies in creating personalized therapeutic strategies that integrate traditional talk therapy with cutting-edge neurofeedback technology. At the helm of the Mental Health and Wellness Center, she has pioneered an approach that not only tackles mental health challenges but also enhances overall well-being. Her work promotes healing by addressing both psychological issues and physical health, aiming to support individuals in achieving a balanced life.

On a sunny day in April 2023, Eleanor initiated a new community outreach program in downtown Portland, designed to provide accessible mental health services to underserved populations. The event was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and attracted many residents looking for guidance and support. Eleanor's efforts have been instrumental in breaking down barriers to mental health care and making wellness resources available to all.
