Evergreen Clinical company information, Employees & Contact Information

A simple solution. An expression of values. Mission, justice, hope. MISSION Evergreen Clinical was created out of a desire to provide services to those without insurance and thus had limited options for receiving care. The original model was simple, and it has remained so for over a decade: Keep fees very low by keeping expenses very low. George Fox graduate students receive training in return for serving as therapists at EGC, so they work without pay. EGC’s founder, Dr. Brian Goff, donates his time, expertise, office space and infrastructure without compensation. Individuals donate to pay for technology, trainings and so forth. Evergreen being a missional endeavor; it exists wholly as vehicle to advance service-related values. JUSTICE Evergreen Clinical provides psychological services to a wide variety of people with diverse concerns. Services vary but primarily involve individual psychotherapy for adults. We believe all individuals should have equal access. We join in the call for healthcare for all, but until this is a reality, we are attempting to stand in the gap in our own way. HOPE We utilize evidence-based therapies, most prominently Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Evidenced-based therapy is therapy informed by science. We are continually educating ourselves so that our work is informed by research and that we are implementing the most effective treatments in the most effective manner. This maximizes our chances of having a positive outcome. While we acknowledge and work within the diagnostic framework of modern clinical psychology, we do not believe that our clients are “sick” and need to be “cured of pathology.” Informed by ACT, we are focused on how we all, as humans, struggle, and what we can do about it live more vital, meaningful and engaged lives. In a nutshell, we see the goal of therapy more closely tied to living well than feeling good, and we fully believe this can be done and there is hope. 501c3. Tax ID: 26-0685758
