Background

About Joel Grow

My work as a clinical psychologist includes individual psychotherapy, group therapy, training, and consulting. I offer evidence-supported treatment that incorporates self-compassion, mindfulness, and acceptance-based approaches. I have expertise working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, anger management, trauma, loss, and relationship dissatisfaction. I particularly enjoy leading Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) and Mindful Self Compassion (MSC) groups. I also offer professional trainings and consulting in MBRP, as well as stress management workshops for organizations. I am also a member of the clinical faculty at the University of Washington Department of Psychology. My background includes providing behavioral health care and trainings/workshops in community agencies, VA and private hospitals, specialized medical settings, corporations, and government agencies. Before graduate school, I spent 6 years as a software engineer and in-house trainer/instructor at Amazon.com. I also co-developed and served as lead instructor for a 9-month University of Washington certificate program for 9 years, and was awarded the UW "Award for teaching excellence."
