Experience

I’ve practiced clinical psychology in Portland since 1993. My internships and residencies focused on assessing and treating children, adolescents, and adults. My training was broadly based but grounded in neuropsychological assessment, evidence-based treatment approaches including behavioral, social learning, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and solution focused work. I consult with all ages of people and students. 

Current Practice

My psychology practice is pragmatic and guided by Motivational Interviewing, ACT, and combinations of other approaches. I work in a collaborative way with you and your family to help you meet your goals. We spend time clarifying what you’d like to change, what your core values are, and what beliefs or ideas create problems. We may do an assessment or psychotherapy, based on what you need. I’ve designed my practice to be personal and often available by phone for emergencies or urgent issues. Email me at dr.michael.fulop@bdtxpdx.com. 

I work with students and people no longer in school. Students I work with arrive from all types of schools, colleges, and post-graduate situations. I assess learning and achievement problems and help people cope with complexities seen often with A.D.H.D. and self-regulation deficits. I often prepare documents to get students qualified for extended time on the SAT examinations. I also specialize in helping children or adults with diabetes distress and others issues from T1 or T2 diabetes.

An important facet of my practice is strength-oriented treatment and follow-up. I practice within a Motivational Interviewing adherent framework, and have been trained as a Motivational Interviewing Trainer (MINT). I’m available for treatment or consultation for a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, diabetes distress, familial conflict, behavioral issues, and parent training.
