Dr. Carlo Calabrese focuses his practice on naturopathic psychological medicine and offers integrated treatment with biological and psychosocial perspectives.
Most of us, at some time or other, have mood and relationship problems or behaviors of our own that are not what we want them to be. Sometimes we know what might be best for us but haven’t yet managed the actions needed. Sometimes it is simply hard to come to terms with our health after having been to one caregiver after another. Dr. Calabrese brings a deep understanding of current evidence-based diagnosis and treatment to your immediate experience of illness and to the sometimes strenuous effort to be well.
His practice is based in his experience in clinical research. He has been performing and publishing research in natural medicine for 25 years, including clinical trials and observational studies in nutrients, botanicals, and complex CAM practices for a variety of conditions. Early in his career, he was the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians’ first Physician of the Year for leading the team that established national educational accreditation for naturopathic doctors. He has been the Director of National College of Naturopathic Medicine’s Portland teaching clinic and its Dean of Clinical Education. He was a founder and co-director of the Bastyr U. Research Institute and authored the first successful applications for an NIH grant to a naturopathic institution. He developed the first basic sciences laboratory and the first research clinical facility at a complementary medicine institution.
