Meet Your Presenter
Oak Reed earned his BS in psychology and sociology from Central Michigan University, his MA in clinical psychology from the University of Montana, and is currently a 6th year doctoral candidate at the University of Montana. He recently defended his dissertation which investigated the impact of transgender-affirmative care training on healthcare providers' competence and confidence in delivering adequate care to gender minority individuals. Oak is currently completing his residency at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center with a focus on behavioral medicine. Over the years, he has worked across diverse clinical settings, including outpatient mental health and university-based primary care clinics, community-based outpatient medical centers, and a variety of clinics within Veterans Health Administration. Across those settings, he has worked with a range of patient concerns, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, severe mental illness, trauma-related disorders, as well as difficulties with physical activity, dietary practices, sleep hygiene, and substance use. As a result of his interest in integrated care, Oak has received specialized training on utilizing empirically-supported practices (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing) that adapt well to brief-treatment models in order to meet the needs and preferences of diverse patient populations.
