Jim Doorley

Jim Doorley is a clinical fellow at the Integrated Brain Health Clinical and Research Program (IBHCRP) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and a clinical psychology doctoral candidate at George Mason University.

His research and clinical interests include mindfulness- and acceptance-based treatments as well as mind-body interventions to reduce anxiety/avoidance and enhance physical functioning among individuals with pain and sport-related musculoskeletal injuries.

Jim’s interests also extend to understanding the role of psychological flexibility in improving emotional and physical outcomes among these patient populations. Previously, he worked with athletes recovering from injuries and provided sport psychology consultation at the Inova Hospital Sports Medicine Concussion Program and United States Naval Academy. For his dissertation, Jim received a grant from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to explore the role of positive emotion regulation and self-compassion in promoting resilience and performance rebound among college athletes.
