About this page
We know of one therapist licensed in Oregon who offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Tinnitus (see below). The remainder of this page lists online and written resources, including online programs and a self-help book. CBT for tinnitus is similar to CBT for chronic pain, and there are quite a few therapists licensed in Oregon who offer that (see our Chronic Pain referral list).
