I'm Dr. Jon Swan, DO, a board-certified psychiatrist practicing in Portland, Oregon. While originally from the midwest, I relocated to Portland for medical school and have considered the Pacific Northwest home ever since.
Education background:
Bachelors of Science (BS) in Nutrition - University of Minnesota
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) - ATSU-SOMA, Portland Campus
Psychiatry Residency - University of Minnesota
Before becoming a medical doctor, I had jobs ranging from barista to a published clinical nutrition researcher studying the human gut microbiome. I am passionate about preventive medicine and nutrition and incorporate these concepts into my psychiatry practice. As an osteopathic medical doctor, I understand the powerful connection between the body, mind, and spirit and incorporate this into my psychiatry practice when discussing various life factors from nutrition to sleep in understanding both disease and treatment.
During training I pursued further specialized psychotherapy training in modalities including psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive behavioral, DBT, and interpersonal therapy. Separate from my private practice I also currently work in both inpatient and day treatment settings and work with both adults and children.
