About

About Leading Edge Therapy

Evidence-based therapy is therapy that has been proven to work by science. Too often these highly effective Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods are not widespread or easily accessible to people who need them. Leading Edge Therapy was created to spread access to these highly effective treatments. We are passionate about bringing the best scientific evidence and compassionate care into our psychological practice and creating an easy hassle-free way to access it.

Our passion is to be there for you throughout the journey and help you achieve results that can be measured. Leading Edge Therapy has a strong commitment to create a safe, private, and nonjudgmental space for you to build trust with your therapist.

Meet our Team

Jamie Loor, Ph.D.
Co-Founder and Clinical Director

I founded Leading Edge Therapy after seeing how effective, evidence-based therapy could change people’s lives—and how difficult it could be to access. I am especially passionate about helping people recover from trauma and PTSD, overcome eating difficulties, and make lasting changes while living with chronic pain or illness.

I earned my PhD in clinical psychology at the University of New Mexico, completed my clinical internship at the Durham VA Health Care System, and pursued postdoctoral research at UNM. My experience includes national VA training in PTSD treatment, clinical work on NIH-funded and other nationally funded studies, and more than 17 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters.

My approach combines compassionate care with practical, research-supported strategies to help you make measurable progress toward your goals. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, practicing yoga, and incorporating mindfulness into daily life. You can learn more about my background and approach on Psychology Today and LinkedIn.

Fred A. Loor, MD, MPH
Co-Founder

Growing up in rural Ecuador, I saw how delays in treatments supported by the best available evidence could affect health and survival, with deeply personal consequences for patients and families. This shaped my commitment to closing gaps in care. I completed my preventive medicine residency and addiction medicine fellowship at the University of New Mexico.

As a physician, I have seen medications save lives. I have also seen patients struggle to access effective treatments beyond medication. These include specific forms of therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and insomnia that are supported by extensive research with strong evidence for their effectiveness.

I am building Leading Edge Therapy (LET) as a telehealth platform to make effective, evidence-based therapy easier to access. We use treatments supported by strong scientific evidence to help you manage symptoms, build practical skills, and improve your daily life. Your goals guide your care, and progress is measured over time so you and your therapist can see what is working and adjust treatment as needed.
