Carlos Taloyo joined the Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology in 2011 as an assistant professor of clinical psychology and director of clinical training. He arrived from Oregon State University, where he taught diversity and group therapy seminars for the previous five years. The former pre-doctoral course engaged interns in the exploration of a multicultural context for counseling, while the latter was designed to develop competence in interns in their professional functioning as group psychotherapists. He taught the group seminar for three years (2006-09), the diversity seminar for two years (2008-09), then became the coordinator of the practicum program (2009-11).
In Carlos' position as practicum coordinator, he oversaw the training and supervision of students from the George Fox PsyD program and Portland State University MSW students. Concurrently, he worked as senior staff psychologist in OSU's Counseling and Psychological Services. Previously, he taught graduate counseling courses for six years at Northwest Christian College and, from 2004 to 2006, was a psychologist resident in private practice. He also worked as a child therapist at the Miller Children's Hospital Abuse and Violence Intervention Center in Long Beach, Calif., and as a psychology clerk at USC-LAC Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Carlos holds a PhD in clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary (2004) and master's degrees in theology (2002) and psychology (2000) from Fuller. He lives in Salem with his wife Dawn and their two children, Alex and Sage. They attend Trinity Covenant Church, where Dawn is the associate pastor.
