Joe MiloschStudent ClinicianJoe is currently in the second year of his Master of Arts for Applied Psychological Sciences program at Pacific University and completing his practicum at NWAI as a student clinician.

Joe is a curious person who is always searching for something new to explore. Whether it’s a new place, a different country, history, art, conspiracies, or groundbreaking research, he thrives with the opportunity to learn new things. He is a compassionate individual who thrives in an environment where he can utilize his listening and relatable personality to provide a safe and caring place for others. Joe is approachable and easy to talk to. Sometimes he is surprisingly friendly, starting conversations with strangers on the MAX or while waiting in line for a ski lift. Joe’s sister is 21 years older than him and she has two children who he regularly plays Pokémon Go with to stay connected. He deeply values the relationship with his sister, nephews, family, and partner, and considers them an integral factor in his personal and career development. When Joe isn’t studying or providing ABA services, he loves to do outdoor activities—snowboarding, hiking, camping, and longboarding, among other things. |
