Research Tested Approaches

You have options, but they aren’t all effective. Consider treatments for anxiety. You could seek out hypnosis, yoga, acupuncture, medication, herbal treatments, clinical massage or individual psychotherapy. Even within individual psychotherapy, there are numerous approaches with very divergent models of human behavior. Fortunately, billions of dollars are spent on mental health research to ensure efficacious treatments are available. At present, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is funding over 500 studies on anxiety alone.

For some problems, there is little consensus on the best treatment. But for others - like anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, eating disorders, insomnia - rigorous research studies differentiate evidence based treatment models from those that don’t improve well-being, symptoms, or functioning. 

Evidence based treatment matters!

We work with a wide range of problems. No single approach is right for everyone or every problem. Nonetheless, we are committed to using evidence based treatment strategies and approaches that are grounded in scientific rigor and offer the highest likelihood of success. Sometimes this means that we use evidence based practice models that strictly follow clinical protocols. At other times, we apply evidence based principles, tailored specifically to you.
