Guided by Research, Tailored to You
At Insight Psychology Center, we are dedicated to offering the highest quality mental health treatment possible and we work diligently to reach that goal. We apply the American Psychological Association’s 2006 definition of evidence-based practice (EBP) to our clinical work: “The integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of the patient characteristics, culture and preference” (American Psychological Association Presidential Task Force on Evidence-Based Practice, 2006; p. 273).
Our psychologists are continually learning new skills, reading scholarly publications to remain current in our field, and applying scientific research on interpersonal neuroscience, trauma and the brain, therapeutic outcome, clinical success, and effective couples therapy to our clinical cases.
During your first meeting we will conduct a thorough clinical assessment to collect information about why you are seeking help, what your goals are, and important aspects of your personal, emotional, physical, and social history. This information is used to develop appropriate treatment options and tailor therapeutic style to your individual needs over time. Then you will collaborate with your clinician about which treatment methods to use and how to prioritize your treatment goals.
We are also committed to receiving frequent feedback regarding client engagement (the highest predictor of positive outcome) and clinical outcome from each and every client, each and every session, using “ultra-brief” surveys that take 30 seconds to complete. This collected “practice-based evidence” not only guides our evidence-based practice but has also been shown to boost client retention and improve clinical progress (Duncan, Miller, Wampold & Hubble, 2010).
