What Is Evidence-Based Therapy?

Evidence-based therapy (EBT) refers to approaches that have been rigorously studied and shown through scientific research to be effective in treating specific mental health concerns. Examples include:

· Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression

· Trauma-Focused Therapy for post-traumatic stress

· Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) for stress and emotional regulation

When using evidence-based therapy, I apply these well-established methods to help address challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns.

What Is Evidence-Informed Therapy?

Evidence-informed therapy also relies on research and clinical evidence but allows more flexibility. Instead of using a single structured model, I integrate multiple approaches and adapt them to you as an individual. This means I combine the best available research with my professional experience and your preferences, ensuring therapy is both effective and personalized.

How I Use These Approaches in Practice

In my work, I often blend evidence-based interventions with evidence-informed practices. For example, I may use structured tools from CBT alongside more integrative approaches such as relational therapy, mindfulness practices, and good old fashioned compassion. This allows me to honor what research shows is effective while also achieving your goals, within your values, in a language and style that is comfortable to you.

Why This Matters for You

By combining evidence-based and evidence-informed approaches, I provide therapy that is:

· Grounded in research so you know what we’re doing has real support

· Flexible and adaptive to your needs and preferences

· Holistic and integrative, drawing from multiple perspectives to support your healing
