The Value of Evidence-Based Treatment
Evidence-based treatment (also known as empirically-supported therapy) is the highest standard of care for therapy. It is scientifically-based and proven by research to be the most effective treatment for a given condition. Compared to other forms of talk therapy or interventions that have not undergone rigorous evaluation, evidence-based treatments tend to be shorter in duration and help people achieve longer-lasting symptom improvement.
Evidence-based treatments for mental health conditions and relationship distress exist, but few psychologists are trained to provide them in the community. The Center is based in San Diego and provides specialized, personally-tailored evidence-based therapies to individuals and couples throughout California.
