Tracking Outcomes in Therapy

The most effective therapy doesn’t just feel better—it shows. That’s why I use brief, validated tools to track real progress & adapt treatment as you grow. 

Clients deserve therapy that is effective, measurable, and transparent. In my practice, I use validated tools—PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, and Y-BOCS—to track progress in depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. These measures are the gold standard in behavioral health and are used by major healthcare systems, insurance panels, and clinical research trials.

The second section displays a clipboard with checkmarks labeled "Guides Treatment" with the text "Informs adjusting therapy to meet changing needs." The third section has a smiley face icon labeled "Boosts Motivation" with the text "Shows evidence of success and reinforces effort." The fourth section presents speech bubbles labeled "Enhances Communication" with the text "Facilitates discussions between therapist and client."

What this means:
My clients show significantly higher improvement rates across all four major symptom areas compared to typical outcomes reported in research. I use evidence-based treatments tailored to each person, and these results reflect consistent progress and strong therapeutic response.
