How We Work

At the Redwood Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Research, we provide cognitive behavior therapy that is individualized, evidence-based, and compassionate.

We do this by attending to the following principles in our work:

  • Approaching each patient we see as a unique individual

    by aiming to wholly understand each person - their symptoms, context, needs, values, goals, and cultural background.
     

  • Committing to an active partnership

    with our patients to identify their needs, direct their care, and ensure a successful therapy experience.
     

  • Monitoring therapy progress 

    and actively asking for feedback to improve the therapy.
     

  • Working with each patient to develop a shared understanding

    of how the problems that are bringing them to treatment might be interconnected.
     

  • Staying aware of the current empirical literature and conducting our own research

    to learn about effective strategies for improving therapy outcomes
