At the Redwood Center, we aim to stay up-to-date on research relevant to our patients and trainees, to bring a scientific approach to our work with our patients, to conduct research, and to contribute to the scientific psychological literature. 

We pursue those goals via:

• Evidence-based treatment and training. Our treatment and trainings are informed by findings in the scientific literature.

• Scientific approach to treatment and training. We collect data at every therapy session to help guide our decisions in our work with patients. The data inform us and our patients about whether we are meeting each patient's needs and whether changes in the work we do together might help us better meet those needs.

• Contributing to science. Using our clinical and training data, we make conference presentations and write papers to further general understanding of CBT and factors that might impact how patients respond to CBT. We offer the opportunity to participate in research to our patients, but this participation is completely optional and choosing not to participate does not impact treatment in any way.

• Research informs treatment and training. We read and discuss psychological and psychiatric research, attend scientific conferences, and serve as reviewers for journals and conferences.
