What is Evidence-Based Intervention?
Evidence-based intervention is a treatment based on research and scientific studies that have been shown to be effective for the specific difficulty that you are seeking help for. This means you may receive a different type of treatment depending on your specific issue so that therapy for trauma, anxiety, or depression may be treated with a different approach. Evidenced-based interventions are time-limited and require daily practice assignments with a high level of commitment which makes them more effective than traditional talk therapy.
Evidenced-based interventions offered:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Cognitive Processing Therapy
- Exposure with Response Prevention
- Interoceptive Exposure Therapy
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (individual only)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
- Parent Child Interaction Therapy
Evidenced-based interventions are time-limited and require more commitment and active engagement than traditional talk therapy. For example, Cognitive Processing is typically 12 weeks while Dialectical Behavior Therapy can take 4 – 6 months. Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can last as little as 6 weeks. Good candidates for evidence-based therapy are clients who are highly motivated to make significant changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and are willing to practice new skills outside of therapy.
