What is “Evidence-Based Therapy” and why is it important?
When a therapy is referred to as “evidence-based,” that means a significant quantity and quality of research proves it to be successful and effective. At Audra Walsh Psychology Group, we are committed to staying on the cutting edge of evidence-based therapy. We know that what works best is grounded in research and proven to yield positive outcomes. Our therapists offer a variety of evidence-based approaches, allowing us to choose from a wide array of highly effective interventions for our clients, all with a track record of success.
At Audra Walsh Psychology Group we are dedicated to supporting parents in navigating the challenges of parenthood and fostering healthy family dynamics. Parent consultation and coaching, including Parent Management Therapy (PMT), is one of the specialized services we offer to empower and equip parents with tools to help solve problems, support healthy development and family relationships, and enhance the parenting experience.
PCIT is backed by decades of extensive research and has been shown to be highly effective in improving child behavior and parent-child relationships. It's considered one of the gold-star treatments for young children with behavioral challenges and leads to significant improvements in child behavior, parenting practices and satisfaction, and overall family functioning.
CBT is one of the most researched therapies and backed by extensive evidence demonstrating its effectiveness for a wide range of mental health concerns in children, adolescents and adults. Countless studies have shown CBT to be a powerful tool for improving mental health and overall well-being. Our therapists are skilled at providing CBT for both children and adults.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is supported by extensive research demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing trauma-related symptoms. Numerous studies have shown that TF-CBT can significantly improve the emotional well-being of individuals who have experienced trauma.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) designed to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, and related conditions. ERP involves intentionally exposing individuals to situations, objects, or thoughts that trigger their anxiety while simultaneously preventing the typical compulsive or avoidant behaviors.
ACT is supported by a growing body of research demonstrating its effectiveness in improving mental health and overall well-being. It emphasizes mindfulness, acceptance, and committed action to help people live a life aligned with their values, even in the presence of emotional pain or discomfort. Numerous studies have shown that ACT can help individuals reduce psychological distress, enhance their relationships, and lead more meaningful lives.
We are committed to helping individuals of all ages thrive in their social interactions. Social Skills Training is one of the valuable services we offer to enhance social relationships, boost self-confidence, and navigate social interactions with ease. We use a neurodivergent affirming approach in Social Skills Training, so we are never asking how to change a child or adult to better fit them to their environment, but rather asking how can we help our clients identify skills they would like to build to feel more empowered in social situations.
Supportive counseling is one of the valuable services we offer to provide a safe and empathetic space for individuals experiencing changes in their lives. Supportive counseling can provide you or your loved ones with the emotional support and guidance needed to navigate life's transitions with resilience and grace. We are here to support you on your journey towards greater emotional well-being.
