CReATE's Mission
|
The objective of science is to establish knowledge. The science of psychology, although relatively young, has provided a wealth of data about how individuals grow and develop, acquire skills, cope with stress, and experience joy and well being. Since its inception, a little over one hundred years ago, the science of psychology has become increasingly prepared to answer sophisticated and nuanced questions. Currently, treatment-oriented psychologists have dual roles as scientists and practitioners, possessing the tools needed to examine the effectiveness of services and to utilize research findings, as they become available.
CReATE’s mission is to integrate the disciplines of science and practice. We utilize research findings to direct our approach to the clinical process. Our conceptualization of a client’s needs and our clinical recommendations are firmly grounded in empirical evidence. The dynamic nature of clinical practice requires rigorous scientific evaluation to maintain the effectiveness of services. Thus, the integration of research and practice is a true marriage of disciplines. By merging the principles of good practice with the standards for rigorous scientific research, we provide the highest quality, evidenced-based services and research development to clients.
