- Barriers to mental health service use
Evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapies and mindfulness-based stress reduction program have been demonstrated to be very effective in reducing common problems such as depression, anxiety, insomnia and disordered eating and improving quality of life for many. Interventions are brief, problem-focused, and very cost-effective compared to traditional psychotherapies or medication. Yet, many individuals (e.g. ethnic minorities, immigrants, elderly) do not seek or receive this quality care. My research focuses on modifying these interventions for use among underserved and overlooked populations, addressing barriers, and improving access to such care.
