What does Evidence Based Therapy mean?
Dr. Kim uses methods that have been proven through research studies, performed by scientists, that show evidence that they are effective. In other words, scientists have shown through research studies that when one group of clients or participants received a specific therapy method, a significant improvement took place (versus a group that didn't receive the method or received a different method). These effective specific methods are referred to as evidence based therapy methods.
