OUR SUCCESS RATES
In the last 9 years 75% of the Relationship Therapy Center’s Clients have reached or exceeded their set goals.* How do we know this? We use Feedback Informed Treatment!
According to numerous studies – therapists using Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) have the following benefits over those not using FIT:
- Increases client improvement rates by as much as 50%
- Decreases client dropout rates by as much as 50%
- Decreases clent deterioration by up to 33%
- Significantly reduces the cost of care
This is because therapists using FIT are able to track their clients’ progress in real time, course-correct if their current approach isn’t helpful, sustain client growth, and be all-around more effective therapists so that clients are not wasting their money on unproductive treatment sessions.
Feedback Informed Treatment Frequently Asked Questions:
FIT is the routine practice of monitoring your outcome (how much you’re improving) and alliance (your professional relationship with your therapist). Both outcome and alliance have demonstrable affects on clients’ experience in therapy.
Each session begins with you filling out a 30 second measure on a tablet (or even on your own device if you are seeing your therapist remotely!) The data from that measure allows us to track how much you are improving. At the end of each session, your therapist will hand you the tablet again and you will fill out a 30 second measure about the alliance – which is to say, how you felt about how your therapist conducted your session. Over time, these measures add up and allow us to track your progress to make sure that you are still on target to meet your goals.
To put it bluntly – there is a lot of bad couples therapy happening out there, and we don’t want to have anything to do with that. FIT gives us the hard data to make sure that you are getting better. When the data shows therapy isn’t working as well as we would like, we are able to course correct or find other measures that will lead you to your goals.
Of course you don’t have to do it. But you should know that FIT isn’t a normal questionnaire or survey. FIT is designed to help you, and it helps your therapist tailor their approach to your needs. Keep in mind that 13 randomized clinical trials show that FIT can increase your results in therapy dramatically.
Great question. This is where the field is heading and we’re really excited about that. The primary reason FIT isn’t more prevalent is that even though it’s very simple for clients, it’s very difficult to implement from an administrative standpoint. There is an enormous amount of training that goes into the implementation and the costs of using FIT are significant. At RTC, we are fortunate to have owners who understand that your success is inextricably linked to our Center’s success.
