Research and Expertise

Our Research & Expertise
Our research focuses on the development and evaluation of scalable strategies to implement high-quality, sustained Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based mental health practices. We are dedicated to closing the gap between what is known to be effective and what is actually delivered in communities, especially in low-resource contexts.

Areas of particular interest to our team include:

• AI and Technology in Mental Healthcare: A fundamental challenge in scaling up care is providing feedback and supervision at a high volume. We are at the forefront of exploring how AI, machine learning, and natural language processing can create powerful tools to train, supervise, and measure the quality of mental health services.
• Implementation and Sustainability Strategies: We create pragmatic methods to ensure that evidence-based practices are adopted, sustained, and integrated into an organization's long-term policies and procedures.
• Culturally Responsive Care: We develop community-partnered training strategies and tools to improve the delivery of care that is responsive to the unique identities and experiences of the communities we serve.
• Behavioral Economics: We evaluate financial incentives and policy shifts that can improve access to and delivery of high-quality mental healthcare.

Our research collaborations span community partners, industry leaders, tech startups, and other academic institutions worldwide.
