Youth Outcomes of Therapy Lab

The Youth Outcomes of Therapy Lab is a clinical psychology research lab at York University in Toronto, Canada. Our overarching goal is to improve psychotherapy outcomes for children and adolescents with depression and/or anxiety by identifying those aspects of therapy that are most effective, and by developing new therapies to address factors that currently predict poor treatment outcomes. We also study treatment outcome measures and develop ways to make them more clinically relevant.
