Witnessing the disconnect between the research world and the clinical application of evidenced-based treatments, the founders of Tulsa Psychotherapy Collective, Elisabeth and Cassie, sought to create a space where leaders in the clinical and research fields could share their expertise outside of a clinical research or an academic setting.
TPC hopes to serve the Tulsa and greater Oklahoma community, providing high-quality psychotherapy with an eye towards serving the most vulnerable among us. The ultimate goal being to continually update TPC programming with cutting edge interventions for mental health concerns as well as to directly influence research questions being investigated in mental health research.
