About First Session
What is Feedback-Informed Treatment?

Feedback-Informed Treatment (FIT) is a practice framework that uses routine outcome monitoring to improve therapy effectiveness. Clients complete brief questionnaires at each session measuring their well-being and the therapeutic relationship. This data helps identify when therapy is on track or when adjustments are needed. Research shows FIT can double the effectiveness of therapy and reduce dropout rates.

What are the benefits of FIT?

FIT offers several benefits. It provides early warning when therapy isn't working, allowing for course correction. Clients have a voice in shaping their treatment. The approach promotes transparency and accountability. Research indicates that therapists who use FIT achieve better outcomes. Many clients appreciate having concrete data about their progress rather than relying solely on subjective impressions.

Who might benefit from FIT?

FIT can benefit anyone in therapy by improving the chances of a good outcome. It may be particularly valuable for people who want active involvement in their treatment, those who've had mixed experiences with therapy before, or anyone who appreciates data-driven approaches. FIT works alongside any therapeutic orientation, so it's compatible with various therapy types.

How do I find a FIT therapist?

While our network of FIT-trained therapists is growing, you can explore therapists on First Session who emphasize outcome-focused, collaborative care. Look for therapists who mention using outcome measures, valuing client feedback, or practicing evidence-based therapy. Ask potential therapists how they track progress and incorporate your feedback into treatment.

Are there related approaches I could explore?

Person-centered therapy shares FIT's emphasis on client experience. Collaborative therapy involves clients as active partners. Solution-focused therapy also tracks progress toward goals. Evidence-based therapists generally value outcome monitoring similar to FIT principles.
