About Feedback-Informed Treatment (FIT)
Feedback-Informed Treatment uses regular client feedback to track progress and adjust therapy for better outcomes. While our network of FIT practitioners is growing, you can explore therapists who prioritize collaborative, client-centered approaches.

Feedback-Informed Treatment (FIT) is an approach that systematically collects client feedback to monitor therapy progress and improve outcomes. Using brief measures at each session, therapists and clients can track whether therapy is working and make adjustments as needed. Research shows that FIT can significantly improve therapy effectiveness.
FIT reflects a collaborative, client-centered philosophy where your experience guides the work. If you value transparency and active participation in your therapy, you can explore therapists on First Session who emphasize person-centered approaches, collaborative therapy, or evidence-based practice.

Therapy is hard work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
