Measurement Based Therapy
Measurement based care uses data collected from the client throughout treatment as a guide for clinical care. Just as a doctor would measure and track blood pressure in order to diagnose or treat hypertension, therapists use screenings and assessments to diagnose and treat mental health conditions.
Advantages of Measurement Based Therapy:
- Improves the quality and precision of care
- Objectively tracks progress
- Improves accuracy of diagnosis
- Boosts engagement in therapy
- Accelerates symptom improvement
Moments of Clarity utilizes Blueprint Health, a free, confidential and HIPAA compliant app, to digitally gather and track outcome measures.

Additionally, clients can stay connected through daily checkins and assigned activities that can be completed anywhere. There are many features available through Blueprint, and each client is able to choose the options that are most beneficial for their treatment.
