Dr. Heide Klumpp (PhD) at The University of Illinois at Chicago is conducting a research study on anxiety and depression in adults 18-65 years old. This study investigates how behavior and brain function influences treatment success in depression and anxiety, using a standard psychotherapy (talk therapy). Participants will be compensated for their time. All information you provide is confidential.

You may be eligible to participate if you: (1) Are 18-65 years old and (2) Suffer from a anxiety or depression. Volunteers who are currently undergoing psychotherapy (talk therapy) or taking certain medications may not qualify for the study.

If you are eligible and agree to participate you will undergo: (1) A clinical interview, (2) Three functional MRI scans to non-invasively measure brain function, (3) Three sessions with electroencephalography (EEG) to non-invasively measure brain function, (4) Twelve weeks of standard treatment with talk therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) OR twelve weeks of Supportive Therapy.

If you are interested in participating in the study, please take the confidential online survey included in this listing. If you have any questions or concerns, please call or email us. We are following CDC guidelines to promote the safety of our participants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CAADC provides evidenced-based services for children and teens (ages 7-17) with anxiety using a cognitive-behavioral treatment approach. It is a research clinic staffed by advanced doctoral graduate students who are supervised by licensed Ph.D. clinical psychologists. Philip C. Kendall, Ph.D., ABPP, is the clinic director. Given that the CAADC is a research clinic, all clients participate in research (e.g., completing questionnaires).

We provide free Cognitive Processing Therapy to individuals over the age of 18 who have experienced a traumatic event in their lifetime. We combine treatment with a research program so treatment is free and patients are compensated for completing study activities such as self-report surveys.

12-16 free-of-cost sessions of family therapy for adolescents struggling with weight and eating problems and one or both of their parents/guardians. This therapy aims to repair attachment bonds within the family and reduce eating problems.

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy (effects) of internet-based approaches for delivering information about early intervention strategies (e.g. methods or tips for improving a child’s behavior and development) to parents of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As part of this study, families will be randomly (selected by chance like the flip of a coin) assigned to one of two different formats of an interactive telehealth program called Mirror Me Online. One format you complete on your own, the other involves the option to meet with a parent coach over the internet for feedback. The goal of the study is to understand the efficacy of internet-based approaches on how parents/caregivers and children benefit from using online programs, and to identify barriers (blocks) and facilitators (helpers) to this kind of service delivery model.
