Jessica Barker, MPS, LADC, LPCC. My research interests include the three-legged stool of evidence-based practice and its application to mental health (including eating disorder) treatment, ethical practice, and training of new clinicians. I have specific interests in satiation, satiety, and behavioral economics. using these constructs to conceptualize problems such as over-exercise to inform evidence based treatments across a wide range of problems relevant to mental health and occupational settings.
