Dr. Jessica Watrous is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and the Director of Clinical & Scientific Affairs at Modern Health. Broadly, her clinical and research efforts have focused on the complex relationships between physical and mental health including the emotional impact of illness and injury, health behavior change, substance use problems, and optimizing clinical prevention and intervention protocols for mental and physical health promotion and behavior change.
As clinical psychologists, we talk about therapy as the gold standard. I’m not saying it isn’t, but if only a minority of people are getting it, we need to broaden our perspective.
