Editorial and Clinical Review Methodology

How We Practice and How We Review What We Publish

This page explains how we work with patients at Davenport Psychology and how we review every article you read on our website. We want you to know who wrote what you are reading, who checked it for accuracy, and why you can trust the answer.

How We Practice

Davenport Psychology is a group of five licensed doctoral psychologists. We work with adults, couples, families, children, and teenagers across two offices in Sarasota and Venice, Florida, and through telehealth where state law allows. Our practice is built on three habits.

First, we listen. A first session is mostly questions and a careful look at what brought you in. We do not assume we know the answer before we know you. Second, we use evidence-based methods. That means we choose treatments and tests that have been studied and shown to help, not the newest trend. Third, we measure progress. We check in with you about what is working and what is not, and we adjust the plan when we need to.

We are a cash-pay practice. We do not bill insurance directly. We can provide a superbill so you can seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurer if that is part of your plan.

Editorial Standards for What We Publish

Every clinical article on this site goes through a written editorial process before it is published. Here is what that process looks like.

Citations

A typical article on this site contains six to twelve inline citations across roughly fifteen hundred words. We cite sources in the order of the hierarchy below, and we link to the primary source whenever the primary source is publicly accessible.

Where reasonable people disagree on a clinical question, we say so in the body of the article rather than picking a side. Where the evidence is clear, we cite the strongest source.

The Reviewed-By Stamp

Every clinical article on this site is reviewed by Dr. Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist and founder of Davenport Psychology, before it is published. His name appears in the article’s review stamp and in the page’s structured data. When an article is written by another clinician on our team, that clinician’s name appears as the author and Dr. Davenport’s name appears as the reviewer. Both names link back to that clinician’s full credentials page on this site.

The Last Updated Date

Each clinical article carries a Last Updated date. We review articles on a rolling schedule and refresh dates only when the content has been re-checked against current evidence. We do not change the date to make a page look fresher than it is.

Corrections

If you find an error in something we have published, please tell us. Email us at [email protected] or call (941) 702-2457. We correct verified errors and note the correction in the article.

Why You Can Trust Our Content

Three things separate a clinical article you can trust from a clinical article you cannot.

  1. A named, licensed clinician stands behind it. Our reviewer is named at the top of every clinical article and his license number is on this page. You can verify that license with the State of Florida in under a minute.
  2. The sources are linked and checkable. When we cite a study, we link to it. When we cite a federal health agency, we link to the page we are citing. You should never have to take our word for a clinical claim.
  3. The article tells you when it was last reviewed. Mental health research changes. So does our practice. An article without a review date is harder to trust than one with a date you can check.

We do not pay for reviews. We do not solicit patient testimonials. We do not use artificial intelligence to generate clinical claims. We use research tools and writing tools the way most clinicians do, to organize sources and draft language, and every clinical claim is checked by a licensed psychologist before it is published.
