Andy Godfrey, PhD

Background

Training & clinical focus

Dr. Godfrey earned his PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Houston and is a licensed psychologist in the state of Utah. His clinical work centers on psychological and neuropsychological assessment and evidence-based treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD, and trauma, with particular attention to how ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence shape both diagnosis and treatment.

His clinical experience spans intensive treatment settings and outpatient assessment and care across the lifespan, and his research on relationships, conflict, and emotion regulation continues to inform how he understands the family context around every evaluation.

Research

An active research profile

Dr. Godfrey's research has been published in journals including Behavior Therapy, Clinical Psychology Review, Psychophysiology, and the Journal of Clinical Psychology, spanning anxiety and OCD treatment, emotion regulation, psychophysiology, couples and family processes, and quantitative methods. Recent work examines the mechanisms of symptom change during intensive exposure and response prevention treatment for OCD, the question at the heart of how this practice approaches therapy: not just whether treatment works, but how, and for whom.

That research background is why measurement runs through everything we do here, from evaluation batteries built on well-validated instruments to the way findings are translated into concrete treatment recommendations and referrals to trusted professionals in the community who can carry them out.
