Published articles by Dr. Randi Fredricks, Ph.D.

Below are some of the articles I’ve had published over the past 30 years. I’m fortunate to have the honor of being a best-selling author, researcher, journalist, as well as a therapist. The following is a sampling of the articles I’ve had published. Whether you are a layperson or a mental health professional I hope you find these articles of interest.

I currently writes several columns on counseling psychology and maintain a number of blogs focusing on my published research and books. I’ve been told that I’m considered an internationally recognized expert on the use of complementary and alternative medicine in the treatment of mental health. This is quite an honor and I appreciate the opportunity to have helped so many people to feel people over the years.
