Our Story

The EBP grew from Dr. Zimring’s desire to synthesize the best aspects of university medical centers, research-based programs and agencies, non-profit treatment centers, and for-profit educational companies and private practices into an integrated behavioral healthcare clinic and training program.

Nevada faces a mental health crisis. Our state is ranked 51st in the country for mental health services and availability according to Mental Health America. The EBP team believes it is not enough to provide high quality behavioral healthcare. We must actively work toward improving the availability and quality of skilled providers in our community, so that everyone who needs care can access it.  The EBP is a sustainable training model in evidence-based services for current and future providers in the greater Las Vegas valley. In other words, The EBP is helping to grow evidence-based practitioners where none existed.
