Researcher at the forefront of mindfulness-based therapies and digital mental health, studying what makes these approaches work and for whom.
Dr. Simon Goldberg is an Associate Professor of Counseling Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he leads a research program on the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions, digital mental health tools, and psychotherapy more broadly. His work applies rigorous quantitative and meta-analytic methods to understand both whether treatments work and the mechanisms through which they produce their effects.
His research on mindfulness and meditation has clarified when and for whom these practices are most beneficial, examining outcomes across diverse clinical and non-clinical populations. He has also been a thoughtful critic of the psychotherapy literature's methodological limitations, contributing to important debates about effect size interpretation, researcher allegiance, and replication. Dr. Goldberg's commitment to methodological rigor makes his work an important anchor in a field that can sometimes move faster than the evidence warrants.
