Program Faculty

All core and associated faculty members involved in the PhD Program in Clinical Psychology are listed below, along with their interests. Both the Director of Clinical Training (DCT) and Associate Director of Clinical Training (Associate DCT) are also core faculty members of the program.

Individual faculty members often indicate on their lab websites whether they are considering applications for a mentee during the current application cycle. You may reach out to faculty members via email if you have questions about their work or wish to inquire about their plans for mentoring new students in the upcoming year. Applicants are strongly encouraged to

  • consider associated faculty members who mentor students in research as indicated below as potential research mentors. These associated faculty members are closely involved in the program and work with clinical populations and/or have interests in areas connected to clinical psychology, including autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, neuropsychology, and psychology and law. Students mentored by associated faculty members will receive additional clinical mentorship by the Director of Clinical Training or another core faculty member.
  • consider core faculty members with backgrounds in school psychology as potential research mentors, especially if the applicant is interested in the mental health and educational needs of children and adolescents. Students working with these faculty members can expect to have opportunities for conducting research related to school settings and school mental health and receive training in valuable skills in working with youth, such as cognitive assessment, academic assessment, and crisis intervention.
