Looking forward to this clinical workshop tomorrow at @abctnow.bsky.social! Dr. Jill Ehrenreich-May and I will be discussing theories and applications of exposure therapy for youth anxiety disorders. Join us!

Day 2 at the International OCD Foundation Conference! Our team at University of Miami teamed up with folks at the McLean OCDI to discuss theories of exposure therapy, novel approaches to measuring change during exposure, and implications for clinical care.

Had a great time presenting at the International OCD Foundation research symposium on my research applying the Unified Protocol to youth with OCD. More to come!

Last but not least at #ABCT2024, I’ll be presenting some work examining clinician and client predictors of implementation of the Unified Protocol for adolescents in community mental health clinics @abctnow.bsky.social 😊

And if you’re interested in quantitative methods, check out my @abctnow.bsky.social poster describing the application of natural language processing to identify motivations for object saving behaviors in hoarding disorder.

Also great to speak about geospatial data analysis in this symposium focused on novel quantitative methods for the study of anxiety-related disorders with some very cool researchers 🤓 @abctnow.bsky.social

I’m thrilled to chair this symposium on community-engaged youth mental health research with the fantastic Drs. Ilana Seager van Dyk @drilanasvd.bsky.social, Sarah Kate Bearman, V. Robin Weersing, Mario Mercado Diaz, Emily Bilek, & Allison Harvey @allisonharvey.bsky.social @abctnow.bsky.social 🤩🥳

Presenting today at the Society of Behavioral Medicine 2024 Conference — There is a need for increased focus on socio-contextual factors such as neighborhood disadvantage that contribute to youth anxiety and depression to inform intervention at multiple ecological levels.

I’m also very pleased to share our latest PASO Lab research at the ABCT Tic & OCD SIG! We found that individuals with hoarding symptoms experience emotional memories associated with non-valued possessions, likely maintaining hoarding symptoms over time.

Hi Seattle! I’m thrilled to share my research examining mechanisms of change during youth community mental health care at the ABCT SIG Expo tonight and as a talk at the Child & Adolescent Anxiety SIG meeting tomorrow. Come say hi!
