Our psychologists have been fortunate to publish articles in peer-reviewed journals, contribute to books, give talks and present at national and international conferences in their respective areas of expertise. Several of our clinicians have held, or currently hold, appointments at academic institutions including San Diego State University, Georgetown University, and New York University and have received awards acknowledging their scientific and clinical contributions to the field. Below please find samples of work from each of INSPIRE’s psychologists. Feel free to reach out with any questions; we would love to hear from you!
