Assistant Professor

Psychology

Dr. Holly will be interviewing applicants applying to the clinical psychology doctoral program (to start the program in Fall 2024).

Dr. Holly grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before earning her undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland, College Park. After a two-year research assistantship at Mt. Hope Family Center at the University of Rochester, Dr. Holly completed her PhD in Clinical Psychology at Arizona State University where she participated in state-of-the-art training and research in developmental psychopathology, prevention/intervention, and culture. As a postdoctoral associate in the Child Program at Boston University’s Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD), Dr. Holly managed a small randomized control trial to evaluate the use of shared-decision making with families to plan youth mental health treatment and specialized in empirically supported assessment and intervention strategies designed to target anxiety, depression, and related social, emotional, behavioral issues in youth.

Research Interests

Although there have been many advances in the development and implementation of evidence-based interventions, the most effective treatments for youth mental health disorders are not effective all the time, are not accessible by all the youth in need of them, and do not address issues of diversity. Dr. Holly aims to study and improve evidence-based interventions for all youth and families, particularly those from traditionally underserved backgrounds (e.g., racial/ethnic minority, low-income). Grounded in developmental psychopathology and guided by cultural-contextual frameworks, Dr. Holly’s research uses qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods to 1) elucidate the role of parents in the development and treatment of youth mental health problems; 2) improve the cultural appropriateness of evidence-based clinical practices; and 3) increase accessibility to and relevance of mental health care for youth.
