Our Team
Working together to build healthier communities
The ICMH-Clinic at the University of Delaware is guided by a team of dedicated professionals committed to advancing mental health through evidence-based care, research and training. At the heart of our clinic is the director, who provides clinical oversight and mentorship to a skilled team that includes a full-time licensed therapist and graduate student clinicians. Together, they deliver high-quality psychotherapy and diagnostic services to individuals of all ages in our community.
Our team is deeply connected to UD’s mission of integrating academic excellence with community service. Under expert supervision, graduate students from UD’s clinical training programs gain invaluable, hands-on experience in delivering personalized, research-informed care. This collaborative model not only ensures that our clients receive effective treatment grounded in the latest science, but also helps prepare the next generation of mental health professionals.
We invite you to learn more about our team members, who bring compassion, professionalism and a shared commitment to improving access to behavioral health services—especially for those most in need.
