Research interests include development and implementation of evidence-based interventions in adolescents and adults who are at risk for depression or have experienced trauma
Katherine Buchholz, Ph.D., is an Associate Research Scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women. Her research focuses on college student mental health, implementation of evidence-based interventions, trauma/PTSD, and adolescent depression prevention.
Her past clinical work has focused on delivering evidence-based, trauma-focused treatments to survivors of interpersonal violence, veterans, and people who have experienced other traumatic events.
Buchholz and her colleague, Associate Professor of Psychology at Pacific Lutheran University, Tiffany Artime, Ph.D., were approved for a $2.5 million funding award by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to implement an evidence-based treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in university counseling centers (UCCs). The project will help to bridge the gap between research and practice in UCCs, bringing a treatment with years of clinical research behind it to those who can benefit from it.
