Research interests include development and implementation of evidence-based interventions in adolescents and adults who are at risk for depression or have experienced trauma
Katie Buchholz, Ph.D., is a Research Scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women. Her research focuses on implementation of evidence-based therapies, treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder, college student mental health, and adolescent depression prevention. Additionally, she is interested in how systems (schools, university counseling centers, primary care settings) can support increased access to evidence-based mental health interventions and improve overall wellbeing within the populations they serve.
Currently, she serves alongside her colleague Tiffany Artime, Ph.D., as a dual principal investigator on an implementation project funded by Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to bring Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) to university and college counseling centers.
