Emily Bowers

Biography

I am a graduate student in the Combined Clinical/Counseling Psychology PhD specialization working with the ACT Research Group. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology at Tufts University in 2019. Prior to attending USU, I worked as a counselor and clinical research coordinator for the Behavioral Health Partial Program at McLean Hospital where I gained experience co-leading groups and researching treatment outcomes in a transdiagnostic population. Working with Dr. Michael Twohig, my research interests include acceptance-based treatment interventions for social anxiety and anxiety-related disorders more broadly. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time with my cat!
