Clinical
BIO

Sarah Francis, M.A.

I am currently completing my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. For the past six years, I have worked with children, adolescents, parents, and teachers in schools, university-based clinical settings, and community-based clinics. I have been trained in empirically-supported, manualized, cognitive-behavioral treatments for youth anxiety and depression, as well as in the administration of structured clinical interviews to assess for child internalizing and externalizing disorders. Most recently, I have focused on examining factors underlying the link between parent and child anxiety in the hopes of identifying parental characteristics influencing child treatment outcomes for anxiety disorders. Currently I am doing a clinical research rotation at the PSADC and conducting clinical intakes through the general clinic.
