Faculty Supervisors
JOHN COOLEY, Ph.D.
Evidence-based assessment and treatment services for children and adolescents with concerns related to bullying/peer victimization/aggression, trauma, oppositional defiance, inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, anxiety, and depression; behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches.
NICHOLAS BORGOGNA, Ph.D.
Acceptance-based and emotion-focused interventions for anxiety, depression, compulsive
sexual behaviors (such as problematic pornography use), sexual identity issues, religious/spirituality
problems, romantic relationship problems (including couples work), and trauma.
My practicum emphases vary depending on the semester. For the foreseeable future,
I will be offering an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Practicum and an Emotion Focused
Therapy Practicum alternating each semester that I teach. During summer practicums,
I allow my students the opportunity to operate from any evidence-based theoretical
model they choose.
CAROLINE CUMMINGS, Ph.D.
Evidence-based assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and emerging adults with chronic or complex health conditions (e.g., overweight/obesity, type 1 diabetes, chronic pain) and general pediatric populations (e.g., sleep disturbances; toileting concerns; behavioral concerns); behavioral and cognitive-behavioral approaches.
SHEILA GAROS, Ph.D.
Sex therapy, partner/marital therapy, sexuality issues, addiction, general psychotherapy.
Research interests: Sexual behavior, sexual temptation bias, medical patient/partner
health and test development.
I teach a psychodynamic practicum that focuses solely on dynamic theories, interventions
and treatment planning. However, tools from other approaches are utilized when helpful
to the client. Students who take my practicum are taught to think about cases dynamically;
that is, how does the past replicate itself in the present? The therapeutic relationship,
transference and countertransference, defenses, attachment issues, interpretation,
and confrontation are hallmarks of this approach.
