Dr. Park studies how to improve the quality, cultural responsiveness, and effectiveness of mental health services using intervention and implementation science. She is particularly interested in developing and testing decision-support tools and other implementation supports - such as training, supervision, and consultation - that help clinicians tailor evidence-based interventions to better fit client needs. Her research is largely conducted in partnership with stakeholders in the community mental health agencies and schools.
Dr. Park will NOT be accepting new doctoral students for Fall 2026.
