Children’s Research Centre – Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology

During my Doctoral Training, I worked for 6 months at the Children’s Research Centre at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan. The Research Centre is an academic evidence-based clinical center specialized on diagnosis and treatment of children with ADHD run by Professor dr. Gail Tripp. The Children’s Research Centre in Japan gave me a unique opportunity to work in a cross-cultural context and experience the cultural differences in working with American and Japanese children with psychopathology.

PraxisP

PraxisP is KU Leuven’s academic outpatient mental health clinic where I completed additional training in Psychological Interventions.

Following, I worked for 4 years as a Clinical Psychologist. I provided psychological assessment and treatment for children, adolescents and adults with various mental health difficulties such as:

  • ADHD,
  • Depression
  • Autism
  • Selective Mutism
  • Anxiety

I have also worked intensively with parents as well as schools in order to provide the necessary assessment and treatment. 

I conducted social skills trainings at schools and I have extensive experience with executive functioning training for adolescents. Executive functioning training focused on developing planning and organization using a motivational approach.
