Diana Charlop

Post-Doctoral Fellow

I am a clinical child psychologist specializing in therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), behavioral challenges, and executive functioning issues. My work includes providing therapy, diagnostic assessments, and offering parenting support across the home and school settings.  I use evidence-based practices, primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and approach therapy as a collaborative process grounded in empathy, growth and understanding. My training includes a number of evidence-based approaches including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Parent and Child Interaction therapy adapted for Selective Mutism (PCIT-SM). I am deeply committed to working with children and families to support their lived experiences. 

In my free time, I enjoy running, experimenting with new recipes, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends.
