Biography

Sarah Kate Bearman received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin in 2005 and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on the dissemination and implementation of empirically supported practices (ESPs) for youth, particularly using research-practice partnerships to increase the fit, adoption, and sustainability of research-trialed interventions in low-resource, real-world settings. The evidence base suggests that ESPs are effective for youth facing a wide range of mental health issues, contributing to the development of interventions that enable children and families to receive necessary treatment. Bearman's work examines the variables that promote the effective use of ESPs, with a focus on treatment redesign, training, and supervision approaches, and utilizing nontraditional providers to enhance ESP access. Her research has been supported by organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Annie E. Casey Foundation. She co-authored a transdiagnostic intervention manual for youth addressing conduct, anxiety, depression, and trauma disorders, providing training and supervision resources for clinicians to support ESPs for youth.
