Dr. Robin Aupperle, Elisabeth Akeman and Dr. Hannah Berg talk about their work at Laureate Institute for Brain Research

Today, I am talking with Dr. Robin Aupperle, Elisabeth Akeman and Dr. Hannah Berg 

 

Aupperle is is a licensed clinical psychologist and Principal Investigator at Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR) and Associate Professor at the University of Tulsa. Her research uses neuroimaging and behavioral measures to better understand approach-avoidance decision-making and mechanisms and predictors of psychological treatments for mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. 

 

Akeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor currently serving as Lead Therapist and Clinical Research Coordinator for Dr. Aupperle’s treatment outcome studies at Laureate Institute for Brain Research. Her clinical training includes evidence-based interventions for anxiety, mood, and substance-use disorders with extensive training and experience in Behavioral Activation and exposure-based therapies. 

 

Berg is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Laureate Institute for Brain Research. Her research investigates clinical anxiety from a decision-making perspective, with the goal of contributing brain-based insights that improve the conceptualization and treatment of psychopathology. Her clinical training includes evidence-based interventions for anxiety, mood, eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. 

 

 

I am thrilled to have all three of them on today, and I hope you find the conversation as fascinating as I did.
