Location
Dr. Ashley M. Shaw is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SSBS). Dr. Shaw is also a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in both Maine and Florida. She received her B.A. from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (go Tar Heels!), and went on to receive her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in the adult division from University of Miami (UM). She completed her clinical psychology internship training in the cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) elective at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. She completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the child division at UM. Between 2019 and 2022, she was a Clinical Assistant Professor at Florida International University, where she was the Clinical Director of the Mental Health Interventions and Technology (MINT) Anxiety Program and founded and directed the MINT Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Adolescents Program. From Fall, 2022 to Spring, 2023, Dr. Shaw was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Bowdoin College. Dr. Shaw’s program of research seeks to increase access to transdiagnostic evidence-based treatments (e.g., CBT and DBT) for emotional disorders (i.e., anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD) in children and adults. She seeks to achieve these goals by reducing barriers to care (e.g., via technology) and studying and aiding in the dissemination and implementation of these interventions with diverse providers and families in the community.
