Anahi Collado

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with 15 years of experience providing mental health assessment and treatment in a variety of settings including private practice, outpatient psychotherapy clinics, inpatient and residential treatment facilities, community mental health centers, and hospitals. I completed my Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Maryland-College Park and my pre-doctoral internship at the San Diego VA Healthcare System. In each of these settings, I conducted individual and group therapy in inpatient and outpatient mental health clinics. Upon completing my internship, I accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at Emory University’s Child and Adolescent Mood Program. As a result of all of these experiences, I deliver therapies backed by science and work with children, adolescents, and adults. I have expertise in applying cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal interventions to treat depression, anxiety (including obsessive compulsive disorder), insomnia, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Each of the treatments that I deliver respond to the client’s developmental level. I also provide behavioral interventions and parent training for ADHD and emotional and externalizing behaviors (stealing, lying, substance use behaviors). Below are the therapies that I have expertise in providing: Behavioral Activation Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Cognitive Processing Therapy Exposure and Response Prevention Interpersonal Therapy Kazdin Parent Management Training (PMT) Prolonged Exposure Supporting Parents of Anxious Children (SPACE) I am able to provide therapy in English and Spanish. I am also actively engaged in research because I am a firm believer that my research and clinical practice continuously inform each other and help me provide my clients with the most up-to-date, effective therapies. I hold an academic appointment as Assistant Research Professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder, where I conduct research on the factors that place individuals at risk for depression, anxiety, and substance use. My research also focuses on ways to reduce mental health disparities among underserved and underrepresented U.S. populations.
