Dr. Amanda K. Cheung aims to further integrate her research interest in individual differences across the lifespan and her clinical interest in vulnerabilities of various forms. Studying individual differences in child development, her doctoral research focused on multivariate genotypic associations between parenting and early abilities. In particular, she applied for and managed >26,000 birth records in creating a database representative of families with young multiples in the state of Texas. Complementary to her research endeavors, Dr. Cheung has extensive clinical experience in treating individuals with emotional and behavioral dysregulations across the lifespan. She has completed the certification in conducting Seeking Safety by Treatment Innovations, Inc. (San Francisco, CA, USA), the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Intensive Training by Behavioral Tech (Seattle, WA, USA), and is a certified therapist in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Leveraging on her clinical experience, Dr. Cheung provides consultations to mental health professionals of various disciplines and has completed the low-intensity cognitive behavioral therapy supervisor certificate course. As a registered clinical psychologist in Hong Kong (with HKICP and HKPS DCP) and a licensed psychologist in the United States, she has provided numerous professional training and public psychoeducation workshops on topics such as youth mental health, suicidality, and parenting. Integrating her research and clinical exposures, Dr. Cheung’s research will continue to focus on individual differences, particularly in the development of emotional, behavioral, and cognitive vulnerabilities.
