Kate Collison is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University, as well as a research faculty member at The Family Institute at Northwestern University. She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Purdue University, where she studied personality constructs that tend to be related to antisocial and aggressive behavior. Her most recent work has focused on evaluating the effectiveness of intimate partner violence (IPV) programs and working with community agencies to implement evidence-based IPV interventions. The goal of her Implementation Science lab is to develop strategies for community partners to increase the adoption and sustainability of effective IPV interventions, as well as to better understand more generally what factors make it easier for community agencies to adopt empirically supported treatments.
Kate Collison is also a licensed clinical psychologist and treats individual adults for a wide range of clinical problems and psychosocial stressors, including anxiety, depression, OCD, substance use, and transition to parenthood.
