American Board of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology Update

By Omar G. Gudiño, PhD, ABPP
President, ABCCAP

Board certification is based on a psychologist’s training, experience, and competence in their specialization. Importantly, board certification supports the development of our specialty by highlighting the unique training and competence of psychologists specializing in clinical child, adolescent, and pediatric psychology. This “peer review” communicates a specialist’s competence to the public, trainees in the specialty, and colleagues in other specialties. ABCCAP congratulates the following clinical child, adolescent, and pediatric psychologists who attained Specialty Board Certification between June and September 2022:

Audrey Thurm, PhD, ABPP

Bianca Brooks, PhD, ABPP

Katherine Gallagher, PhD, ABPP

Sarah Connolly, PhD, ABPP
