Speaker Bio (200 words)
Elias Graham is a senior psychology student at the University of Washington. They recently completed their honors thesis under the mentorship of Dr. Margaret Sibley, which examined the difference in practices between ADHD coaches who began their practice pre- versus post- COVID-19 pandemic. As a research assistant at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, they work on several projects studying psychotherapy treatment for teens with ADHD. Elias aims to pursue a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, specializing in research and clinical assessments of populations with ADHD. Their long-term goal is to become a professor researching the development, evaluation, and refinement of novel, scalable, and accessible interventions for youth and young adults with ADHD who do not benefit sufficiently from well-established treatments, including those with co-occurring conditions, women and other gender minority groups, and ethnic/racial minority groups. They hope to reduce stigmatization around seeking mental health treatment and to promote inclusivity in both research and clinical practice settings.
