Dr. Stevie Grassetti
Assistant Professor
College of Sciences and Mathematics - Psychology
Bio
Dr. Stevie Grassetti is a clinical psychologist with research interests across clinical, social, and developmental areas. Her work aims to optimize mental health services to better meet the needs of underserved children and families, especially those who have experienced trauma and other forms of adversity. Together with her lab, she studies mental health prevention and intervention programs that are implemented in community settings where underserved children and families are most likely to access care.
Across studies, Grassetti is curious about who changes (and who does not change), how and when change comes about, and the contexts in which change is most likely to occur. She is particularly curious about how social relationships promote positive change and development in the context of clinical interventions and every day interactions.
Grasetti believes that the most innovative and valuable research comes from diverse and inclusive teams. She is particularly invested in working with scholars whose perspectives have been under-represented in clinical science.
