Specialist Spotlight
"Board certification was something I had intended to pursue do for years but it always ended up on the back burner. As I continued to meet milestones in my career (e.g., Full Professor) and take on more and more leadership positions and responsibilities, it became increasingly clear to me how important it was to demonstrate and model excellence in my area of practice."
"I completed this process largely for myself rather than for any potential professional or financial benefit. I’ve devoted my career to working with children and families, and saw obtaining ABPP certification as an important component to demonstrating this commitment."
"I found the process of board certification to be very interesting and rewarding. The process really reminded me of how important it is to take time to step back and really examine all of the factors impacting clients and helped me to see just how important it is to try and see the whole person and the variety of systems in a child’s life that influence presenting problems."
