Ella Yang is a PhD student in the Department of Counseling Psychology working with Center for Healthy Minds Core Faculty Dr. Simon Goldberg. Her research interests include digital mental health and the use of emerging technologies in psychological interventions. She is particularly interested in understanding for whom and under what conditions digital interventions work, and how technology can be used to make mental health interventions more accessible and responsive to diverse and underserved communities.
Prior to graduate school, Ella conducted research on culturally adapted mind-body interventions for community-dwelling older adults and therapy processes in psychological interventions for inflammatory bowel disease. She also coordinated clinical research with individuals experiencing depression, opioid-use disorder, and PTSD.
