Amanda Jensen-Doss is a Professor and Director of Clinical Training in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami's College of Arts and Sciences. Her work focuses on improving mental health care for children and adolescents through evidence-based practices, particularly in community settings. She leads the Child Implementation and Effectiveness Lab (CIELO Lab), which emphasizes translating research into clinical practice. Her research interests include measurement-based care (MBC), trauma-informed treatments, and implementation science. She has extensively studied clinician training, consultation strategies, and the role of data in optimizing youth psychotherapy outcomes. Key areas of focus include unaccompanied migrant children, adolescent treatment engagement, and therapist fidelity to evidence-based protocols. Dr. Jensen-Doss collaborates with community agencies to scale up evidence-based practices (EBPs), addressing barriers like funding and clinician self-efficacy. Her work bridges academic research with real-world clinical challenges, emphasizing pragmatic solutions to enhance mental health service delivery. She has contributed to national initiatives on MBC and EBP sustainability, and her lab provides resources for clinicians via platforms like shinyDLRs diagnostic tool. Notable grants and projects include the COMET study (Community Study of Outcome Monitoring for Emotional Disorders in Teens), which evaluates transdiagnostic treatments, and a focus on modular therapy approaches for anxiety, trauma, and conduct problems in schools. She advocates for clinician training models that balance expert consultation with cost-effectiveness. Her lab’s CIELO Lab website highlights ongoing projects on family support protocols for internalizing disorders and podcasts to improve health literacy. She is active in editorial roles, emphasizing methodological rigor and translational research in youth mental health.
