Biography

Dr. Stormshak will be accepting new PhD students in both Counseling Psychology and Prevention Science for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Dr. Stormshak is a Knight Chair and Professor in the Counseling Psychology and Human Services department in the College of Education. Dr. Stormshak's research focuses on understanding risk factors in early and middle childhood associated with the development of problem behavior in late adolescence, including substance use and delinquency. Her primary research focus includes testing the efficacy of family-centered interventions, such as the Family Check-Up, that reduce the later risk of problem behavior. She also studies the process of dissemination of evidence-based interventions into real world community settings and has developed an online version of the Family Check-Up for wide-scale dissemination. She has worked collaboratively with a variety of service providers, including elementary and middle schools in the state of Oregon as well as community mental health agencies.
