Parenting Approaches to Healthy Socialization (PATHS)

Bridging developmental and clinical psychology

We are a developmental and clinical science lab at American University. Our goal is to examine how parents and children interact to influence how children feel and behave from infancy through adolescence.

We are committed to serving families in the DC metro area by collaborating with community partners to increase representation in research and providing mental health services for children and families with limited access to services.

We specialize in parenting programs to help families of young children (from infants to preschoolers) with behavioral and emotional difficulties including anxiety, ADHD, behavior problems, and more.
