Biography
Ryan Beveridge, Ph.D. is a clinical science faculty member who serves as the founding executive director of the Institute for Community Mental Health (ICMH) and the director of the Center for Training, Evaluation, and Community Collaboration (C-TECC). ICMH and C-TECC are embodiments of the NIMH-sponsored Delaware Project training vision, which he co-developed, aiming to integrate community clinical and research training with traditional intervention laboratory science. Through ICMH and C-TECC, academics and community stakeholders collaborate to develop, train, implement, evaluate and provide evidence-based mental health services at our on-campus clinic and in community settings across the Mid-Atlantic region. In recognition of these efforts, Beveridge received the University of Delaware’s Excellence in Scholarly Community Engagement award from the University Faculty Senate in 2022.
Clinically, Beveridge has expertise in psychotherapy for depression, anxiety, and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents, as well as psychodiagnostic and psychoeducational assessments.
