Bio

Dr. Hart is an Assistant Professor in the School Psychology Program at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She received her doctoral degree from the University of South Carolina in 2023, after completing an assessment-focused clinical internship at the Florida State University Multidisciplinary Center. Her research focuses on empowering and supporting youth from or in low-resource environments. For example, her work seeks to build youths’ capacity and motivation for positive change, such as through designing interventions to increase critical consciousness and through expanding and strengthening services based in Motivational Interviewing. She is interested in growing the impact and reach of evidence-based, non-traditional service provision, such as through equipping and training youth mentors (i.e., paraprofessional providers) in skills often used by professional helpers.
