ABOUT ME

My name is Delaney Collins, and I am a graduate of Psychology and Social Work major from the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. Currently, I am a research coordinator in the Clinical Affective Neuroscience (CAN) lab at the University of Georgia. 

 

My goal is to obtain my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology and work with individuals diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illnesses, specifically schizophrenia. I plan to utilize my graduate research experience to better understand schizophrenia disorder, in attempts to apply my knowledge when working with my future clients. 

​

​

I continuously work to incorporate my two majors together, as I believe in client-centered treatment, and upholding dignity and respect for all individuals. My Social Work degree has taught me to investigate the background factors of clients' lives and how that affects their current situations. As a future clinician, I hope to make my services accessible to all of those experiencing extreme psychological distress and psychosis.
