Bio<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Dr. Loreen S. Magari\u00f1o is a post-doctoral research fellow in the HCFD Lab. She is a community-engaged researcher and clinician who prioritizes cultural humility, as well as multidisciplinary collaboration and methodological rigor to achieve greater synergy between research, consultation, and clinical service provision for the wellbeing of diverse populations.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Dr. Magari\u00f1o has delivered care in university counseling centers, hospital settings, and outpatient clinics, providing assessment and treatment for internalizing and externalizing problems; in individual, family, group and telehealth formats; with young and school-age children, teens, adults, and caregivers. She has also consulted with and for school, park and community youth professionals, as well as medical professionals for patients across the lifespan, to enhance service provision for a range of clinical presentations. Dr. Magari\u00f1o leverages EBPs including trauma-informed behavioral interventions, crisis management, MI, PCIT, and CBT, alongside therapeutic approaches that honor local knowledge and traditions; has experience working with clients, patients, and families navigating ADHD, DBDs, trauma, anxiety, depression, sleep problems and co-occurring metabolic conditions such as Crohn\u2019s disease and endocrine disorders among others; and integrates acceptance and commitment, dialectical and multicultural therapy (restorative justice, liberation psychology, and mindfulness) principles into clinical care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Research interests <\/h3>\n
\n\t

Dr. Magari\u00f1o\u2019s science and service are motivated by her dedication to improving health and academic trajectories for diverse, vulnerable, and historically underserved communities. Her research interests are in youth development and resilience, interdisciplinary community-engaged participatory research, dissemination and systems science, and culturally and trauma-informed health promotion for and with diverse communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Magari\u00f1o\u2019s research endeavors have focused on 1) sociocultural dimensions of youth development and health care provision, including cultural and contextual adaptations to mental health treatment and EBPs in English- and Spanish-language, 2) community-engaged research and equity-driven health promotion in natural settings and public service systems centering socioeconomically vulnerable populations (e.g., afterschool and youth mentoring programs, Part C IDEA Early Intervention home visitation) and 3) blending multidisciplinary methodologies to narrow the science to service gap (e.g., quantitative and qualitative approaches, archival methods; CBPR).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
