Marianne Chirica, MS is a fourth-year PhD student at Indiana University in the Psychological and Brain Sciences– Clinical Science Program. Marianne’s research broadly aims to identify potential risk and protective factors for suicidal behavior, particularly among adolescents, in attempt to better understand and predict maladaptive outcomes. Using a developmental psychopathology framework, her research assesses various units of analysis across the lifespan, such as behavioral (i.e., social interactions and clubs), sociocultural (i.e., racial and ethnic differences) and biological (i.e., medications used) markers that interact both cross-sectionally and temporally to predict developmental trajectories. This work will ultimately help identify those at heightened risk for suicide and suggest potential targets for interventions. Before starting her PhD at Indiana University in 2021, she received her master’s degree in Psychology: Clinical Counseling from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science and is a licensed professional counselor. Her main clinical interests are youth with anxiety, OCD, and related disorders. Among a myriad of interventions, she have expertise in cognitive behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention, and is currently getting certified in parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT).
