Jenika Hardeman is a 6th year doctoral student in Temple University’s Clinical Psychology Program. She is currently completing an internship at the University of Minnesota Medical School: Pediatric Psychology/Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. A native of Dallas, Texas, she graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Psychology and B.A. in Criminal Justice from the illustrious Howard University. She also earned an M.S. in Forensic Psychology from Drexel University wherein she studied ways to prevent offender recidivism and promote successful reentry, under the mentorship of Kirk Heilbrun, Ph.D. Jenika earned a second master's degree, an M.A., in Clinical Psychology at Temple en route to her Ph.D. under the mentorship of Deborah Drabick, Ph.D. Jenika’s research interests explore ways to promote resilience among at-risk youth which take into account systemic and contextual factors that contribute to the development of psychopathology across development, as well as the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based treatment of child psychopathology to primary care and community settings. Her clinical interests largely overlap with her research interests, as she aims to work with children and families who are affected by contextual and other factors to treat symptoms of child psychopathology through empirically supported treatments which consider those influences.
