Doctoral Student in Clinical Psychology
The Chicago School
Lindsay Lipman is a second-year doctoral student in clinical psychology at The Chicago School (Chicago Campus), committed to advancing research and clinical care for pediatric populations navigating chronic illness, pain, and experiences within medical settings. She is currently completing her diagnostic practicum at Rush Neurobehavioral Center (RNBC), where she administers neuropsychological assessments to individuals across the lifespan.
Ms. Lipman’s academic and clinical interests lie at the intersection of developmental psychology and health psychology. She aims to focus on how the early onset of emotional-behavioral and chronic health conditions, as well as experiences within healthcare environments, influence psychological well-being and overall functioning. Her interest in neuropsychological processes began during her undergraduate research at Washington University in St. Louis, where she gained extensive exposure to the identification and treatment of emotional-behavioral disorders in young children at the Early Emotional Development Program.
Following her undergraduate studies, she transitioned into digital mental health and health-related research at the Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies (CBITs) at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where she served as the lead coach for a digital intervention targeting obesity and binge eating. This work expanded her understanding of the psychological and emotional challenges individuals may face in managing chronic illnesses and navigating complex healthcare systems, underscoring the need for more personalized and accessible approaches to care.
Through her collaboration on Ms. Sharf’s dissertation, she has developed a growing interest in rehabilitation psychology and is committed to contributing to the advancement of more inclusive, patient-centered approaches to health and psychological care.
