Diversifying Clinical Psychology Chicago 2020
WE ARE
a group of clinical psychology programs committed to recruiting students from under-represented backgrounds into the clinical psychology pipeline
Beginning in 2016, our programs came together to host an event devoted to providing information and support to prepare applicants to be successful in reaching their goals and making their mark on our field. In 2019, we expanded our reach beyond the Chicago-land area to include our colleagues at Southern Illinois and Northern Illinois University. And, now, in 2020, we are doing a virtual event and hoping to increase our reach to applicants across the country. Click here to register.

He received his BA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2012 and his PhD in clinical psychology from Loyola University Chicago in 2018. A licensed psychologist, Dr. Dakari's work focuses on interventions that capitalize on strengths within marginalized communities. Dr. Dakari has led a variety of research projects and published multiple articles examining trauma, social equity, and strategies to promote resilience amidst people of color. He aims to empower communities and promote their healing through therapy, workshops, and various forms of community building.
