MaryBeth Gallagher

I center my teaching and research on the belief that mental health and wellness are essential foundations for meaningful and successful lives. This commitment drives my efforts to advance inclusion by expanding access to mental wellness across diverse communities.

My scholarly work reflects a strong interest in community‑based, action‑oriented, and participatory research methods. I collaborate with practitioners, community members, and fellow scholars to build learning communities that critically examine practice and translate evidence into meaningful change. Through these partnerships, I work to influence outcomes across multiple levels—from direct clinical practice to broader system‑level transformation.
