Lauren Bylsma, PhD, Honored by Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers
Please join us in congratulating Lauren Bylsma, PhD (Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology), who has received the 2025 Outstanding Mid-Career Psychologist Contribution Award from the Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers (APAHC). The Outstanding Mid-Career Psychologists Contributions Award recognizes psychologists whose work in medical school and academic health care settings has demonstrated excellence in enhancing the role of psychologists in education, research, and/or clinical care.
Dr. Bylsma conducts research in developmental affective science using multi-modal assessments of neurophysiological, behavioral, and ecological indices of emotional regulation in adolescents and adults at risk for depression. This research, focused on examining emotional processes in youth at high risk for pathology, informs and enhances the care she provides for patients at the Center for Advanced Psychotherapy (CAP)—part of Adult Behavioral Health Services at UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital (WPH) Bellefield Clinic—and the Helping Overcome Prodromal Experiences (HOPE) TEAM clinic.
Congratulations to Dr. Bylsma!
