Erik J. Reinbergs

Biography

I’m an assistant professor in the school psychology program at Utah State University. I’m a licensed psychologist and nationally certified school psychologist. I received my PhD at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in school psychology. I primarily research suicide, self-harm, and related topics using quantitative methods. I aim to help youth, young adults, families, and school communities build lives perceived as worth living. Through a variety of efforts—such as prevention, assessment, treatment, and postvention—I believe there are important opportunities at the individual and systems levels to reduce suffering related to emotional/behavioral challenges. I am also interested in clinical behavior therapies, such as dialectical behavior therapy, and problems of applied measurement.
