Dr. McMahon received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University at Buffalo in 2021 and completed her predoctoral clinical internship at the Charleston Consortium Psychology Internship Program. Dr. McMahon’s research focuses on understanding the development of emotion regulation processes and risk for emotional disorders; she is particularly interested in understanding how contexts (e.g., stress, parenting, peers) shape the neurodevelopmental underpinnings of emotion and emotion regulation behaviors, and how mindfulness-based treatments can disrupt maladaptive patterns in emotion regulation to prevent the onset of emotional disorders.
