CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Dr. Trent has extensive experience treating anxiety disorders across a variety of populations (children, adolescents, and adults) using only treatments with the most research support for a given disorder. These approaches include the following: manualized Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Specific Phobias (e.g., fear of flying), and Hoarding Disorder as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). She also has extensive experience treating trauma-related disorders (i.e., PTSD) with Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (certified provider). Dr. Trent has supervised therapists in the application of modularized evidence-based therapy for anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems. Currently, Dr. Trent trains future psychologists to accurately assess and diagnose anxiety disorders within the Stanford Department of Psychiatry.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Dr. Trent's research interests relate to the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based treatments and assessment practices into clinical settings. The overarching goal guiding her research is improving the quality of mental health care, particularly in low-income, underserved populations. To this point her specific activities have largely been focused on the development, integration, and evaluation of research-based assessment strategies in frontline care settings.
