Dr. Park specializes in working with complex family systems impacted by chronic illness. Most recently, she was part of a behavioral health integration initiative where she worked with cancer patients and their families in the Loma Linda University Health Cancer Center. She had the privilege of leading the behavioral health team, supporting the Center with accreditation efforts as well as participating in interdisciplinary committees to discuss complex cases by offering a psychosocial perspective. Dr. Park is truly passionate about integrative behavioral health.
Dr. Park's research interests and advanced areas of study include implementing systemic practice, program evaluation, disease process/stress in the body, psychosomatic illnesses, and training, mentoring, and supervising the next generation of marital and family therapists.
