about

I’m an assistant professor and licensed psychologist in the department of Clinical, Health, and Applied Sciences at the University of Houston Clear Lake. I work in the school psychology specialist degree program and in the combined school/clinical doctoral program. I originally trained as a school psychologist. I now focus on researching the assessment, treatment, and prevention of suicide and self-harm across settings. You can see my research on google scholar. If you do not have access to any of my articles, I will happily email you a free copy. You can also view my CV below.

Clinically, I adhere to a behavioral orientation and am trained in dialectical behavior therapy, in addition to other behavior therapies. At UHCL, I run a small research lab of doctoral students interested in suicidology, teach graduate courses, mentor doctoral students, and sometimes supervise psychology trainees at our on campus clinic. 

I received my PhD at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I moved to Houston for my internship and postdoc. I then stayed in Houston as an assistant professor at the University of Houston Clear Lake in their combined school/clinical psychology program for three years.

Next year, I’m transitioning to a similar faculty role at Utah State University. If you'd like to collaborate, I'd love to hear from you. You can find me on Mastodon or send me an email at reinbergs[at]uhcl[dot]edu.
