- Dr. Matt Price (2011-2013) Dr. Matt Price earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Georgia State University and completed his pre-doctoral internship in Clinical Psychology at the Medical University of South Carolina. His research focuses on enhancing the efficacy and effectiveness of exposure based therapies for anxiety disorders and victims of trauma. Consistent with this focus, Dr. Price is actively involved in research to identify processes and predictors of treatment response, enhance and develop novel treatment practices,
and disseminate evidence based practices to providers. A significant secondary component to Dr. Price’s work involves the integration of technology into psychotherapy as a means to improve outcomes. At the NCVC, Dr. Price provides trauma-focused treatment to adults who present with psychological difficulty after exposure to trauma. - Dr. Kathryn Reid-Quiñones (2011-2013) Dr. Kathryn Reid-Quiñones earned her M.S. and Ph.D in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University with a minor specialization in Developmental Psychology.

She is currently completing her first year of a National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH)-funded postdoctoral fellowship at the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center (NCVC) at MUSC. Her research interests include individual, family, and environmental factors that influence youth risk and resilience, with an emphasis on coping with trauma. Specifically, Dr. Reid-Quiñones’ research has concentrated on identifying factors that predict youth adjustment following trauma exposure. In addition to her interest in risk and protective factors for youth who have experienced trauma, she wants to learn more about the cultural factors that may affect diagnosis and treatment of minority populations. At the NCVC, Dr. Reid-Quiñones provides trauma-focused treatment to children, adolescents, and adults who present with psychological difficulty after exposure to trauma.
- Dr. Andrea M. Jones (2012-2013) Dr. Andrea M.

Her research interests include the investigation of high risk sexual behaviors and delinquency in relation to sexual abuse in adolescents and young adults. She also is interested in health care disparities as it relates to access to trauma-focused treatment and cultural factors influencing psychopathology after trauma exposure. At the NCVC, Dr. Jones conducts research in relation to these topics of interest, and provides trauma-focused treatment to children, adolescents, and adults who have been exposed to violence.
- Dr. Zachary Adams (2012-2013) Dr. Zachary Adams earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kentucky and completed his pre-doctoral internship in Clinical Psychology at the Medical University of South Carolina. His research interests center on the development of impulsive behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults, particularly among people who have experienced traumatic stress. His current work focuses on how certain individual characteristics (personality, emotions, physiology) interact with traumatic experiences (maltreatment, assault, disaster) to influence risk for behavioral and emotional problems in young people. He is also interested in studying the effects of secondary prevention efforts to reduce violence and substance use among trauma-exposed youth, as well as models for improving access and delivery of these services among high-risk populations. At the NCVC, Dr. Adams conducts research in these areas and provides treatment to trauma-exposed children, adolescents, and adults.
Dr. Melissa Milanak (2012-2013) Dr. Melissa Milanak earned her Ph.D. in Clinical and Community Psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and completed her pre-doctoral internship in Clinical Psychology at the Medical University of South Carolina. She is currently completing her first year of Postdoctoral Fellowship at the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center (NCVC) at the Medical University of South Carolina. Her research interests include emotional processing among individuals with trauma exposure, the examination of PTSD qualifying criterion A events, sequelae of trauma, and PTSD symptom structure. She is also interested in facial affect recognition as a measure of emotional processing and sleep disturbances associated with PTSD. At the NCVC, Dr. Milanak conducts research in relation to these topics of interest, and provides trauma-focused treatment to children, adolescents, and adults who have been exposed to potentially traumatic events. She is also active in the community volunteering time to help support crime victims and trauma survivors.
