About Katherine Kelton
Clinical Biography
Katherine Kelton, Ph.D., MSPH, is a licensed clinical psychologist and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Kelton sees patients on an outpatient basis at the UAMS Psychiatric Research Institute. Dr. Kelton has expertise in utilizing evidence-based interventions to assess and treat persons with complex clinical presentations with specialization in trauma-related and substance use disorders. She is passionate about co-creating an empowering environment for people to explore their experiences and identities with curiosity over judgement. Dr. Kelton also works with the Health and Legal System (HEALS) Lab on several projects and collaborates with investigators at the South Central Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC).
