About

Laura Shannonhouse is an Associate Professor in the Clinical Mental Health and Doctoral programs in Counseling. She has provided counseling and therapy services in various clinical settings: a cancer center, a crisis center, college counseling centers, private practice and hospitals. She has been deployed to work with disaster-impacted populations both domestically and internationally. Therefore, her research centers on crisis intervention and disaster response; she is curious about how people make sense of suffering through their faith. Specifically, she conducts community-based research to prevent suicide (suicide first aid), and with disaster-impacted populations in fostering meaning-making through one’s faith tradition (spiritual first aid). Her work aims to understand and improve system level responses and outcomes for those struggling with suicidality (i.e. aging, school, university systems), and improve responses and outcomes with those impacted by disaster. Most recently her work has included the development and testing of interventions through clinical trial, examination of longitudinal treatment level/provider effects through multilevel modeling, and measurement work. She feels blessed that her lines of scholarly inquiry have been funded by both federal (Department of Health and Human Services), and foundations (John Templeton Foundation) entities.
