Biography

Dr. Dowling completed her bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in sociology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. She then completed a master's degree in applied behavior analysis and psychometrics at Queens College at the City University of New York. While there, her research focused on the implementation of formal self-monitoring procedures to reduce documentation errors in direct care settings. Dr. Dowling then completed a master's and doctoral degree in clinical psychology at the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology. Her doctoral research looked at early cognitive deficits in children who would go on to develop schizophrenia and proposed a screening instrument to identify these children for early intervention. Dr. Dowling completed her pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral research fellowship at the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, where she provided assessment, therapy, and crisis intervention services to men in a medium security correctional facility. Dr. Dowling has specialized training in trauma, recidivism risk assessment, adoption competency, and the treatment of schizophrenia. Dr. Dowling provides psychological services including diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, and behavioral health interventions for patients participating with Froedtert’s CARF-accredited Brain Injury, Stroke, and General Rehabilitation programs. She functions as part of an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team to promote patients’ recovery, health, and quality of life after they have experienced significant injury or illness.
