New Core Faculty Member: Dr. Kanae Kura, PsyD VOL. 11
Dr. Kanae Kura, PsyD (She/Her) Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Kanae Kura received her Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2023. After completing her internship and postdoctoral residency in an APA-accredited community mental health site in rural Indiana, she worked as an adjunct professor at The Illinois School of Professional Psychology at National Louis University. In addition to teaching as an adjunct professor at the ISPP, Dr. Kura serves as a collaborator at the ARISE (Antiracism, Resistance, Identity, Socialization, and Equity) Lab at Purdue University. Her clinical and research interests are primarily on children, families, and couples; specifically, her publications are focused on mixed-heritage children’s racial socialization, transnational families, and interracial/transnational couples’ acculturation and parenting practices. Dr. Kura’s clinical areas of expertise include intergenerational trauma, treating adults and children with severe mental illnesses with complex family trauma backgrounds. With her undergraduate degree in languages, Dr. Kura worked as an interpreter in Italian-Japanese for about 15 years. This background and experience as a linguist built a strong foundation for Dr. Kura to serve clinical populations with different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. In the new role as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology, Dr. Kura will be teaching required and elective courses in the Child and Adolescent Track, coordinating further development of the track and courses, as well as working as a Chair for students’ dissertations.
We welcome Dr. Kura to our ISPP and NLU communities!
