Hi everyone! My name is Aaliyah Melendez and I am one of the undergraduate clinical assistants at the Harris Center at the University of Kentucky!

This year, I have had the wonderful opportunity to assist both in clinic and behind the scenes on social media. Mental health is something that deeply matters to me and being able to work in a therapy setting while helping promote awareness has been such a rewarding experience

After I graduate this spring I plan to work as a clinical or research assistant as I am working towards my masters in clinical mental health to become a licensed therapist and I hope to work in pediatrics. I am so excited to continue learning and and growing in this field!

The Harris Center is the training clinic for the University of Kentucky’s Clinical Psychology PhD Program. Since 1976, we have provided low-cost, high-quality mental health care to the Lexington community and can now offer some of our services across Kentucky through Telehealth.

We believe that everyone deserves access to excellent, evidence-based mental health services, regardless of identity, background, or their ability to pay.

As a training clinic, our capacity is limited and wait times can vary, but if we are not the right fit for you, we will help connect you with other community resources that can better assist your needs.

Meet one of our undergraduate clinic assistants and a key part of the Harris Center social media team! “Hi! My name is Amanda Woolum, and I have the pleasure to assist the Harris Center at UK this academic school year. I get to help in several ways both at our clinic and through our social media accounts. Mental health is something that largely matters to me, so being able to work in the therapy setting and promoting awareness has been an awesome experience! After I graduate this spring I plan to work in research and apply to graduate school in pursuit of conducting research on substance use disorder. I am very passionate about reducing the stigma around drug use and hope to become a therapist for people seeking treatment!”

Five of our clinical psychology doctoral students (Tess Fagle, Troy Hubert, Urveesha Nirjar, Nita Kulkarni, and Anthony Song) and the Harris Center Director (Dr. Amber Billingsley, PhD) attended the Be Healthy Bash this past weekend on Saturday, September 20th to promote services at the Harris Center and to conduct memory screenings. We ended up conducting over 2 dozen memory screenings and handed out almost 40 flyers for our Memory, Aging, and Cognition Group for Spring 2026. We also handed out tons of resources to the community about stress and anxiety management, healthy aging, and more! We had a great time and can't wait for next year!
