Kelly Koerner

Kelly Koerner, PhD, is CEO of Jaspr Health (www.jasprhealth.com) and Clinical Faculty in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington. Weaving together science, design, and social entrepreneurship, she develops highly collaborative, technology-based solutions to get evidence-based practices (EBPs) to the right point of care. Dr. Koerner has extensive practical experience in supporting individuals and systems as they learn, implement, and sustain EBPs in diverse settings (e.g., from paraprofessionals in juvenile justice facilities, to master’s-level counselors in community mental health and substance abuse treatment centers, to research therapists in academic clinical trials). Most recently, she and her human-centered design team have worked closely with scientists, people with lived experience, and emergency medicine providers to develop a tablet-based application for suicidal people. She maintains an active research program and is a recipient of the Career Achievement Award from the Dissemination and Implementation Science Special Interest Group of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
