Dr. Redlinger-Grosse’s research focuses on the integration of genetic counseling and psychology through study of genetic counseling processes and outcomes, as well as training. Past studies have examined genetic counseling processes such as self-disclosure, elaboration of frameworks for genetic counseling and supervision, and the support needs of underrepresented student populations in fieldwork supervision. She also actively works to implement and translate research findings to improve supervisory and student training through teaching and national workshops.
Research statement
As a genetic counselor and psychologist, Dr. Redlinger-Grosse (she/her) believes in the psychosocial needs of genetic counseling patients. As such, her research contributes to the genetic counseling field's awareness of how genetic counseling patient experiences, as well as training, can be informed by psychology. She investigates research questions that qualitatively examine how genetic counselors’ perceive process dynamics such as responses to religious/spiritual statements, requests for self-disclosure, or supervisory experiences with racial/ethnic student minorities.
