Nicholas Mian
 

Dr. Nicholas Mian will join the UNH Manchester faculty this fall as an Assistant Professor of Psychology, bringing expertise in child and family psychotherapy to the program.

Mian is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the Child Program at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, where he provides direct clinical services and clinical supervision in their training program. His research focuses on understanding anxiety in young children and how this knowledge can inform the design and implementation of early intervention and prevention programs.

Mian's research has investigated the presentation and developmental course for anxiety symptoms in young children, as well as risk factors for childhood anxiety. He is interested in understanding the needs and help-seeking behaviors of parents in high-risk communities in order to develop strategies to enhance engagement in research-based prevention programs for anxiety disorders. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences.

Mian graduated from Bowdoin College in 2002 with an A.B. in Psychology and Art History. He earned a Master’s Degree in General Psychology from Boston University and completed his doctoral training in Clinical Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Boston. He has practiced at several community and clinical agencies in the Boston area and completed his pre-doctoral internship at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Mian’s clinical training has focused on outpatient child and family psychotherapy and neuropsychological testing in children.

Mian has also taught a variety of psychology classes at Boston University and University of Massachusetts Boston, and he is very excited to start working with students in the UNH Manchester community.
