Allison Clarke, PhD is a child clinical psychologist and sleep specialist, providing clinical care and conducting clinical research focused on behavioral strategies to improve child and adolescent sleep. She completed her doctoral training at Northwestern University where her research focused on interventions for adolescent anxiety and depression. She completed her pediatric psychology internship at UNC Children’s Hospital in Chapel Hill, NC, specializing in clinical care for youth with acute and chronic illnesses. She continued her training as a postdoctoral fellow at La Rabida Children’s Hospital in Hyde Park. Dr. Clarke fell in love with behavioral sleep medicine as she recognized the significant impacts that sleep improvements had on overall functioning and mental health. Since graduating in 2015, Dr. Clarke has worked at Advocate Children’s Hospital and, for the past 3 years, Lurie Children’s Hospital, where she helps children and their parents to address sleep concerns, including: difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, delayed sleep-wake schedules, adjustment to CPAP devices for sleep apnea, and nightmares/bedtime fears.
