Bio
Dr. Elizabeth (Beth) Melles is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Counseling
and is currently serving as the Chair of the Department of Psychology and Counseling.
In 2019, she was named Outstanding Faculty Member by the Oklahoma Psychological Society.
She is also a Licensed Psychologist in the State of Oklahoma and works part-time at
a private practice in Tahlequah, seeing clients for therapy, ADHD, Learning Disability,
or Autism testing, and group work. Additionally, she is currently serving as the Co-Chair
for Oklahoma Psychological Association's Division of Research and Training. Outside
of work, she has very little spare time, having two rambunctious young children, but
when she does, she loves to woodwork, ride her motorcycle, go for a run, or curl up
with a cup of coffee and a good book.
Dr. Melles' broad range of research interests (the impacts of growing up abroad, postpartum
intrusive thoughts, social distancing during the pandemic...) reflect her passion
for applying psychological concepts to the world around her. She is always excited
to partner with students on their research.
Dr. Melles has taught a range of psychology courses including Abnormal Psychology,
Social Psychology, Positive Psychology, Introduction to Psychology, Experimental Psychology,
and Statistics.
