Dr. Mae Lynn Reyes-Rodríguez is a clinical psychologist and Associate Director of Inpatient Psychological Services at the UNC School of Medicine. Her professional goals are focused and straightforward: make mental health care fit women’s real lives by closing cultural, linguistic, and access gaps. A former NIMH postdoctoral fellow who adapted cognitive behavioral therapy for Latinas, she now brings that same precision to perinatal mental health as a co-investigator on the MomGenes study. She is committed to practical, evidence-based tools for all mothers while offering a deep, bilingual understanding of Latina and immigrant families. She hopes to expand bilingual screening and education, reduce stigma around postpartum depression, and train clinicians to deliver culturally relevant care across communities.
