Lindamarie has presented research on child welfare, mental health, and juvenile justice topics at numerous national and international conferences. Lindamarie has helped write several grants and received the Graduate Research Fellowship through the National Institute of Justice to fund her dissertation on the effectiveness of Neurofeedback in reducing trauma symptomatology and externalizing behaviors among justice-involved youth in intensive residential treatment.
