Edward Anthony Delgado-Romero

I am the Associate Dean for Faculty and Staff Services in the College of Education. I am also a Professor in the Counseling Psychology Doctoral Program in the Department of Counseling and Human Development Services. I am affiliate faculty with the Interdisciplinary Qualitative Studies program and the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute (LACSI) at UGA, and courtesy faculty at the School of Social Work.

I graduated from Rhodes College with a degree in Psychology and from the University of Notre Dame with my Ph.D. in Psychology. I completed my predoctoral internship at Michigan State University, worked as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Florida, and an assistant professor at Indiana University Bloomington. I joined UGA in 2005.

I am the president-elect of the Society of Counseling Psychology (Division 17 of the American Psychological Association). I was one of the founding members of the National Latinx Psychological Association (NLPA), a past-president of NLPA (2010). I’ve been honored with many awards and recognitions from APA, NLPA and UGA (see my CV for details). Most recently I received the Distinguished Career Contributions to Service from the Society for the Psychological Study of Culture, Ethnicity and Race. Last year I won the Social Justice Award from SCP and outstanding mentorship from SCP and the UGA Graduate School.

I established a Spanish language psychology clinic, la clinica In Lak’ech, in 2015. The clinica closed in 2024, and la clinica provided over 1,500 hours of therapy to undocumented, mixed-status, uninsured and Spanish-speaking clients. Under the supervision of licensed psychologists student therapists from counseling psychology, counseling, clinical psychology and social work have provided linguistically and culturally appropriate services, free of charge. As an advisor I have mentored over 50 students to the doctorate, 80% of whom have been people of color or international students. My students have focused their research on a wide array of multicultural areas and I have encouraged them leave communities richer for their presence through community service and active culturally humble participation.
