Elizabeth Koschmann

Dr. Elizabeth Koschmann is a licensed psychologist with expertise in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in children and adolescents. She founded TRAILS at the University of Michigan as a pilot program in 2013, and it has since grown to a multi-million dollar organization that has transformed mental health care access in Michigan and beyond. Along the way, Dr. Koschmann spearheaded several research initiatives, and co-led a five-year clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health, which evaluated TRAILS in 100 Michigan schools. Driven by a commitment to building a more equitable and inclusive mental health care system, Elizabeth collaborates with partners at the state and national levels, and focuses external efforts at TRAILS on increasing student access to effective services within their schools. These same principles of equity and inclusivity are applied internally at the organization, where TRAILS strives to ensure that every member of their hybrid-remote team is recognized and valued. Dr. Koschmann is a visionary leader and her long-term goal for TRAILS is to contribute to a world in which all young people have access to the mental health services they need.
