SunHee Eissenstat, Ph.D.
My research focuses on successful integration into the community of people with disabilities. As well as vocational rehabilitation and career development that have been focuses of many research projects of mine, healthy lifestyle became a key topic with research findings indicating health as a main barrier for their reintegration to workforce.
Other studies focus on the use of technology in the counseling field. With a prevalent use of technology, my recent study focuses on the active use of telehealth in counseling, especially after the pandemic, and discussed the educational needs among beginning counselors for their quality service provision. Current research focuses on the use of technology in counselor education.
Cultural identity development among college students with diverse cultural backgrounds is also one of my research interests. Career development among international students was my previous focus and currently our team is studying family conflicts in the process of cultural identity development of second-generation college students.
Keywords: dietary intervention, telehealth, second generation college students
