Callender is curious about the efficacy of mindfulness-based practices/interventions and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for improving the quality of life in ethnic minority groups, as well as how various ethnic groups experience, define, and use mindfulness-based practices/interventions and DBT. She has a special interest in Single Case Research Designs (SCRDs) and bridging the practitioner-researcher gap through teaching, research, and service.
