Biography

Dr. Quyen Do (she/her) received her doctorate in Experimental Psychology in 2023, and is currently a postdoc research associate at the Yale University Child Study Center. Her research focuses on psychological trauma and interpersonal violence examined within an multicultural and intersectionality framework. Dr. Do has extensive research experience, as evidenced by authorship on a number of peer-review publications and conference presentations on various topics including trauma, violence, and health disparities in marginalized communities. Her skillset involves project management, data collection, and advanced statistical analyses across quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research designs.

In clinical work, she adopts a trauma-informed and multicultural approach, taking into consideration how a person’s unique identities can inform their views, experiences, and the way they show up in relationships with others.
