Taylor Kliebhan (she/her/hers)
Taylor is a doctoral student in the Virginia Consortium Ph.D. Program in Clinical Psychology. After earning her M.S. in Counseling Psychology from Holy Family University, Taylor worked as a psychotherapist before returning to school to pursue further training in research. Taylor’s research interests include the biological and genetic factors associated with trauma and adversity. She is eager to explore how these factors may influence physical, physiological and psychological outcomes following trauma exposure. She hopes that more research in this area will help acknowledge trauma-related symptoms as a public health crisis and subsequently emphasize the need for more efforts in prevention, screening and intervention measures.
