Susanna Gallor, Ph.D.
Staff Psychologist
Susanna was born and raised in Miami, Florida and received her B.A. degree in psychology from the University of Florida. She received her M.A. and Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Maryland. Stemming from professional as well as personal experiences, Susanna has developed a strong interest in the intersection of multiple minority identities and the experiences of various minority groups. In her Master's thesis she explored the social support experiences of racial/ethnic minority lesbian and gay individuals. In her doctoral dissertation, she explored the experiences of parents who have a lesbian, gay, or bisexual child and their relationships.
After briefly moving back south to complete her pre-doctoral internship at the Emory University Counseling Center, Susanna decided to move farther north again and did a postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard University Mental Health Service. She misses her family and the warmth in Miami, but she enjoys discovering new places and the change of seasons.
Susanna's counseling approach is predominantly humanistic and interpersonal, but she also draws from feminist and cognitive-behavioral approaches. She has worked with undergraduate and graduate students who struggled with a wide range of issues, including stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, eating concerns, academic and career concerns, relationship concerns, and family-of-origin concerns. She has a special interest in issues related to identity development, coming out and LGBT-related experiences/concerns, and cultural diversity.
