Ki Eun (Kay) Shin

Assistant Professor of Psychology

B.A., Northwestern University M.S., Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University

Description

Ki Eun (Kay) Shin, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program at LIU Post. Dr. Shin received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Pennsylvania State University in 2020 and completed a research postdoctoral fellowship at Teachers College, Columbia University. Her research interests focus on examining the cognitive and emotional mechanisms of internalizing disorders and suicidality and exploring novel treatment protocols to target those mechanisms. Her recent work utilized mobile app-based ecological momentary assessment (e.g., using a mobile app to administer a brief survey multiple times per day across the week) to investigate how cognitive and emotional symptoms and treatment process unfold in real time in individuals' daily life. Her current research also explores cultural factors in suicide risk and disclosure. Dr. Shin is committed to promoting social justice and equity through her research, teaching, and mentorship, as well as more broadly within the field of clinical psychology and academia.
