Jessica Lin, M.S.

As a fifth-year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student at Palo Alto University, Jess (she/her) is fulfilling her internship at her alma mater, the University of California Santa Barbara, as part of their Counseling and Psychological Services.  As an undergrad, she double majored in Psychology (B.A.) and Sociology (B.A.) with a minor in Education and Applied Psychology. She is interested in studying the intersection of multiple minoritized identities and conducting research addressing related mental health disparities. Her clinical population of interest are queer youth/transitional age adults of color. When freed of responsibilities, you can find her tending to her houseplants, hiking with her adopted dog Jingle, and checking out fun, new food spots.
