Jae Sevelius, PhD

Professor

Jae Sevelius, PhD, (they/them) is Professor of Medicine, a licensed clinical psychologist, and community-engaged researcher whose portfolio of NIH-funded behavioral health research focuses on intervention science and the investigation of risk and protective factors in transgender and gender expansive communities, elucidating and intervening upon relationships between intersectional stigma, gender affirmation, and health-related behaviors and outcomes.

Dr. Sevelius leads research to develop, test, and disseminate peer-led interventions to promote sexual health and resilience among transgender people by addressing intersectional stigma among transgender women of color and those affected by HIV in New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, and São Paulo, Brazil. Most recently, Dr. Sevelius’ research and clinical work has expanded to include psychedelic-assisted therapies for identity-based trauma.

Dr. Sevelius is also a dedicated mentor of early-stage investigators, with a focus on those with backgrounds and identities that are under-represented in academic medicine. They are a passionate advocate for transforming academic institutions to create environments where diversity is truly celebrated, equity is non-negotiable, and inclusion follows naturally from a culture of belonging.
