Biography

Professional Background

Megan Lytle, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Lytle's clinical and research expertise is in multiculturalism, with a particular focus on the health and suicide disparities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQ) individuals. She received a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Seton Hall University and completed internship training as well as a National Research Service Award (5T32MH020061) in Suicide Prevention Research at the University of Rochester Medical Center. In addition, she completed a research-based internship with the International Association of Applied Psychology NGO at the United Nations. Dr. Lytle is a licensed psychologist and the co-chair of the American Psychological Association's (APA) Division 44 (the Society for the Psychological Study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) Youth and Families Committee.

Research

Bearing witness to the marginalization of individuals in my clinical as well as my international work sparked my passion for focusing on the unique and diverse experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) individuals, especially those who are negotiating intersecting identities. Through my scholarship and collaborative relationships with community partners, I became increasingly aware of the dearth of knowledge and services dedicated to transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals. I have dedicated my career to developing the clinical skills and a focused scholarship to enhance well-being among members of TGD communities, as well as fight as against health disparities.
