Licensed Psychologist, Researcher, & Consultant
Bridging gaps in mental health access through collaborations with entertainment media and professional organizations.
Overcoming cultural differences in mental health, media, and corporate spaces requires thoughtful and collaborative consultation
As a licensed psychologist and researcher at the intersection of mental health and social context, I understand how culture and identity shape our experiences interpersonally and within broader systems.
Through research-informed consultations, I help organizations, media productions, and individuals navigate complex cultural dynamics with empathy, insight, and practical guidance.

Hi! I’m Dr. Veronica
As a licensed psychologist and researcher, I’ve spent over a decade applying culturally-integrative approaches to research and practice in the areas of cultural competence, race, and culture sensitivity training.
I’m an Associate Professor of Psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, where I train future clinicians at the undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels. I also provide psychological consulting for television shows produced by CBS, Paramount+, and iTV.
My work integrates my published research on race-based traumatic stress, racial identity development, and culturally competent therapeutic techniques.
