Saskia Jorgensen | PHD Student
Saskia Jorgensen is a Clinical Psychology PhD student at George Washington University. She received a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Denver and spent two years as a lab coordinator at Rutgers before coming to GWU. Saskia is interested in identifying factors that confer risk for psychopathology in LGBTQIA+ teens and young adults, as well as factors that promote well-being in this population. She is particularly interested in the impact of identity-relevant stressors (e.g., targeted discrimination, anti-LGBTQIA+ policy) and identity-relevant protective factors (e.g., feelings of pride, community social support) on mental health outcomes.
