M Lydia Khuri

I am a clinical associate faculty in Counseling Psychology and a licensed clinical psychologist. As the chair and director of clinical training, I work closely with the faculty to support students through the program from their first year through internship and graduation. I teach courses related to the practice and supervision of counseling/psychotherapy with an emphasis on effective delivery and meaningful outcomes, and on the history of psychology. Starting fall 2025, I will teach the family therapy course for the Master’s of Science in Mental Health Counseling program.

Prior to joining Educational Psychology, I was a program director in the Department of Housing of four undergraduate, living-learning communities focused on domestic and global diversity, women in math, science, and engineering, students in the pre-health professions, and undergraduate research. From 1997 until 2004, I worked as an assistant coordinator in the Program on Intergroup Relations, a social justice and experiential education program.

Since 1998, I have maintained a part-time, independent practice working with adults, adolescents, and children using interpersonal, Self-Psychology, and multicultural frameworks. My clinical work is informed by theory and research on development, affect regulation, psychotherapy process, and social systems.
