Kevin L. Nadal received his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University in 2008. He was hired as a full-time Assistant Professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2008, but has been an Adjunct Lecturer at the college since 2006. Before joining the faculty at John Jay, Dr. Nadal has worked in several clinical settings in New York City, including Pace University Counseling Center, the LGBT Center, Fordham University Counseling Center, Manhattan Psychiatric Center, and the Center of Educational and Psychological Services. He has also worked at various colleges and universities in student services and multicultural affairs, including La Guardia Community College (CUNY), Columbia University, and Michigan State University. His clinical work has focused on a variety of populations including college students, substance abusers, schizophrenic patients, clients with eating disorders, depressed clients, clients with post-traumatic stress disorder, racial/ethnic minorities, and lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered individuals. Dr. Nadal’s research has focused primarily on multicultural issues in psychology, including impacts of racial discrimination and racial/ethnic/sexual identity development on mental health. Specifically, his research aims to examine the psychological impacts of microaggressions, or subtle and often unconscious forms of discrimination that send denigrating messages to people of color, women, and lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender individuals. His work on Filipino Americans has advocated for disaggregating broad racial categories, understanding marginalized populations, and dispelling the Model Minority Myth. Finally, his research on the intersections of identities, namely race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, aims to understand the mental health experiences of various oppressed individuals and groups, in hopes of leading to culturally competent counseling and clinical services.
