Celeste Sangiorgio is an early career psychologist who studies the stability of personal beliefs and skills across relationships and settings, with a focus on how virtual spaces reinforce or diminish beliefs and skills. Her doctoral research focused on assessing effectiveness of digital platforms that target aggressive behaviors. Her present work continues this research by creating and assessing effectiveness of interactive games and simulation tools in virtual spaces embedded in digital treatment platforms (e.g., interactive puzzles and games, gamified coping skills, communication skill rehearsal in hypothetical and personalized vignettes). In addition to her research work, Celeste has experience in psychotherapy practice, including crisis work and advocacy (specifically: sexual assault, human trafficking, and intimate partner violence; eating disorders) and various presenting needs across the lifespan (i.e., Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and other complex needs).
