Danny Shultz (they/them) is a Counseling Psychology doctoral student at Arizona State University completing their third clinical field placement at SOGIA. Danny graduated from California State University with BAs in Philosophy and Psychology in 2013 and an MA in Psychological Research in 2019. Danny’s primary research interests include using queer, feminist, and intersectionality theories to identify and address factors negatively impacting LGBTQIA+ mental health.
Danny’s research experience includes an undergraduate honors thesis on psychopathy and moral judgment, a master’s thesis on the role of emotion in white American racial justice activism, autoethnographic approaches to nonbinary gender and cisheteronormativity, and a variety of research projects with Dr. Em Matsuno’s EMPowerment Lab about intersectional and trauma-informed approaches to nonbinary gender minority stress and resilience, gender-affirmation scale development, parenting trans and nonbinary youth, and is currently working on a dissertation project about the functions of humor in queer and trans communities.
As a clinician Danny has worked in LGBTQIA+ suicide prevention with the Trevor Project, community mental health, and university student counseling centers. Danny utilizes an integrative trauma-informed, feminist, strengths-based, solution-focused, and psychodynamic approach to help foster empowerment by identifying, processing, and reframing the impacts of mistreatment and stigmatization on mental health concerns, particularly in LGBTQIA+ communities. Danny considers advocacy, community organizing, and relationship-building to be integral aspects of their approach to clinical work that centers addressing contextual factors influencing mental health concerns.
As a person Danny enjoys playing video games, cooking, listening to music, writing, and laughing as often and passionately as possible.
