Saren H. Seeley, Ph.D.

Hello! I am currently a NIMH T32 postdoctoral research fellow in the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai’s Psychiatry Department.

I completed my PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Arizona and the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center, following undergraduate studies at CUNY Hunter College.

My research at ISMMS aims to identify neural mechanisms of adaptation to trauma and loss, with a focus on (1) PTSD resilience in a cohort of 9/11 World Trade Center trauma-exposed responders (in the Trauma and Resilience Program, and (2) developing computational psychiatry models to understand mechanisms of prolonged grief disorder (in the Affective Neuroscience Lab).
