Yitong
Xin, Ph.D.
I'm an Assistant Professor at the College of Social Work, University of Utah, where I combine research, teaching, and mentorship to advance knowledge in mental health and substance use treatment.
My work focuses on clinical research at the intersection of mental health and substance use treatment, emphasizing harm reduction (e.g., psychedelic-assisted interventions) and strengths-based methodologies. I have a particular interest in psychedelic-assisted interventions, which stems from my personal appreciation for nature and plants. Many psychedelics are plant-based medicines and have demonstrated therapeutic potential in mental health. I'm excited to combine this passion with my professional focus on supporting individuals in their recovery from mental and substance use disorders, exploring innovative and compassionate approaches to healing.
