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 centers on clinical research at the intersection of mental health and substance use, with a strong emphasis on harm reduction (e.g., psychedelic-assisted interventions) and strengths-based methodologies.
