“I’ve found that life is often less about what is or isn’t, and more about what could be. I hope the possibilities of your ‘could be’ expand beyond your wildest imagination, and guide you toward something greater than you ever expected.”
About Me
I am Gabriel Lockett, Ph.D. (he/him), an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Psychology at New York University. I am a nationally recognized scholar whose work focuses on healing, wellness, and liberation for Black, Afro-diasporic, and LGBTQ+ communities. I am passionate about research and community engagement, and I also enjoy consulting, teaching, creating art, and spending time with family and friends.
In my spare time, I find joy in listening to music, taking photographs, and going on long walks that create space for reflection and creativity. My work is grounded in care, curiosity, and connection, both in and beyond academia.
