Alia Azmat, Ph.D.

Who am I

I am a second-generation Pakistani-Muslim American woman currently practicing as a post-doctoral fellow in Decatur, GA under the supervision of Dr. Anna Trad.

My work

My work has centered on understanding how mental health service utilization and outcomes are informed by identity, cultural stigma, and lived experience. I enjoy identifying, building, and implementing novel capacity-building programming for mental health users and their clinicians. My strengths include identifying recurring gaps and development needs and then mitigating risk due to these gaps.

I have a particular interest in supporting the development of sustainable work practices for behavioral health professionals in effort to reduce systemic burnout and vicarious trauma.

Let’s collaborate

I am looking to translate my expertise in culture change and mental health by partnering with educators, community leaders, therapists, and holistic wellness practitioners to create stronger systems of support for care workers. Let’s get in touch if any of this resonates!
