Center for Healthy Minds

Lily is a doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology Department working with Dr. Simon Goldberg.

Lily’s work and interest lie in several areas of research: methods to increase the efficacy of meditation-based interventions, such the use of personalization and coaching to improve outcomes; the interplay between psychedelic-assisted therapy and meditation, including how the two may mutually support each other in clinical settings; how meditation-based interventions may support flourishing in interpersonal relationships.

Lily has been practicing meditation for over a decade and spent 3.5 years living at the Cambridge Zen Center in Cambridge, MA, where she ran meditation groups for young adult meditators and incarcerated women at a correctional facility. Lily is also a certified teacher and trainer at Unified Mindfulness, where she has completed 420 hours of mindfulness coach training and served a variety of roles, including co-facilitating meditation retreats and leading mindfulness workshops.

Prior to attending graduate school, Lily worked in basic neuroscience research and on clinical trials of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
