Megan Goslin, Ph.D.

Clinical Psychologist 

Dr. Goslin is passionate about educating the next generation of mental health professionals. She is actively involved in the Child Study’s Center’s training programs for advanced psychology and psychiatry fellows, providing clinical supervision and mentoring in evidence-based, trauma-focused treatments and comprehensive psychological assessment. Her mentoring and supervision style emphasizes clinician wellbeing, addressing early signs of burnout to support enriching and sustainable careers for fellows and early career professionals. 

Regionally, Dr. Goslin is routinely sought out to enhance trauma-informed systems in which children are embedded, regularly training attorneys representing youth in the child welfare system, K-12 educators, and law enforcement officers. In forensic settings, Dr. Goslin has served as an evaluator and expert witness in child trauma. She has provided consultation to attorneys defending individuals exposed to violence and been deposed in legal matters affecting entire school districts related to their duty to protect students from sexual abuse. 

Dr. Goslin provides national and international consultation to support organizations with implementing the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention, an evidence-based early mental health intervention for traumatized youth and families. With her colleagues, she has taken the lead on revising a treatment application of CFTSI for young children (i.e., CFTSI-YC) and provided the first national training on this revised model in 2025. 

Dr. Goslin also has expertise in responding to mass casualty events. For example, following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, she was a key member of Yale’s coordinated response. The Yale University Trauma Resilience and Recovery Team brought together trauma specialists from Yale’s CSC Trauma Services, Psychiatry, and VA with external experts from UCONN, the National Center for PTSD, and Clifford Beers. Supported by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the team collaborated to provide a multi-layered approach to meet the impacted community’s needs. Dr. Goslin worked directly with surviving students, families, educators, and the broader Newtown community. 

Dr. Goslin regularly disseminates her expertise through local and national media (e.g., NYTimes, Connecticut Public Radio, APA Monitor on Psychology), university and community-based panels, lectures, and trainings. She worked with colleagues to develop public health resources for the COVID-19 pandemic, which were disseminated widely, including through the US Congress. 

Dr. Goslin’s research interests include assessment and intervention with youth exposed to trauma and violence and understanding and addressing barriers to engaging in outpatient treatment, including by using telehealth. She leads the evaluation of CFTSI-YC through her research.
