Kaevyn Lei Maple is a doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program at Saint Louis University. She has also completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Global Studies at Texas Tech University and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology at the University of Texas at Tyler, where she first realized her enthusiasm for psychological research and clinical practice. Growing up in disadvantaged neighborhoods in the southern U.S., she has first-hand experience of developing and living with hardship. These lived experiences have heavily influenced her career choices, research interests, and clinical practice. Kaevyn has an ultimate goal of becoming licensed as a clinical psychologist specializing in generational trauma, community mental health, and the impact of discrimination and systemic racism on minority mental health. She also is a champion for education for all and family cohesion. She promotes these values through online video content on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and her podcast. Kaevyn hopes to increase access and knowledge of mental health to promote positive change in the communities that need it most.
