Dr. Lott is an Associate Professor and board-certified psychologist serving patients with a wide range of psychological symptoms. Dr. Lott is Co-Director and Director of Treatment Research and Education of the Grady Trauma Project (GTP), a team focused on examining risk and resiliency factors for PTSD and other trauma-related disorders in civilian traumatized populations. The GTP studies the intersecting effects of trauma and racial and socioeconomic stress on health in Black Americans that utilize medical care in Atlanta’s only public hospital, Grady Health System. Her research focuses broadly on understanding the long-term impact of interpersonal trauma exposure and how emotion dysregulation serves as a pathway to the development and maintenance of trauma-related psychiatric outcomes, like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. Dr. Lott also focuses on factors influencing intergenerational trauma-related risk and is working to identify modifiable treatment targets to address risk in mothers in the perinatal period. She incorporates clinical, behavioral, neural, physiological, and other biological measurement in her research to assist in better identifying clear mechanisms that may be targeted in treatment and improve psychiatric outcomes among traumatized individuals. Dr. Lott has run numerous randomized controlled trials to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of culturally responsive and trauma informed mind-body interventions to address PTSD in racially and socioeconomically marginalized groups.
