Biography

Dr. Stone-Sabali is an emerging scholar in counseling psychology. His research aims to improve the lives of underrepresented individuals of color by centering investigative attention on the voices and experiences of Black and African American young adults in the educational and well-being contexts. Past studies have included investigations into the interactions between various mental health and psychological constructs, such as the impostor phenomenon, racial identity, discrimination, activism, shame, anxiety, and depression. In addition, Stone-Sabali’s research examines the attitudes and behaviors of individuals who interact with Black and African American individuals, such as non-Black educators, practitioners, and service providers. To this end, research inquiries are designed to illuminate factors contributing to productive cross-racial interactions and highlight the characteristics of racial ally or multicultural development. Ultimately, empirical findings are used to inform others about the experiences of Black and African American individuals and how to contribute to their experiences productively.

Dr. Stone-Sabali is involved in the profession, serving on three journal editorial boards: Division 45 Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, the Journal of Counseling Psychology, and the Journal of Black Psychology. Dr. Stone-Sabali is also the membership chair for Division 45. His work on White antiracists has been recognized and has received The Benjamin and Dorothy Fruchter Centennial Award for Excellence in Educational Psychology Research from the University of Texas. In 2021 he was also awarded a federally funded grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to examine service provider discriminatory experiences and protective factors among Black and African American young adults experiencing homelessness and substance misuse.

Dr. Stone-Sabali completed his APA predoctoral internship at the University of Texas Counseling and Mental Health Center. His clinical experiences include employing an Interpersonal Process Approach to provide psychotherapy to individuals and couples across various settings, including university counseling centers, career counseling centers, and non-profit community counseling organizations. As such, he is adept in providing data-backed effective therapy in brief contexts at university counseling centers, including single-session formats and crisis interventions. In addition, he is also experienced in providing clinical supervision to trainees from various disciplines, including counseling and clinical psychology. Beyond traditional clinical experiences, Dr. Stone-Sabali’s counseling background consists of non-traditional yet invaluable experiences, including work in mental health prevention and systems-level projects. For example, he delivered numerous stress management workshops to an array of university stakeholders, created a novel workshop to address failure and resilience, developed educational programming for mental health peer advocates, provided diversity and equity consultation for a nationally recognized movie theater chain, co-designed a curriculum for the mental health Thrive mobile app, and was an assistant coordinator for a multi-site bystander intervention initiative.

Dr. Stone-Sabali will be taking students for academic advising.
