Bio

Victoria Chentsova is a doctoral student in the SDSU / UC San Diego Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology.

Areas of Specialization

Broadly, my research interests are at the intersection of social psychology and clinical psychopharmacology, understanding how environment and prior health experiences can influence psychology. Specifically, I am interested in substance use, from helpful (in treatment) to harmful (in problematic use) and the environmental, physical, and psychological factors that may an individual experience.
