Dr. McIntyre currently serves as Core Faculty and Director of Internship in the Department of Clinical Psychology at Antioch University New England. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship in the Program for Psychotherapy at Cambridge Health Alliance, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, where she provided psychodynamic treatment to adult patients. She previously interned at Pennsylvania Hospital, offering individual therapy in both a community-based clinic and a palliative care setting. She earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University in Brooklyn and her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. McIntyre’s scholarly interests center on adult development from attachment-based and psychodynamic perspectives, as well as the relational and common factors that contribute to effective psychotherapy. Her early research examined how stigmatization impacts identity formation in adults. More recently, her work has focused on the role of the therapist—particularly personality factors and training experiences—in facilitating therapeutic change. She enjoys teaching courses on these topics, mentoring students to present theoretical and empirical work at national conferences, and publishing research aligned with these areas of interest.

In addition to her academic role, Dr. McIntyre maintains a small private practice working with adult patients. Her clinical orientation integrates developmental and humanistic principles, with a foundation in psychodynamic case conceptualization. In line with this approach, she has served since 2020 as Early Career Representative and Head Secretary on the Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Psychology and Psychoanalysis Specialty Council. She continues to support the integration of psychodynamic and developmental frameworks into research, training, and clinical practice.
