Maya Zaidan is a mental health advocate at heart. She has a diverse set of research experiences which began with the Neurodiversity Foundation in Amsterdam in 2020, and most recently, she has completed her MSc in Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience from Maastricht University in the Netherlands, which included a practicum at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Canada. During her time at CAMH, she focused on how social support, trauma, and race and ethnicity influence treatment satisfaction in women with perinatal depression and anxiety. Maya is an aspiring clinician-scientist hoping to integrate clinical psychology, health technology, and research together with a focus on social justice, access to care, neurodiversity, and trauma-informed care.
