Biography

Lydia Chevalier, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. She earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Boston University and completed her predoctoral residency at the University of Washington in the Behavioral Medicine track. Dr. Chevalier then completed a research fellowship at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in pediatric cancer survivorship supported by the Swim Across American Foundation. During her fellowship, Dr. Chevalier conducted research evaluating psychosocial late effects of cancer treatment (e.g., sexual dysfunction, insomnia, anxiety) and received the Helen Gurley Brown Presidential Initiative Award. This award allowed Dr. Chevalier to transition to faculty at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where she continues to conduct survivorship research with a focus on sexual health, dating, and body image in young adult cancer survivors. Clinically, she provides evidence-based treatment for cancer survivors of all ages experiencing sexual health concerns, anxiety, depression, and other behavioral health conditions.
