Author Biography
Phillip T. Stepka, PsyD, is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at LSUHSC and serves as teaching faculty for the Harris Center for Infant Mental Health at LSUHSC. His interests include trauma throughout the lifespan, child maltreatment, infant mental health, fetal alcohol effects/syndrome, pervasive developmental disorders, sexual abuse and sexual behavior problems, and risk and resiliency factors in military families. Dr. Stepka serves as Project Coordinator for the LSUHSC site for the SAMSHA funded Early Trauma Treatment Network (ETTN), a center in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). He is a Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) National Trainer and consults on adaptations of other evidence-based practices for young children across the country. Dr. Stepka provides evaluative, therapeutic, and consultation services to military children, their families, and educators at the Belle Chasse Naval Air Station/Joint Reserve Base in South Louisiana. He also collaborates with the military’s Family Advocacy Program (FAP) in developing and implementing resilience-building interventions for young children with deployed caregivers and providing multi-disciplinary treatment to military families impacted by abuse, neglect, and domestic violence.
Lucy S. King, BA, is currently a PhD student in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University, where she studies the impact of environmental adversity on psychobiological development from the first months of life through adolescence. Her areas of interest include novel methods for measuring positive and negative aspects of the early environment and the effects of caregiving behavior on the development of stress response systems. She has previously held research positions in the Department of Psychiatry at Boston Children’s Hospital and at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. Ms. King has published and presented peer-reviewed research clarifying the associations between caregiving, early stress exposure, and biological reactivity and regulation in infancy and childhood. She has also conducted research on developmental psychopathology in children and adolescents exposed to natural and technological disasters. She is the recipient of a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.
