Dr. Machado's research centers on LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma therapy, and depth psychology approaches including Jungian and psychodynamic frameworks. He specializes in applying these modalities to queer experiences such as homonegativity, HIV/AIDS, identity development, and queer spirituality, with particular focus on the transformation of shame in psychotherapy. His scholarship employs narrative and arts-based emancipatory methods like poetic inquiry, autoethnography, and PhotoVoice to illuminate lived experiences.
