Since earning her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin, she has dedicated herself to advancing the treatment of trauma-related disorders, PTSD, and stress management through innovative therapeutic approaches.

In 2015, Skylar completed advanced training in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) at Emory University under the guidance of leading experts in the field.

She co-authored "Healing Trauma: A Guide to Recovery" (Penguin Random House, 2019), which offers practical strategies for therapists working with trauma survivors.
