Dr. Natoli joined the faculty at Sam Houston State University in 2020. As a Ronald E. McNair Scholar, he studied psychology and sociology at Rider University; Dr. Natoli went on to earn his M.S. in Clinical Psychology (2015) from Eastern Michigan University before receiving his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (2020) from Adelphi University where he was a George Stricker Research Fellow.

Dr. Natoli’s clinical background involves training positions at New York City’s Rikers Island, the University of Michigan–Dearborn, Herricks Union Free School District, and a predoctoral internship with Ancora Psychiatric Hospital and New Jersey’s Ann Klein Forensic Center. He completed a psychotherapy fellowship with the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute in 2015 and is a Licensed Psychologist in the State of Texas.

Dr. Natoli was born and raised in New Jersey. Before moving to Texas, he coached college ice hockey for close to a decade with the New Jersey Institute of Technology and served as a scout and trainer with the USA Hockey District Development Program. Dr. Natoli still loves ice hockey and enjoys the outdoors and working on his art (painting, photography, mixed media).

Dr. Natoli’s program of research investigates all aspects of how we measure the things we measure. His Multimethod Assessment & Personality Lab (MAPL) also explores questions related to personality, applications of Artificial Intelligence in psychology, psychodynamic principles, and forensic psychology. Research projects generally draw-upon multimethod research designs and use an array of basic and advanced statistical approaches. Other projects consist of clinical case studies, theoretical papers, and meta-analysis. Dr. Natoli’s main areas of expertise are assessment and measurement, statistics, psychodynamic psychology, and personality disorders.
