Alexandria (Alex) Burroughs, PsyD serves the Athletics Department as an Athletics Psychology Post-Doctoral Fellow.
Dr. Burroughs uses an integrative strengths-based approach to enhance mental performance and foster student-athlete mental health and well-being. She acknowledges that there are multiple ways to process and experience emotions and experiences and incorporates expressive arts therapeutic techniques into her work to provide alternative and creative ways to gain deeper understanding and achieve goals. She strives to form strong relationships that are rooted in openness, support, hope, and inclusion. She has a passion for all aspects of diversity and strives to create a space where every individual feels heard and valued. By doing so, she is able to collaboratively develop and tailor interventions to meet each student-athlete’s unique needs and highlight personal strengths to help them achieve their goals.
