Biography

Alexandra Adame CV (PDF)

My undergraduate education at Mount Holyoke College is an essential cornerstone in my professional development. I experienced small classroom learning environments with dedicated and inspiring faculty. The women's college setting helped me to find my voice through many supportive peer and mentoring relationships. The opportunity to complete a senior honors thesis ignited my passion for qualitative research and gave me the confidence to begin a doctoral program upon graduation.

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology at Miami University, where I trained in humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral modalities. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at SUNY Upstate Medical University and then began my teaching career at Seattle University in 2010.
