Springfield College Doctor of Psychology Program - Psy.D.

Hello everyone! This week our spotlight features Grayson Stevens. Welcome to the program, Grayson 😊

Hi, my name is Grayson Stevens and my pronouns are he/they. I did my undergrad in applied psychology, counseling, and gender studies at Ithaca College. Most of my jobs have been as a personal care assistant for people with disabilities. I am currently a graduate associate in the Office of Multicultural Affairs. My clinical interests involve working with LGBTQ+ adolescents, especially transgender and gender diverse individuals, in integrated care settings. I’m deeply invested in utilizing both trans-affirmative, neurodiverse-affirmative, and strengths-based models in my future practice. My main research interests include trauma and disordered eating in trans populations, as well as multicultural competence in mental health professionals. I was attracted to Springfield College because I really appreciate Springfield’s clear focus on social justice and the counseling psychologist as an agent of social change.

Fun fact: I hope to visit all of the Major League Baseball stadiums at least once.

Happy fall everyone! The PsyD program is so excited to be back on campus this semester and can't wait to introduce you to our 2021 PsyD cohort! Each week we will dedicate a spotlight post to each of the new students in the program.

For now, please enjoy this group photo of the 2021 cohort perfecting their "smeyes" while wearing their masks 😁😊
