Alexandra Rousseau is a multilingual, multicultural third-year practicum student pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology at Palo Alto University. Her clinical and research interests focus on Neuropsychology and Pediatric Behavioral Health. She has a strong clinical background stemming from her mother and child-focused medical practice in Europe. Alexandra’s diverse upbringing laid the foundations for her eagerness to serve and help enrich multilingual, multicultural, and underserved communities. She strives to provide therapy and neuropsychological assessment services to children and their families who need additional support to develop adaptive skills in emotion regulation, behavioral coping, and executive functions. Through her training at CHC, Alexandra is keen to learn from a multidisciplinary team and deepen her knowledge in culturally informed and humble practices. She views this opportunity as a critical step in her career to better address the needs of vulnerable neurodiverse pediatric patients from varied backgrounds.
