Springfield College Doctor of Psychology Program - Psy.D.

Happy Wednesday! This week we will continue our spotlight with Deepashree Mohan Karve. Welcome to the program, Deepashree! 😊

Hi, my name is Deepashree Mohan Karve and I use she/her/hers pronouns. I am from Mumbai, India where I attended undergrad at University of Mumbai and received my degree in Psychology. I received one graduate degree from S.N.D.T. Women's University in Counseling Psychology as well as another in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Georgia Southern University. My clinical interests include working with immigrants, multicultural populations, trauma and micro-aggressions. In a sport and exercise setting I am interested in injury, rehabilitation, trauma, athletic identity, coach- athlete relationships and burnout. My research interests include athletic identity and burnout in collegiate athletes, coach-athletes relationships and burnout. I was attracted to Springfield because the program had diversity and emphasis on social justice advocacy. I feel like I will get to learn and practice a lot with my clinical and research interests.

Fun Fact: I was a professional Judo player for more than 15 years and I have represented India at Junior Asian Championships at Hong Kong in 2015.
