Alexandria “Allie” Stafford, PMHNP-BC


Alexandria Snow portraitTitle: Psychiatric Coordinator, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC)

Therapeutic Style: I am passionate about student-centric care. I am excited to support students by working with them to develop the tools needed to further their academic and personal success. One of my primary goals as a provider is to normalize discussions around mental health and help students acquire the language needed to have conversations surrounding it.­­ My clinical approach is geared toward empowering students, allowing each individual to feel more in control of their mental and physical health and wellness.

Professional Interests: My areas of interest include adult and adolescent psychiatry, as well as children and adolescents, especially those who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. I also enjoy supporting students with anxiety and mood-related disorders.

Educational Background: I began my education in New York State, graduating first with a bachelor of science in psychology from St. John Fisher College, and then with a bachelor of science in nursing from the University of Rochester. Immediately following graduation, I worked as a Registered Nurse in Washington, D.C. and across northern Virginia caring for inpatient psychiatric patients. I completed my education at Drexel University, obtaining a master of science in nursing with specialized study in mental health along with a post-graduate certificate in caring for those with autism across the lifespan.
