Zubin DeVitre, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor
College of Human Development Culture and Media

Dr. DeVitre joined the faculty in the Counseling Psychology Ph.D. program in Fall, 2023. Previously, Dr. DeVitre completed his doctorate in Counseling Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During that time, Dr. DeVitre took on a variety of responsibilities including, but not limited to, mentorship, training, clinical/supervision work, teaching, and research. Dr. DeVitre’s research focuses on the experiences of marginalized university populations (specifically South Asian American students) and how various psychosociocultural factors impact their well-being. In all his work (e.g., didactics, research, clinical), Dr. DeVitre strives to incorporate multicultural understanding as a foundational element as opposed to an addition. It’s for these reasons why Dr. DeVitre also views all his work as independent yet collectively informed elements which are made to provide a more holistic understanding of psychology.

In pursuit of the “independent yet collectively informed” approach, Dr. DeVitre has worked within a variety of clinical spaces (including award winning clinics), created and taught his alma mater’s first Asian American Psychology course, published one of the first studies on Indian American undergraduate well-being, served as mentor for the Posse foundation, and presented workshops at national conferences to assist university programs in bettering their attention to marginalized students’ well-being. With a variety of clinical, didactic, and research experience, Dr. DeVitre is excited to work with faculty, staff, and students to continue advocating for the needs of underserved populations.
