Sport and Performance Psychologist
About Me
Dr. Chad Doerr
Clinical and Sport Psychologist, Psy.D

I've always had a passion for the pursuit of personal and performance excellence. After the completion of my college baseball career at Feather River College and undergraduate degree at the University of Nevada-Reno, I went on a 9 year journey across the United States to learn from some of the best sport psychologists, clinical psychologists, and athletic coaches in the nation. The University of Denver, James Madison University, and UC Davis all taught me how to provide competent, ethical, and effective mental health and performance interventions to a diverse variety of individuals. I am honored to have been the first Graduate Assistant Director of the Challace J. McMillin Center for Sport Psychology at James Madison University, named after the influential coach and mental skills consultant. As an Athletic Psychologist for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Athletic Department, I spent my day-to-day working and traveling with nationally ranked athletic programs. My experiences with elite Division I coaches, student-athletes, and support staff has allowed me to deeply understand the unique and nuanced difficulties and stressors that individuals face when competing at the highest levels. Now, as I begin the next chapter of my life in my hometown of Reno, NV, I hope to use my expertise to support your pursuit of personal and performance excellence.
