Derek Bergeron

Psychologist

Personal Statement:
Firstly, I must say that I am happy to be back at Texas A&M, and I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the university community as a professional staff member. I enjoy working in a university setting, and I feel there is a great potential for development within the student population. I strive to be a well-rounded professional, as I believe that the roles a psychologist in a university setting are asked to assume are varied (e.g. therapist, teacher, consultant, advocate). This attitude fits well with my role as the Psychologist for the College of Veterinary Medicine here at Texas A&M, as this position provides me the opportunity to provide service in a variety of contexts, such as providing psychoeducational classes related to various topics (e.g. perfectionism, stress management, animal hoarding), offering training in communication, and providing individual counseling. I enjoy my work, and am invested in facilitating the growth and success of students here at Texas A&M University. Outside of my professional endeavors, I am an avid musician. I also enjoy reading, watching movies, and cycling.
