Meet Dr. Madson

Picture
 I am a Professor in the Counseling Psychology Program at the University of Southern Mississippi. I earned my Ph.D. from  
 Marquette University and joined the Southern Miss faculty in 2005.

 My research involves college student substance use, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing (MI). Currently I am an investigator in the USM Telenutrition Center studying a project funded by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIH). Previously I was a co-investigator on SBIRT training for Mississippi Medical Students (2015-2018) a project funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and was co-principal investigator on Hub City Steps (2008-2014) a study funded by the National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIH) evaluating an MI enhanced lifestyle intervention aimed at reducing hypertension among African American individuals.

At USM I teach graduate courses in evidence based counseling and psychotherapy, treatment of substance use, research methods and supervise the psychological services provided by advanced doctoral students at the Moffitt Student Health Center at USM. Thus, doctoral students in the BAR Lab will do clinical training at Moffitt. My undergraduate teaching includes courses in drugs and behavior, health psychology, counseling theories, and workshop in counseling procedures.

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Mississippi, member of the Society of Addiction Psychology and serve on the editorial board for the Journal of Substance Use Treatment and Substance Use and Misuse. Please view my vita, Google Scholar page, or my Research Gate page to learn more about my work.

Personally I am a big fan of the Green Bay Packers, am a Kansas City Barbecue Society Certified BBQ Judge and enjoy hanging out  with my dogs Lambeaux and Nola!
