Dr. Brittney Gray is a post-doctoral scholar at the University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital. Dr. Gray received her PsyD in counseling psychology from Radford University in 2023. Dr. Gray completed her pre-doctoral internship at Cherokee Health Systems with a clinical focus on integrated primary care, pediatric health psychology, and women’s health. Dr. Gray enjoys utilizing evidence-based treatments to assist children and families in addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) while fostering resilience and growth. Dr. Gray is currently providing specialized interventions for families with medically complex and premature infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Neonatal Abstinence Care Unit (NACU). Dr. Gray is a native Kentuckian and is looking forward to serving children and families in her home state with warm compassionate care.

Dr. Gray strives to engage in research that is applied, accessible, and directly linked to her provision of evidence-based clinical interventions. Through years of training and research mentorship, she has developed a robust skill set related to the development and execution of both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Dr. Gray believes that her individual research interests serve as a poetic reflection of her clinical interests in identifying and deconstructing barriers to mental healthcare services for traditionally underserved populations. Dr. Gray hopes to apply her research interests to projects aimed at increasing accessibility to mental healthcare services for Kentucky’s rural Appalachian communities as they seek medical care from the UK Kentucky Children’s Hospital.
