Alexandra Monzon, Ph.D., is an Assistant Research Scientist at the Nemours Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and a licensed clinical psychologist at Nemours Children's Hospital, Florida. She is an affiliated Assistant Professor of Medical Education at the University of Central Florida, College of Medicine.

Dr. Monzon received her bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Miami, her master's degree in clinical psychological assessment from Vanderbilt University, and her doctoral degree in clinical child psychology from the University of Kansas. She completed her clinical residency in pediatric psychology at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware and a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Nemours Center for Healthcare Delivery Science, Florida.

Dr. Monzon's research goals include designing, testing, and implementing scalable and more flexible intervention designs, such as single-session interventions (SSIs), to address the psychological risk factors youth experience that impact their health and well-being. Dr. Monzon is currently working on an NIH NIDDK-funded K23 project to adapt an existing depression SSI for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This project will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of integrating the T1D-specific depression SSI into routine pediatric T1D care through a pilot randomized control trial. Ultimately, Dr. Monzon aims to integrate brief and flexible psychosocial interventions into pediatric care to improve the acute and long-term psychological and physical health of youth with chronic health conditions.
