Dr. Nadia Barnett serves as Associate Professor and Program Coordinator for the Master of Science in Human Services within Mercer University's College of Professional Advancement. A two-time Mercer graduate (PhD 2015, MS 2005) and Howard University alumna (BS 2002), she transitioned from adjunct professor (2005-2017) to full-time faculty in 2017 while maintaining clinical practice as a sexual assault advocate at Grady Health System.
Her educational foundation includes:
- PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, Mercer University (2015)
- MS in Clinical Mental Health, Mercer University (2005)
- BS in Psychology, Howard University (2002)
Research integrates counselor education, trauma-informed care, and equity-focused pedagogy, with recent publications examining cultural immersion in Bali, HBCU assessment practices, and DEI in curriculum design. Her work consistently bridges academic theory with clinical application, particularly in sexual assault advocacy and nontraditional student support.
Dr. Barnett actively mentors students through research collaborations, dissertation coaching, and international study programs. She emphasizes self-care strategies and professional identity development while maintaining active clinical licensure and national certifications in tele-mental health and clinical supervision.
Though not leading a formal research laboratory, she cultivates interdisciplinary teams through Mercer's College of Professional Advancement and community partnerships, notably with Grady Health System's Rape Crisis Center where she provides direct victim advocacy services.
