Rebekah Roulier, LMHC, is Doc Wayne’s Deputy Director responsible for organizational strategy development and global impact and scale. Becky also provides leadership and oversight to Doc Wayne’s strategic initiatives department, comprising external training through The Champions NetworkⓇ, internal and external learning, public relations and communications, and policy and advocacy. Through these efforts, Becky aims to make sport-based therapy a known and accessible treatment option for young people worldwide. 

Becky joined Doc Wayne in 2011 after serving as a coach in the organization’s early formulation as a competitive and therapeutic athletic league within residential treatment programs. Becky has drawn upon these formative experiences as a Doc Wayne coach and clinician in designing some of Doc Wayne’s most successful initiatives, including Chalk TalkⓇ Sport-Based Therapy, Kids & COVID, and The Champions NetworkⓇ. Becky has also contributed to the published research supporting Doc Wayne’s sport-based therapy model. 

As a former two-sport NCAA Division 1 student-athlete and college soccer coach, sports have played an impactful role in Becky’s life. Through these experiences, she became aware of the prevalence of mental illness symptoms in athletes. This led her to seek professional training, earning both an Ed.M. and CAGS in Counseling with a sub-concentration in Sports Psychology from Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education and Human Development. Becky is also an alumna of Boston University’s Institute for Nonprofit Management and Leadership program in the Questrom School of Business. As a coach, she holds a National Diploma from United Soccer Coaches.

In 2018, the City of Boston recognized her dedication to the city’s youth, naming her winner of the Mayor Martin J. Walsh Youth Advocate Award. The following year Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education and Human Development named Becky their inaugural Young Alumni Award winner. That same year, Becky was selected as an Upswell Fellow by The Barr Foundation. Upswell builds and equips an equitable community of change-makers, specifically focusing on racial justice, to support leaders’ dedication to a society where all can thrive. 

Becky helped lead Doc Wayne to receive the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Sport Award in 2015, receiving national recognition for being an “influential leader and model for others making communities healthier through sport.” Doc Wayne also received international recognition through the 2016 Beyond Sport, Sport for Health Award for their development of a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed sports-based group therapy curriculum called Creating ChampionsⓇ.

When not at Doc Wayne, Becky enjoys spending time with her four children and husband, especially outdoors. She is an avid supporter and fan of women’s sports, particularly the NWSL, women’s international soccer, and the WNBA.
