Father David Marcotte, SJ, is a Jesuit priest, clinical psychologist, and professor at Fordham University, where he teaches one of the University’s most sought-after undergraduate courses on the psychology and spirituality of
happiness and well-being. His work bridges faith and science, offering students a practical and deeply human
framework for living with purpose, resilience, and balance.

Father Marcotte is one of the developers of Spiritual Self Schema Therapy, an empirically supported approach
that integrates cognitive psychology, meditation practices, and an individual’s spirituality to address addictive
behaviors and promote long-term well-being. His research and teaching emphasize the essential role of
contemplative practice in cultivating mental health and human flourishing.

His academic and pastoral formation began in California, where he completed undergraduate studies in
philosophy at St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo, followed by theological studies at the Jesuit School of Theology
at Berkeley. While serving as a chaplain at San Francisco General Hospital, working in an HIV unit, he
developed a deep interest in the psychological dimensions of care. He went on to earn his doctorate in clinicalpsychology from The New School for Social Research in New York City and completed post-doctoral training
at Yale Medical School, specializing in substance use treatment, particularly among HIV-positive populations.

In addition to his work at Fordham, Father Marcotte has lectured internationally—including in South Africa,
Botswana, and Eswatini—on the spirituality and psychology of happiness. He is also a member of the
Psychology Coalition of NGOs at the United Nations, representing the Institute for Multicultural Counseling
