Biography
Dr. Clay Rowell has been a professional counselor since 1995 and a counselor educator since 2005. He currently maintains a small private practice counseling individual adults and couples.
He believes that he has a responsibility to value the worth of each human being, and believes that all human beings have the capacity to change and grow. This value translates directly into his approach to teaching. It is a value that indicates his strongest beliefs about an individual’s experience in their Master’s degree program. Dr. Rowell believes that teaching is not just filling minds with facts or details. He believes it is not his job to simply help students make good grades, obtain a certain amount of credits, and get a diploma. Teaching is about helping students discipline their minds to create new ideas, rather than just following someone else’s directions. Teaching is about helping students develop character, search for values, acquire a love of learning, and fill their spirits.
Dr. Rowell desires to help students grow holistically - with their minds, emotions, bodies, and spirits. This approach can be meaningful for students as they continue to learn about themselv
