Chaya Abrams PhD, LPC, LAC
Associate Professor, Clinical Teaching Track
- School of Education & Human Development
From a very early age, the value of service to others was instilled in me, propelling me toward a career in the helping professions. I discovered a passion for counseling and counselor education as a former educator and ultimately combined my love for teaching and counseling through completion of a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am continuously inspired by the opportunities to embrace humanity and curiosity through my roles of psychotherapist, counselor educator and supervisor, and researcher.
