Dear Doctoral CES Students,

It is my pleasure to introduce myself to you as the new Director of the CES Program. I come to you from a background of 17 years in higher education including clinical and school counseling. Clinically, I am a family therapist and work with the National Career Development Association where I am Assistant Editor for Career Developments and serve as a reader for the Journal of Employment Counseling. 

My clinical background spans 20 years of licensed experience in hospital, school, and out-patient settings. I currently have a small, private, telemental health practice where I focus on couples and families. 

In the next few weeks, it is my goal to set up an opportunity for us to have a meet and greet so I can learn more about you, your goals, and your experiences with the program. I am excited to be here and work with all of you! We are all in this journey, together. 

Warmly,

Dr. Patterson-Mills
