Juanita Barnett, PhD., L.P.C., N.C.C

I received my doctorate degree in Counselor Education and Supervision from Auburn

University; master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Alabama State University;

and my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Florida State University. I am a Licensed

Professional Counselor in the state of Alabama and a National Certified Counselor with NBCC.

I am also an Assistant Professor of Counseling at Alabama State University.

With more than 10 years working as a counseling professional in various capacities, I have more

than 20 years working in the helping profession. I am EMDR trained with a niche in helping

individuals navigate traumatic experiences.

My research interests include mental health related issues within the Afro-Caribbean

immigrant populations, global mental health, and spirituality in counseling. I am passionate about bridging the gap and eliminating the

disparities in mental health services for underserved and underrepresented minority

populations through counseling services, research, advocacy, training, leadership, service, and

outreach activities.

When I am not making an impact in the counseling profession, I enjoy spending time with my

family, swimming, and traveling.
