Explore Something New This Spring: Neuroscience-Informed Counseling (COAD 6003)

Dear Students and Counselor Education Community,

I am so encouraged and delighted by your interest, enthusiasm, and thoughtful questions about our exciting new elective being offered this spring! Your curiosity and engagement are wonderful to see, and I am thrilled to share more about this learning opportunity with you.

New Spring 2027 Elective: Neuroscience-Informed Counseling

COAD 6003 | Spring 2027

This course offers an exciting opportunity to explore the fascinating connection between neuroscience and counseling practice. Together, we will examine how our understanding of the brain, emotions, behavior, stress, trauma, resilience, and neuroplasticity can deepen our work as counselors and strengthen the ways we support our clients and students.

This elective is worth considering for students across all three of our specializations: School Counseling, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Student Affairs/College Counseling. The topics explored in this course broadly relate to the work we do across these professional settings and offer valuable perspectives that can inform our work with children, adolescents, and adults.

Throughout the course, we will explore topics such as trauma and wellness, addiction and mindfulness, attachment and therapeutic relationships, sleep and mental health, neurofeedback and biofeedback, career development, psychopharmacology, and the ethical and cultural considerations essential to neuroscience-informed practice.

Most importantly, we will consider how neuroscience can inform thoughtful, ethical, culturally responsive, client-centered, and evidence-informed counseling across diverse populations and settings.

Whether you are curious about how the brain influences human behavior, interested in expanding your professional knowledge, or eager to discover new perspectives that can enrich your future practice, I hope you will consider adding Neuroscience-Informed Counseling to your Spring 2027 schedule!

Thank you again for your interest and enthusias. I look forward to the possibility of learning together as we explore this exciting and evolving area of counseling.

Please feel free to contact Dr. Jason O. Perry at **[email protected]** with any questions.

I look forward to seeing you this spring!
