Emily Walker - Student Counselor

Emily is a graduate school student working on her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Regent University. She graduated from The King's University with a Bachelor's degree in Counseling in 2020. Before starting her graduate program, she worked with a nonprofit that provided resources and care for young women who have experienced immense amounts of trauma, and worked as an aide for a non-verbal, special needs boy for three years. Emily believes it is the highest honor to be trusted with even the smallest part of other's stories, and has always felt passionate about being there for hurting people when they feel alone; walking alongside them in the trenches-however that may look. 

After recognizing how much she grew from going to counseling during one of the darkest times of her life, Emily knew this was the field in which she was meant to build her career. She is so excited to be able to learn from all the counselors at Hope and Growth Center, and to begin applying everything she has learned in classes over the past two years!

Outside of school and work, Emily loves spending time with her husband, daughter, and two dogs. She loves to travel, do yoga, watch movies, and spend time with friends.
