Kathryn S. Newton recently moved to the area from Atlanta, Georgia where she earned her masters in professional counseling and is completing her doctorate in counselor education and practice with a specialization in substance abuse issues. She is getting settled into her new home in Carlisle with her two cats, Maya and Thomas, and welcomes tips on hiking trails, coffee shops, and local attractions.

Through her clinical work with poor and marginalized clients she developed a strong interest in social advocacy which is reflected in her upcoming publications. She is currently completing data analysis on her dissertation, an exploratory qualitative study on “African American Women’s Experiences and Perceptions of Mandated Substance Abuse Treatment.” She is also in the process of completing two book chapters on issues of classism, ableism, and ageism for an upcoming textbook on multicultural counseling and social advocacy, “Developing Multicultural Counseling Competency: A System Approach”. Kathryn has several other publications pending based on her dissertation data, and will have opportunities for students interested in gaining research and publication experience. She looks forward to sharing her experience in counseling, as well as her prior work as a yoga therapy practitioner and trainer.
