Guest
Dr. Darius Green graduated with a Ph.D. in Counselor Education from James Madison University in May of 2020 and earned his M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health & Addiction Counseling from the College of William and Mary in 2017. Green is currently a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in the state of Colorado and a National Certified Counselor. Professionally, he is passionate about bringing topics of multiculturalism, social justice, and trauma-informed care to life through clinical work, teaching, advocacy, and mentorship.
Dr. Green’s greatest passions and research interests entail social justice and the liberation of racial and ethnic minoritized groups. Specifically, he studies and engages in advocacy related to race-based trauma, anti-Blackness, undue police violence, cyber hate, and abolition.
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice are central to who he is and the various work that he does across my professional roles. As an educator, he supports students in learning how to materialize these abstract concepts to create meaningful change in the lives of others. As a researcher, Dr. Green actively studies these concepts with the intent of promoting safety and belonging for people who are marginalized.
