I'm Dr. Judith Crews, a resident faculty member for the Department of Counseling at the ISU-Meridian Health Science Center. My areas of specialty include couple and family counseling and mental health counseling. Prior to coming to ISU, I worked in both private practice and in a community counseling agency setting as a mental health and couple and family counselor. My scholarly and research interests include counselor education, developmental models of supervision, family systems theory and practice, grief counseling, and certain aspects of human motivation and goal attainment. One of my non-academic goals is the pursuit of nationally uniform licensing for the counseling profession.

I look forward to working with you.

Specialty Areas: Counseling Techniques, Career Counseling, Counseling Supervision

I was raised in New Hampshire and graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in Sociology. I then decided that I wanted to attend graduate school in a very different part of the country so I enrolled at West Virginia University in Counseling where I received my Masters and Doctorate. Having enjoyed the experience of living in a very different environment from the one I was raised, I moved out West to Idaho where I have lived for over thirty years.

Professionally, I am interested in supervision, particularly where it relates to prepracticum/practicum supervision, career development (especially with children), and I'm also interested in Counselor Education professional issues such as accreditation and licensure. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, an Approved Clinical Supervisor, and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I also Chaired the Program Committee for the 2002 National ACES Conference which was held in Park City, Utah in October, 2002. I have served as Chair of the ACES Research Committee, and I served as President of the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision for 2003-2004. My most rewarding professional experiences have been as a team member and chair of several CACREP site visits. I currently serve on the CACREP Board of Directors.

In summary, I can think of no better occupation for me than Counselor Education and I look forward to meeting you.
