Vincent Walsh-Rock

Having the opportunity to teach at DePaul is a culmination of professional experiences from the past 25 years. I recently completed a career in public education serving as a counselor, teacher, supervisor, and administrator with experiences from K-12th grade. Teaching in the counseling field is an honor. Unpacking student lived experiences and incorporating them into their counselor identity is a fascinating process grounded in dialogue, co-constructed learning experiences and reflection. I continue to seek new understanding in the areas of clinical supervision, the application of Relational Cultural Theory in the classroom, comprehensive school counseling, and in the process of cultivating therapeutic alliance in counseling relationships. I also enjoy consulting with schools, counselors, and school counseling associations across the country.
