So, so proud of Korey and all of our LSU Counselor Education students who contributed to LCA 💜💛 Louisiana Counseling Association

Third-year LSU Counselor Education student Korey Cleveland co-presented with Dr. Bernell Elzey, Ph.D., LPC, NCC at the Louisiana Counseling Association Annual Conference. Their session, "Redefining Behavior: Addressing the Misdiagnosis of ODD and ADHD in Black Youth to Disrupt the School-to-Prison Pipeline," examined systemic biases contributing to the overdiagnosis and punitive treatment of Black youth, particularly Black boys. The presentation offered culturally responsive strategies to challenge diagnostic bias, promote equitable mental health assessment, and support interventions that affirm Black students’ academic and social-emotional success.
We are proud of our students for advancing equity and advocacy in counseling.

So proud of our Counselor Education students! 💜💛

Third-year LSU Counselor Education student Tracy Lyu presented a poster titled “Career Confusion to Career Confidence: Enhancing Career Exploration in Middle Schools” under the instruction of Dr. Jennifer R. Curry at the Louisiana Counseling Association Annual Conference.
The project examined ways to strengthen career awareness and exploration during the pivotal middle school years, drawing from practicum reflections and LSU Counselor Education survey data to highlight effective, counselor-led strategies that build career confidence.
We are proud of our students for their continued contributions to the profession.

Last week was full of growth and connection! I began at the Louisiana Counseling Association Annual Conference in Baton Rouge, reconnecting with colleagues and our amazing LSU Counselor Education students and alumni, then headed to Philadelphia for the ACES Conference to engage in new research and share insights on promoting wellness during counselor training. Grateful for the opportunity to learn, connect, and contribute to our profession.
