Marcella Rolle, LAPC, NCC, CAMS, is a recent transplant to Pennsylvania from Georgia where she has worked most of her career as a counselor. Professor Rolle has worked with graduate level counseling students, teaching such courses as group counseling, addictions counseling and career counseling. She currently serves as an assistant professor in the PCOM School of Professional and Applied Psychology where she teaches and advises mental health counseling students.
In addition to her work at PCOM, Ms. Rolle operates a private telecounseling practice called Clear Minds Counseling, Consulting, and Training LLC where she provides therapy and training related to trauma, depression and anxiety for adults, children, families and organizations. Prior to that, she worked closely with children in the school setting struggling with attention deficit and anxiety disorders. Additionally, she provided TF-CBT to survivors of trauma and sexual assault at a local child advocacy and sexual assault center.
Professor Rolle is completing her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Walden University where she is conducting research on the relationship between microaggressions, academic strategy development and region of upbringing among Black women in doctoral programs. Her hope is to use this data to develop best practices for supporting, mentoring, supervising and educating Black women in their doctoral journey.
