Dr. Marlon Johnson (He/Him/His) serves as a licensed professional counselor and an Assistant Professor of Counselor Education at Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas. He grounds his work as a therapist and counselor educator through both a Narrative and a Critical Pedagogical framework respectively. Dr. Johnson’s clinical background includes community mental health counseling for families within the foster care system, Child-Centered play therapy, group interventions for adolescents experiencing resistance and trauma, and college and career readiness counseling within rural communities. Dr. Johnson is a recipient of the 2018 Doctoral Fellowship for the National Board of Certified Counselor’s Minority Fellowship program, allowing him to further the literature of recruitment for African American males into counseling programs. As an educator, Dr. Johnson trains students and scholars to think critically about difficult dialogue, cultural inclusion, and methods and standards of practice within professional and personal interactions. Dr. Johnson remains passionate about mental health access and equity, Black and Queer counselor identity development, inclusive career development strategies, and the intersections of faith, race, and sexuality within the counseling space.
