Teresa Graye, PhD, LPCC, LADC

After obtaining a BA in Human Services/Addictions Counseling, Dr. Teresa Graye worked as an addictions counselor in the field briefly before realizing much more education was required to do the work of helping this population.  After obtaining an MA from Adler Graduate School in 2004, she felt more able to help clients with co-occurring disorders (addictions and mental health) and worked in the field for 17 years in residential, intensive out–patient, and out-patient facilities.  Dr. Graye was awarded a Ph.D after successfully defending her dissertation Education Level and Critical Thinking Skills Among Substance Use Counselors Nationwide in 2017 and began the work of educating and supervising students at Adler Graduate School.
