전기 및 작가의 여정

Faith G. Harper built her career at the intersection of counseling, sexology, nutrition, and trauma-informed education. Her formal training moved from a B.A. in psychology at the University of Oklahoma in 1995 to an M.A. in community counseling at the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2008 and a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision there in 2013. She later added certifications in sexology, applied clinical nutrition, hypnotherapy, meditation, yoga, and related mind-body modalities. Across academic, community-mental-health, and private-practice settings, she developed a style that favored practical explanation over jargon and a wellness perspective over a narrowly medical model.
