Dr. Janelle Cox | An Interview with Dr. Anah (Series 1, Episode 3) – PerceptA Therapeutic & Training Center, LLC

Dr. Janelle Cox, Assistant Professor, Department of Counseling, College of Education, Bowie State University

An Interview with Dr. Anah: Black women deserve all their love, recognition, and respect- All. Their. Flowers. We Amplify Black women Doctoral voices, and celebrate their works both in academia, and the community.

“The reasons why I’m doing these episodes are really to give Black Women Doctorates in counseling psychology, counseling education, the mental health field, art therapy, art education all their deserved love, recognition, and respect- their flowers, as well as amplify their voices and give them a platform to share their stories. Black women are awesome. Black women are great. Black women are powerful. This interview in particular, was one of great joy. Dr. Cox was one of my Teaching Assistants (although I incorrectly call her my intern during the interview), when I was an adjunct professor in the counseling psychology program at Argosy University, Northern Virginia. Dr. Cox was fantastic then, and I knew that she would soar to great heights- which she clearly has- I’m so proud of her! Not only does she drop some pearls of wisdom in this interview, but she shares a few glorious surprises. Thank you for all you do, Dr. Cox! You’re simply, wonderful. Oh…One more thing…Please, do not touch a Black Woman’s hair, unless you’ve been invited to do so.” – Dr. Chioma Anah

The Man In The Arena Theodore Roosevelt (April 23,1910)

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." -Roosevelt (1910)

Multicultural Counseling

"As a clinician of Color, I am deeply connected to social justice and multicultural issues in counseling. The emergence of the multicultural competence movement in counseling has been the direct result of the growing recognition of the negative psychological consequences and impact of oppression and racism in the lives of People of Color. More recently, many counselors have been working to identify and utilize more effective interventions to address these issues in multicultural counseling and bring about social change. The cornerstone of my practice has been to address these issues in my work with clients from diverse backgrounds, as well as in my role as supervisor and educator in the field of counseling." - Dr. Chioma Anah, 2012
