About Today’s Guest

Dr. Angela “Angie” Schubert is an associate professor for the Clinical Counseling department. Dr. Schubert's area of research and clinical interests are in human sexuality and sexual development across the lifespan. Human sexuality is expansive and intersectional, and as such, Dr. Schubert is interested in exploring the human sexual experience as it pertains to perceptions of sexuality, gender, sexual behaviors, sexual constructs, and policies that work to support or oppress specific sexual-identified communities.

 Dr. Schubert’s teaching experience and expertise include the following topics: human sexuality, sexual issues, counselor identity, supervision, eating disorders, somatic processing, ethics, and diversity. Dr. Schubert’s teaching style is strongly experiential and pulls from social justice and equity-centered pedagogies.

 Dr. Schubert is the editor of the Clinical Counseling Chronicle. She is also the co-founder and past president of the Association of Counseling Sexology & Sexual Wellness. She is an AASECT-certified sex therapist and EMDR certified. Dr. Schubert is also on the editorial board for the Journal of Counseling Sexology & Sexual Wellness.
