Dru Phoenix, M.A., LMHC, Director of Enrollment Services

Dru Phoenix is the Director of Enrollment Services at Southwestern College and has also served as adjunct faculty in prior years.  She has a MA in Counseling from Catholic University of America and also a MA in Art Therapy/Counseling from Southwestern College. Dru was a behavioral health and management consultant for several years offering consultations to Fortune 100 and 500 companies on behavioral health issues including trauma in the workplace, risk management, and management skills. 

She has been a practicing intuitive counselor/coach for several years and currently has a private practice that combines art, somatic work, intuitive processes, EMDR and sandtray therapy.

While at SWC, Dru remains committed to education and the holistic perspective that Southwestern College carries: “I have had an ongoing interest in the power of art in healing and enjoy delving deeply into this at SWC. It has been inspiring to study with so many amazing individuals and very gratifying to be able to serve them here in my role at the college. I am particularly interested in providing guidance and support to our students as they step into their professional identity as a counselor and art therapist. There are so many opportunities in this field and I am invested in empowering our students and graduates to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to be the best they can be.” 

Dru invites people to call and chat about their interest in graduate studies in counseling and art therapy and/or the many certificate specialty areas that are available. She can provide career advisement and answer questions about future employment and strategizing toward making the most of their graduate degree.
