Background

Dr. Carol Langelier began her professional career as a middle school science teacher. After five years of working at the middle school level, she transferred to the high school level where she taught biology, chemistry, and physics. As she became increasingly aware that she wanted to “do more” with students, especially in terms of their emotional wellness, she pursued her master’s degree in school counseling and enjoyed ten years as a school counselor.

With a desire to still “do more,” Dr. Langelier earned a CAGS and Ph.D. in counseling psychology and became a licensed psychologist. She worked in outpatient settings including marriage and family therapy centers and inpatient chronic mental health facilities. She believes her most valuable training and insights into the human condition came as the result of her work with the chronic care psychiatric population.

Dr. Langelier also served as a full-time school psychologist, while working as an adjunct faculty member at Rivier University. The work she did as an adjunct faculty member, teaching classes in the C.A.G.S. program in school psychology, opened the door to her current position as Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Counseling Programs at Rivier University.

She has received the Award for Innovative Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Technology, which was presented to her at the 17th International Conference on College Teaching & Learning in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and was also nominated for the 2011 NHCUC “ED”ies Award.

Dr. Langelier’s academic training and the richness of her professional path enable her to provide Rivier graduate students with a wealth of real-world experience and guidance as they pursue their degrees and careers.
