Biography
Professor Cathy Warn earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical Studies from Montreat College and her Master of Arts degree in Clinical Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She holds South Carolina state credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC); a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPCS); as well as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT); and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Supervisor (LMFTS). She also holds national designation as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor.
Professor Warn has clinical practice experience in grief and loss, parenting support, child, adolescent, and young adult issues, aging and caregiver issues, relationship concerns, personal growth and spiritual development, divorce recovery, pre-marital, marital/couple, and family therapy. Her practice style is a client-directed, outcome-informed, solution-building approach that considers the whole person (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) and their unique response to therapy using the lens of the Catholic Christian Meta Model of the Person (CCMMP) developed through Divine Mercy University. Most recently, her private practice focus has been on providing clinical professional services to other licensed clinicians who seek supervision, consultation, and/or coaching. These services are offered within the same client-directed supportive environment, with a focus on successful goal achievement, as well as personal and professional growth and development.
From 2002 to 2020, Professor Warn worked at Columbia International University in the College of Counseling as the Director of Training and Internship, and as a full-time resident Associate Professor for students pursuing a M.A. in Counseling degree. She has developed and taught a state approved postgraduate course in Clinical Supervision and Consultation to licensed clinicians seeking licensed supervisor credentials in South Carolina. Graduate level courses Professor Warn has taught or cotaught include Professional Ethics; Personal and Spiritual Development; Clinical Counseling Orientation; Counseling Techniques; Advanced Counseling Techniques; Clinical Placement Orientation; Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling; Counseling Practicum; and Counseling Internship.
In 2020, Professor Warn began work at Divine Mercy University in the School of Counseling. She currently holds the positions of Director of Training and Internship, and full-time Associate Professor for students pursuing an online M.A. in Counseling degree. In addition, she continues to maintain her part time private practice with a focus on providing supervision to those seeking licensure in the state of South Carolina.
