ABOUT

Dr. Rosalyn Davis is a clinical associate professor at of psychology at Indiana University Kokomo.  She received her BA in psychology from Fisk University in Nashville, TN; a MA in Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Ball State University in Muncie, IN.  Her academic travels mirror her military brat life with frequent moves in totally new circumstances and kept her actively engaged with academic life and new environments.

Before assuming her teaching position at IUK, she worked full-time as a Mental Health Clinician/Licensed Psychologist at the University of Arkansas Counseling Center.  There she provided individual, couple and group counseling as well as crisis services and outreach programming.  She worked to enhance the delivery of services to diverse populations, served on the university wide diversity committee, and was active on and off campus.  Upon leaving UA, she worked with gerontology patients and began teaching again at a local ground campus of the University of Phoenix.  That relaunched her passion for being with students and she sought out full time teaching positions and ended up back in Indiana during one of the literal worst winters ever.

She is a licensed psychologist in the state of Indiana and Arkansas.  She serves as the co-advisor of the Psychology Club, regularly works with students on independent research projects, supervises undergraduate internships and is the campus director of the MA in Mental Health Counseling program that launched in the Fall of 2018.  Additionally she is heavily invested in equity and inclusion work both on campus and off and works in several capacities to ensure she is able to educate others when she can.  She serves as the Faculty Diversity Liaison to help advance DEI work on campus.

Outside of the academic realm she's a cartoon fan, watches way too much tennis, is a trivia buff and a diehard Prince fan.  If you're lucky she'll go on a baking binge and leave the by-product of her cooking spree with you.  Italian and Asian are cuisines of choice and she's a from scratch baker--except brownies, no one needs to make those when the box is so delicious.  When asked what portion of a multi-course meal she would be, the answer is always dessert. It makes people happy is often the thing they remember the most so why not.
