I primarily utilize experiential methods (i.e. cooperative learning groups, role plays, guest speakers, case studies) in order to foster student growth and development. As students engage in the experiences related to the learning objectives, they apply and synthesize this learning in a meaningful way.” Dr. Guth is a member of the American Counseling Association, the Association for Specialists in Group Work, the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision, the Association for Multicultural Counseling & Development, and the American Psychological Association Scholarly Activities Dr. Guth is an active scholar and her research focuses on sexuality and diversity issues.
