"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are small matters compared to what lies within us."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Marcy Hunt-Morse, Ph.D, Director. I am a licensed psychologist and currently serve as Counseling Services Director. I've worked in a number of clinical settings, but have always found college counseling and my work with students to be most rewarding. College is a time of discovery and I enjoy sharing in student's journey toward self-awareness and growth. As a psychologist I am trained in a wide variety of personal and career issues that you may experience. My areas of special interest include: eating disorders, depression and anxiety, sexual assault and abuse, relationships, and women's issues. Some of my passions outside of work are being in nature (hiking, biking, kayaking, and running), travel, and cooking. I look forward to connecting with you during your college experience. Please be in touch...
Gerald Hayes, Psy.D, Assistant Director.I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experiences in a variety of clinical settings such as community mental health centers, hospitals, universities, and private practice. As the Assistant Director to Counseling Services, I am very involved in supporting B-W's efforts to enhance its ability to meet the needs of students, faculty and staff through outreach, consultation, supervision and the provision of counseling. Some of my professional interests include issues around spirituality, diversity, deaf culture, psychological testing, and clinical supervision. I strongly value and support the ability of an individual to make choices and consider it a privilege to be able to be a part of that process in another's life. On a personal note, I love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy playing guitar and writing music when I get the chance.
Theresa Novak, M.Ed., PC Counselor... Life will bring us both joy and sorrow and it's what we choose to do with it that matters. In addition to the joy and sorrow, we may find the journey of life to be confusing and isolating and counseling can help. I want nothing more than to walk with you through the confusion and discovery. I consider counseling a privilege, and believe that respect of every individual is a must. Don't hesitate, just call whether you have a problem or if you just want to work through what life means to you personally. I have a wide range of interests which include grief and loss, multicultural issues and issues related to adjustment, spirituality, women, relationships, and identity. On a personal note, I'm a social creature so spending time with family and friends is important to me. I love to cook and bake, and when I have time, one of my favorite hobbies is cake decorating. Reading, exercising, the theatre and music are some of the other things that bring me joy.
Jeffrey Mostade, PhD, PCC-S, Counselor. I deeply believe in the ability of people to create choice in their lives, and it's a privilege to share that intentionally with another person. I provide counseling supervision for the Baldwin-Wallace community at the Counseling Center. My research and professional interests include cultural diversity, the use of reflecting teams in training, and the effect identities of diversity on successful aging. I have worked successfully with a wide range of college students, older adults, people of diverse sexuality and gender, and people struggling with growth and life choices. I also maintain a keen interest in the positive effects of group counseling. I like to work, read, travel, kayak, and garden, not necessarily in that order. I look forward to meeting many of the individuals and organizations involved in the Baldwin-Wallace community. Stop by at the counseling center any Tuesday through Thursday to say hello.
Alan Castro, M.D., Psychiatrist. "I am a licensed psychiatrist working in the Counseling Center on a part-time basis. I am originally from the Philippines where I obtained my medical degree. I completed my residency training at Case Western Reserve- University Hospitals in 1997. My training and interests include mood disorders, adjustment problems, and cross-cultural influence on mental health. Because of the winning baseball team here in Cleveland, I decided to stay despite the cold weather. I have found the students here at Baldwin-Wallace to be a great group of individuals who make working here so enjoyable."
Shannon M. Schmidt, Doctoral Intern...I am a doctoral student at The University of Akron and this will be my second year as an intern at BW. I really enjoyed being a part of the BW community last year and I look forward to another wonderful year. I have a strong allegiance toward smaller colleges, as I received my bachelor's degree in counseling psychology from a small college in Iowa called Morningside. I believe smaller colleges are some of the best environments for growing and developing into the person that you want to be. My professional interests include gender role research, particular in the realms of men and masculinity and feminist development, sexual identity development, academic ethics and cross-curriculum approaches toward teaching. Previously, I have worked in adolescent in-patient substance abuse facilities and in community mental health. On the personal side, I am from Nebraska and I am still a loyal cornhusker fan! I am learning Tae Kwon Do and enjoy watching movies and reading whenever I get the chance.
Brittany Kelly, Doctoral Intern...I am a doctoral student at Walden University in their Clinical Psychology program and an alumni of Baldwin Wallace for my undergraduate degree in psychology. I have a Masters degree in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary and I am a licensed Clinical/Supervising Counselor. Besides beginning my experience at BW, I work in private practice and am a consulting supervisor for the Disabled Veterans Association mental health crisis line. My research areas of interest are with couples, adolescents transitioning from home to college living and young adult populations. I have worked in residential, community mental health, substance abuse and foster care settings. In my free time, I love spending time with my French Bulldogs, exercising, shopping with my mom and traveling with my husband. 
Erica Gray, Masters Intern...I am currently a graduate student in Counseling and Human Development Program at Walsh University, pursuing a dual M.A. degree in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling. I recently completed a Practicum at Walsh University, which entailed counseling undergraduate students on campus. I really enjoyed this experience and am looking forward to furthering my counseling skills in a college setting. In addition to my practicum experience, I have also worked in a community mental health center as a partial hospitalization group facilitator. My professional interests include group counseling, anxiety , depression and personality. Personally, I love to travel and have plans to see as much of the world as possible with my new husband. My other interests include reading , exercising and spending time with family (including my dog) and friends. I love animals and volunteer at the Humane Society in my free time.
Janet Chavez Maltbie, Masters Intern...I am currently a student at Cleveland State University working on obtaining my license as a counselor in the state of Ohio. In 1981, I obtained my Masters degree in Educational Counseling Psychology in California. Since that time I have worked in the career counseling field for about ten years and have helped many people make positive life changing decisions. People who come to see me usually feel stuck at some level. Some are discouraged or depressed. Some just want to talk about options for important decisions they are facing. One of the reasons why I like working with college students is because they are so open to possibilities. My passion is to help people realize their dreams , goals and aspirations. My other passions are music and golf. If I am not at BW, I might be composing, jamming with the band or looking for my lost ball on the back nine.
