Chase Norwood

I am a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, committed to building a career centered on service, leadership, and meaningful impact. My academic journey has been intentional and progressive. I earned my Associate’s degree from Arkansas Baptist College and a Bachelor’s degree in Family Psychology from Williams Baptist University. I later completed two graduate degrees at Webster University, earning a Master of Arts in Management and Leadership and a Master of Arts in Human Resources Management. These programs strengthened both my understanding of human behavior and my ability to lead with structure, strategy, and integrity.

I am currently advancing my clinical training with the goal of becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor and eventually opening a private practice that serves youth, young men, and families. I am especially drawn to approaches that emphasize empathy, autonomy, and personal growth, as I believe meaningful change begins when individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Professionally, I serve as a Qualified Behavioral Health Provider and Behavior Instructor, supporting youth and families through skill-building interventions, behavioral support, and therapeutic guidance. My direct-care experience has deepened my commitment to advocacy and mentorship, particularly for young men navigating complex life challenges.

Beyond academics and professional work, I am a faithful man, a devoted father, and a committed mentor. My faith grounds me, fatherhood sharpens my responsibility, and mentorship allows me to invest intentionally in the next generation. I strive to model discipline, resilience, and integrity in every space I enter. My long-term vision is to combine clinical expertise with strong leadership to build sustainable, community-centered services that promote mental wellness and generational change.
