Meet Presley Gilchrist

Hello, my name is Presley Gilchrist and I am eager to be an intern at Counseling Center for Restoration Transformation and Play.  I am currently in my final year at Western Michigan University, where I am studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling to earn my Limited Licensed Counselor certification.

I completed my undergrad with a major in psychology and minor in early childhood education at Grand Valley State University. I have always felt called to support and care for others and I’m passionate about working with children and families.

I currently work as a Behavior Technician providing Applied Behavior Analysis services to children with autism. My favorite part about the job is creating a connection with each client and watching them grow. I appreciate the uniqueness of each child I work with, as well as recognize the dynamic background they each come from.

Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters and spending quality time with my family. I look forward to learning, growing, and supporting the wonderful children and families I have the privilege of meeting.
