Join Dr. Holmes as she interviews Dr. Mark Crear on the importance of cultural humility and establishing trust and rapport when working with the African/Afro-American population. Dr. Crear will explain a bit of the history of mistrust of helping agencies from this population as well as discuss bias that well-meaning professionals may have. Dr. Crear will share with clinicians and educators some pointers on how to develop cultural competency and build trust to partner with this community for best practices.  

Rev. Mark Crear, Ph.D., is a dynamic man who is no stranger to exceeding physical challenges at high levels as well as excelling within and helping to transform academic institutions. As a two-time Olympic medalist and athlete (110 Meter Hurdles), Mark understands the importance of hard work, perseverance, and focus. These attributes have helped him as a mental health educator, published author, and all the other professional hats that Dr. Crear wears. Getting his Ph.D. from Alliant International University in Clinical Psychology, graduating from the University of Southern California with a master’s degree in counseling psychology and a bachelor’s degree in sociology, calling Dr. Crear an academic would be an understatement. On top of his impressive intellectual prowess, Dr. Mark is a therapist, coach, consultant, and motivational speaker. He has over 15 years of training, counseling, and coaching experience in many different areas; they include multicultural competency, diversity & inclusion, racial reconciliation and life, relationship, and organizational & performance. As if he weren’t doing enough already, Dr. Crear is currently the executive director of the American Association of Christian Counselors’ Multicultural division and adjunct professor of psychology at Houston Baptist University. What’s Dr. Crear’s greatest achievement? It wasn’t his role as founding principal of In the Zone Coaching, Counseling, and Consulting group, or his role as a traveling minister, speaking to both corporations and churches, but instead as loving husband and doting father.
