Biography

Hi. I'm Ken McCurdy. I am an associate professor of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Gannon University. Gannon is located in the heart of downtown Erie Pennsylvania, right on the lake (well, about 1/2 mile from it). One of the reasons I love Erie is the variety of activities that can be done in this four season’s climate of northwestern Pennsylvania. Erie is a great place to live and enjoy life!

Currently, I am a faculty member in our nationally accredited counselor education program.  We are a small program that does some great things. What makes us stand apart from other counseling programs is our focus on wellness and reflective learning. We prepare clinically competent general counseling practitioners to work with young people, adults, couples, and families in various counseling and mental health settings. 
 

My research interests focus on:

• Professional Identity in Counseling 
• Juvenile Firesetting
• Counselor Education and Supervision 
• Adlerian / Individual Psychology
• Children’s Mental Health & Play Therapy
• Family & Couples Counseling
• Ethical and Legal Issues in Counseling
• Crisis and Disaster Counseling
   

My wife, Debbie, works at a large insurance company as a corporate accountant. Who says opposites don’t attract? Together with our two children, two ferrets, friends and relatives, we enjoy everything that Erie has to offer. In my spare time, I love to sail in the bay and on Lake Erie on our sailboat. I can be found most Sundays and Wednesdays during the summer racing sailboats in the Erie Yacht Club Racing Fleet. I am an avid hunter when the boat is out of the water.  Oh, and did I mention that I love the Pittsburg STEELERS! 

I was born and raised in Erie but I have lived throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio before returning home in 2003. Who knows what the future holds but for now, Erie and Gannon are HOME.
