Get to know Psychologist Dr. Derrick Sebree Jr., who serves patients in Michigan.
New York City, New York Nov 7, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Sebree Jr. is a multicultural psychologist and social justice advocate whose work focuses on the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, and our relationship with the ecological world.
As an American Descendant of Slavery male professional, he seeks to illuminate the relationship between ecological and social justice from a multicultural, ecopsychological perspective. He views the Earth-human relationship as a parallel, interconnected process to the human-human connection, for how we view one another is a microcosm of how we view all modes of life.
In his current role, Dr. Sebree Jr. serves as the MA Program Director at the Michigan School of Psychology in Farmington Hills, working primarily with college aged young adults, adolescents, and adults.
"I feel strongly about pedagogy and teaching philosophy, harking to Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed and many other critical consciousness and liberation philosophies when teaching graduate students. I take a developmental teaching approach, with praxis in social justice and empowerment. I grew up knowing the weight of systemic oppression and being taught education is part of how you get out of that system. I want students to have access to me and my knowledge, with the hope of helping them discover their gifts, skills, strengths, and limitations as they navigate the complexity of graduate education. To me, this means promoting student's exploration and learning through narratives, experientials, and knowledge. Helping graduate students understand themselves within the context of the systems at play will help them become better clinicians and educators"
In addition to his work at the Michigan School of Psychology, Dr. Sebree Jr. is a valued member of Monarch Counseling Services, which offers outpatient psychological services to individuals, couples, and families struggling with a variety of needs.
Client-centered, Dr. Sebree Jr. emphasizes the autonomy of the client through the development of a collaborative relationship, where the client takes part in the treatment planning and course of therapy. He works with a variety of issues, including mood disorders,
racial identity, anxiety, and adjustment issues.
In regards to his educational background, Dr. Sebree Jr. earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn in 2011. Subsequently, he completed his Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Psychology at the Michigan School of Psychology in 2012. Finally, he obtained his PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the same institution in 2016. His dissertation focused on the relationship between racial identity development and connection to nature.
Since then, Dr. Sebree Jr. has conducted his clinical work in the Ann Arbor area, working with a variety of populations, with a focus on young college students and adults within the University of Michigan system. He also works with the United Methodist Church as a Ministerial Assessment Specialist, where he conducts psychological assessments for pastoral candidates going for licensure.
In his time during graduate training and prior, Dr. Sebree Jr. has worked with various social justice organizations in Detroit around food security and other environmental justice issues. Coupled with organizing group social justice community gardening events, he has an extensive background in community-oriented social justice work.
Dr. Sebree Jr. has been an active member of the Society for Humanistic Psychology, APA Division 32 since joining as a student in 2007. He has undertaken different leadership positions within the division, serving as a Member-at-Large, chair of the EcoJustice Task Force and co-chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and Membership chair for the organization.

Hanwha Aerospace apologizes over controversial hiring guidelines
Hanwha Aerospace has apologized for hiring guidelines that restricted experienced-hire applicants based on age and educational background, pledging to discipline those responsible and overhaul its recruitment process to prevent similar incidents. CEO Lee Boo-hwan issued an apology on the company website on Sunday, saying it was unacceptable to restrict applicants’ opportunities based on personal attributes. “There should never have been guidelines that could limit applicants’ opportunities based on personal factors such as education and age, which are unrelated to job performance,” Lee said. The labor ministry launched an inspection on Sept. 16 over allegations that Hanwha Aerospace had prepared and distributed guidelines specifying age ranges and universities for experienced-hire positions to human resources executives and hiring managers. Lee said the guidelines “directly violated” the company’s principles of open hiring and equal opportunity, adding that he took the matter very seriously. “This was a clear failure on our part, as incorrect guidelines were distributed to
Korea's US investment triggers 2nd wave of orders for ESS, power gear makers
Korea’s planned power infrastructure investment in the United States could generate a second wave of orders for Korean battery and power equipment makers, as surging electricity consumption from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers drives demand for energy storage systems (ESS) and grid equipment. Last week, the Korean government announced its first U.S. strategic investment project, part of a $350 billion investment package. The project worth $22.3 billion is centered on building a natural gas-fired power plant in Encinal, Texas, to meet rising electricity demand from semiconductor plants and AI data centers. The project is also expected to create additional demand for equipment needed to store, distribute and stabilize power, enabling relevant system makers to attract more orders from the world’s largest economy. ESS is one of the largest pillar under the project. Korean battery makers — LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI and SK On — identify ESS as their major revenue areas while the electric vehicle industry is stuck in a chasm. ESS can store electricity when demand is low
