Rebekah Karel
The Transition and Support Counselor. She received her Masters of Social Work with a clinical emphasis from Grand Valley State University in 2017, and has most recently been serving as a mental health therapist for refugee and immigrant youth at Bethany Christian Services. Ms. Karel has a passion for working with adolescents and families, and enjoys helping young people tackle the challenges of growing mentally, spiritually, and academically. The teenage years can be challenging for both students and parents alike, and she desires to help students grow into all that God desires for them to be. Outside of work, she participates in local community theatre, and can often be seen in various plays and musicals in the Grand Rapids area. Her favorite bible verse is Colossians 3:15, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”
