Psychology

Class of 1983

Bagwell, Mary Kate
I worked in apartment management for 2 years after graduating from Furman, then moved to Atlanta, Georgia to work at a residential treatment facility for adolescents and to complete my Master's degree in Community Counseling at Georgia State University. I went on to get licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia in 1991, and went back to Georgia State to complete my Ph.D. in Counseling, completing this degree in 1996. I now work as a full-time faculty member at Argosy University, Atlanta in the Professional Counseling Department (which provides a M.A. degree in Professional Counseling) and as a LPC in private practice.

I married Don Reese in 1995, and we have one daughter, Cassie, who was born in 1998. Our family also includes 2 Golden Retrievers and we are involved as a foster home for Adopt-A- Golden Atlanta, a volunteer organization that provides medical care, foster homes, and new home placements fro Golden Retrievers who are turned in by owners or rescued from shelters.

When I left Greenville in 1985 to come to Atlanta for a job and a Master's degree, I thought at the time that I would only be gone for 2 years and then would be back in Greenville....but Atlanta somehow became home and I never moved back!
