January 19, 2016As a student under Dr. Cooper-Lewter I was provided an insightful and in-depth look into clinical practice and was provided with a wealth of study materials that proved helpful in testing for the MSW Licensure exam. I passed it the FIRST time I took it, using materials from his class!

January 17, 2016I attended Dr. Nick's "Overcoming the Odds and beyond" class during my study year abroad in South Carolina. The content of the class was far different from what I expected but it was above all surprisingly interesting. I was eager to attend every class as I knew that I was going to learn something new every time. Dr. Nick is a very inspiring teacher who gave me motivation to accomplish my goals. He is also keen to learn from his students and never misses an opportunity to learn and grow.

He has a unique set of skills that enables him to create rapport quickly with his clients and he builds a deep level of sincere trust that allows those clients to share openly with him. After getting to the "soul" of his clients, he is able to then help them process through various layers to get them to become their best self. Doc is a special person who truly makes a positive difference in the lives of those he works with.

Rev. Dr. Nicholas Cooper-Lewter
MSW, LISW-CP, ACSW
Reverend Dr. Nicholas Cooper-Lewter holds a Master of Social Work degree and a Ph.D. in Psychology. He has studied at the Ecumenical Center for Black Church Studies in Claremont, California under H.H. Mitchell, Th.D. and is a supervising Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist. Not only is he a grandmaster and teacher of martial arts, but Dr. Cooper-Lewter personally developed an Asian-African American Martial Art style of Kung Fu.
He “coaches hearts to empower minds” to embrace their God-given potential. His clients and many former students agree that “when the unspoken must be spoken & the unknown must be known,” Rev. Dr. Cooper-Lewter is the one to trust. He conducts therapist trainings, he works with athletes at all levels and in all sports to overcome the odds to optimize personal achievement on and off the field, and he assists in the development of Rites of Passage programs for youth. Honoring his African, Native American and European ancestry Dr. Cooper-Lewter recommends recapturing the ancient healing folk/spiritual values and practices of “Soul Therapy.”
Throughout his four-decade career as a licensed psychotherapist, life coach, mental trainer, optimum performance professional and sports psychology expert, Dr. Cooper-Lewter has served as a senior pastor, tenured full professor, visiting full professor, distinguished lecturer, chaplain resource (mentor), workshop facilitator, and a motivational speaker. He served as a commissioner on the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference, Inc. Katrina National Justice Commission and as a consultant; he has worked with universities, seminaries, churches, agencies, foundations, and institutes around the world. Dr. Cooper-Lewter is called the “Inmate Whisperer” by Capital Trial Attorneys because of his ability to facilitate inmates sharing difficult psychosocial histories. In 2012, he was chosen to be on the cover of the Carolinian magazine, which was the inaugural issue of the University of South Carolina’s “No Limits” branding effort. The Carolinian’s featured story gave him a new nickname: the “Soul Whisperer."
