Dr. Chalice C. Rhodes, Ph.D., LPC, NCC, BC-TMH

Dr. Chalice C. Rhodes is a Licensed Professional Trauma, Christian, and Apostolic-Prophetic Counselor with over 27 years of integrated experience in human services, professional counseling, and higher education. She is the visionary founder of The Wellness Path Collaborative®, The Wellness Path Group Therapy Collective®, and The Wellness Path Living Water Women’s Wellness Retreat®—a holistic healing movement integrating mind, body, and spirit through Scripture, clinical science, and prophetic insight.

She is the author of The Wellness Path: Nurturing Your Body, Soul, and Spirit with Faith and Practice and The Wellness Path Revealed: God’s Blueprint for Wholeness – Body, Soul, and Spirit™, a comprehensive training manual and theological-clinical framework designed to equip counselors, clinicians, clergy, and faith-based leaders to steward trauma-informed, Holy Spirit-led healing with excellence and integrity.

The name Chalice means cup—a sacred vessel—and this meaning prophetically reflects Dr. Rhodes’s life and calling. Throughout Scripture, the cup symbolizes suffering, purification, surrender, and blessing. These themes shape her personal testimony and professional mission.

A two-time breast cancer survivor, Dr. Rhodes walked through lumpectomy, radiation, and ultimately a double mastectomy with reconstruction. What began as physical suffering became prophetic refinement. Through her own healing journey, she came to understand that restoration of the body must be accompanied by healing of the soul and alignment of the spirit. This revelation birthed The Wellness Path®, a blueprint for wholeness that guides others from survival to sanctification.

As a Certified Psychosocial Cancer/Oncology Behavioral Health Specialist, Dr. Rhodes serves individuals and families impacted by cancer with compassion, dignity, and faith-centered clinical care. She has partnered with national advocacy organizations including Susan G. Komen, Unite for HER, Tigerlily Foundation, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, For the Breast of Us, Byrd Cancer Foundation, Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, and the American Cancer Society.

Dr. Rhodes is also the founder and host of Talk the Wellness Tea with Dr. Chalice®, a media platform dedicated to honest, healing conversations at the intersection of mental health, physical wellness, faith, and justice. As a sought-after keynote speaker and DEIB trainer, she equips institutions and communities to address trauma, equity, and systemic healing through a trauma-informed and biblically grounded lens.

She holds a B.A. in Psychology from Rowan University, an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University Atlanta, and a Ph.D. in Human Services (Counseling Studies) from Capella University. A Board-Certified TeleMental Health Provider, Dr. Rhodes delivers accessible, high-quality virtual care across multiple states.

Above all, Dr. Rhodes believes wholeness is not merely recovery—it is divine alignment. Her life’s work reflects one enduring truth: what the fire refines, the Holy Spirit fills.
