    I would like to be able to help them visualize opportunities to improve their current and future outcomes. I would also like to provide them with insight of how their past has created who they are and although it may have created great angst within them, it has given skills and awareness to create a better future. I believe there is no specific method or theory for helping a client meet their goals. Each client is a unique individual that will have their own specific needs. It is important to look towards our clients and create an atmosphere that will make them successful rather than choose a theory that works best for the helper.…

    Many people believe that mentally ill is something you became rather than something you are from the beginning; the idea that children may suffer from a mental illness must mean that something terrible has happened to speed a younger person toward this because it could not have been there all along. But if we recognize that mental illness is something that can affect a person at any age, even without any distinguishable trauma or environmental trigger, might we be able steer a child toward health just as piano lessons can steer a child toward skill? In exploring this idea and some of the challenges facing child mental health, I spoke with Carnation Elementary School counselor, Leanna Koenigs I asked Ms. Koenigs what her expectations were going into mental health.…

Professional boundaries/roles on the therapist behalf is to be explicitly stated before the therapy is in session.

Some important characteristics that a good counselor should have is the willingness to listen, to provide encouragement, to be empathetic, to be nonjudgmental, to have patience, and to most of all uphold the promise to keep things confidential unless that client is at risk for harming themselves as well as others.…
