As I have learned since I started the masters is that an effective therapist must always be present, responsive, creative, empathetic, acceptance, flexible and many more.

All these characteristics help the therapist from a good alliance with the client. Where the client can feel safe to express their problems to the counselor. We all have…

As my internship come to a close, I cannot help but reflect on what a bittersweet moment it is. My formal counseling education is ending and my journey towards licensure is beginning.

To a mental health counselor, the main ethical practice is to promote the clients welfare. I would say this extends to the community as well. The resources, strengths, and abilities of a community can greatly assist clients in positive changes. As a counselor, if you fail to educate your community you can be met with resistance by old opinions and viewpoints that disvalue your work. To make this change in the community you have to change the preconceived assumptions about the profession.…

hopes and dreams. All of these aspects shape the individual. One cannot endeavor to counsel and individual when one has not invested time in understanding the individual.
