Thriving as a Counselor

Becoming a counselor takes hard work, dedication, and a ton of schooling. Most graduate programs require 20 classes be completed, which equals more than 900 hours of classroom instruction over a two year period. That's a lot of information! Some of the information presented in counselor education is essential to the field, some of it is mildly important, and some of it is not helpful as a professional. Thriving as a Counselor takes the key concepts, the things you have to know, and puts them in an easy-to-read format. You could spend hours pouring over old textbooks or tirelessly searching the internet for these important concepts. The key concepts of counseling are mixed with personal advice and heart to make the perfect desk reference for professional counselors, guide book for students, or information manual for those interested in the field.
