Clinical mental health counseling
Anyone here go to LU or LUO for mental health counseling? I'm currently a sophomore and I'm working on my BA in Christian counseling. I'm wanting to get my LPC, and maybe even go for my doctorate in traumaology.
My goal is to start a practice and a ministry to be able to help others with their mental health as well as their spiritual health. I want to be able to help anyone who needs help. Like have you ever been going through the worst parts of life and needed help from a professional, but every professional you found turned you away bc they either didn't take your insurance or they cost 200 up front? Well that happened to me. I even told the lady I was gonna go meet Jesus early myself and put her name in the letter I was gonna write and she just said, well if you don't have 200 dollars I can't help ya. Long long story shortish, I needed help and I couldn't find any when I asked for it. I don't want that happening to others. They shouldn't have to feel like their only way out of mental health and spiritual health problems is death.
I want to help families, kids, marriages, couples, individuals, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, etc.
So anyone ever go this route through LU or LUO? What advice could you give me?
