New Counselor Success
I have been supervising counselors for 30 years on a university and private level. I have great relationships with my interns. I know the people they work for and about their personal life…not overboard with that part…I constantly hear from them even after they become licensed and we talk about challenges they faced throughout the process of grad school, associate licensing and LPC. The issues I see are frequent and common…However, just because I’ve been at this for years,I still want to be able to prepare my interns for what to expect and how to sidestep pitfalls…I also want to improve at training them to be good counselors that care about their clients and success.
I’d like to know your experience…what challenges have you faced? What could your supervisor have done to help you feel confident and competent? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
