In this episode of the Student Counselor Podcast, I spoke with graduate student Kelsey from Arkansas, who shares her journey from a successful career in business administration, information systems, and technology to pursuing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Kelsey discusses her educational background, her shift in career focus driven by a fascination with human behavior, and her internship experiences. She highlights the challenges of balancing work, studies, and personal life, especially dealing with family crises. Kelsey also talks about the rewarding aspects of being a student therapist, her aspirations post-graduation, and how she plans to manage a future private practice alongside her consulting business.
