Join me in this candid and spontaneous podcast episode, where I share my thoughts and experiences during the first week of graduate school. As a new student in the LMHC program at Mercy College, I faced a whirlwind of emotions—fear, excitement, and intimidation—all at once. I delve into my initial impressions of my professors, the courses, and the vibrant community of classmates I've already connected with.
In this episode, I reflect on my journey from a 24-year career in case management to embarking on this exciting new path toward becoming a counselor or therapist. I discuss the importance of ethics in counseling, my hopes to gain a deeper understanding of ethical practices, and my dedication to applying theory to real-world situations.
I also share a bit about my personal life, including my role as a parent, my passion for professional jump roping, and my recent accomplishment of publishing my first book. Throughout the episode, I explore the essence of counseling, emphasizing its role in fostering positive change in individuals' lives.
Whether you're a fellow student, a prospective counselor, or simply curious about the journey of personal and professional growth, this episode offers insights and inspiration for all. Join me as I navigate graduate school's exciting and challenging path, to make a difference in the world of mental health counseling.
