October 02, 2024 A Parasitic Ideology is Harming Children & Hijacking Mental Health- an Interview with Olga Reinholdt
About Olga: My name is Olga Reinholdt; I received a Master of Science in
Psychology in Moscow, Russia. In America, I have received ICF PCC
credentials in life coaching and have had a private mental-health
coaching practice combining educational and consulting services in
Psychology and coaching. I saw becoming a licensed counselor as
advancing my skills and career opportunities, and I enrolled in a CACREP
program.
During this program and after talking to many people on the receiving
end of Licensed Counseling, I realized that the CACREP curriculum was a
pale shadow of therapy and practice of mental-health support. And that
the way Counseling service is rendered is especially damaging to
children, who are often mandated to see a Counselor.
After realizing how distant Counseling is from my values and
aspirations, I quit the program to continue practice as a mental health
coach, to promote the wellbeing of children within their families, and
to enable parents to be effective support for their children's mental
health.
