The Session: How to be the next Tom!

Our verses:  Ps. 32:8  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.  I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

Matt. 6:33  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

II Cor. 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.  The old has passed away, behold the new has come.

What kind of temperament/personality should a Christian counselor have?

Should you be married?  Does that have an impact?

What education do you need?  Should you go only to a Christian college?  How long will you be in school?

What legal/state/local licenses or certifications do you have to have to practice?

Is it better to work for someone else, or start your own practice like you did with Heritage?

How do you determine what “kind” of counseling you do?  Should you “specialize” in a particular area, like family, substance abuse, children, divorce, or some other area?

What brings you the biggest joy at Heritage?

What has been your biggest challenge?

What role do you think the rise in social media or media in general has had on your profession?  On the mental health of Americans, specifically our kids?
