Graduate Programs in Social Sciences & Counseling

The process of counseling requires the development of a trusting relationship between the client and practitioner in which the client learns new and different ways to cope with life’s dilemmas and problems. As such, its interactive relationship requires both the client and the practitioner to engage in meaningful dialogue, dedicated to problem solving.

Consequently, counseling is among the most personally fulfilling, while also among the most emotionally demanding, professions. The stressors placed on the counseling professional require a high degree of self-awareness, ethical integrity and an ongoing responsibility to develop both intellectually and emotionally from one’s life experiences.
