Begin a Rewarding Career Helping Others
Counselors understand that people are constantly evolving and need guidance during these inevitable transitions.
Everyone needs help at some point in time. Changes in careers, education, and emotional and economic transitions happen at all stages of life and counselors help people grow by offering support, therapy, consultation, teaching and evaluation.
Since it's estimated that one in four Americans is affected by mental health issues each year, counseling careers, though highly-regarded, face numerous challenges and opportunities.
