When developing treatment plans as a Mental Health Counselor, I take an individualized approach tailored to each client's unique needs. I collaborate with clients to set achievable goals and continuously assess their progress to make necessary adjustments.

In working with a challenging client, I focused on understanding the underlying reasons for their behavior. I emphasized building trust while using reflective listening and validation, which ultimately led to a breakthrough in our therapeutic relationship.

I stay informed about current trends and best practices in mental health counseling through continuous education, attending workshops and webinars, engaging with professional communities, and reading relevant research articles to enhance my skills.

I believe my strongest skill as a Mental Health Counselor is my ability to connect with clients on a personal level, allowing them to feel understood and safe. This foundation builds trust and encourages client engagement in the therapeutic process.
