DEVELOP A PERSONAL THEORY
“Developing a personal theory of counseling is an essential part of the training and development of counselors and provides the basis for informed and effective counseling practice” (Spruill & Benshoff, 2000).

DEVELOP A PERSONAL THEORY
This process begins during graduate training and continues on throughout one’s professional career.

SEEK A SUPERVISOR
“. . . from within the counseling profession, from those who have educational backgrounds, clinical training, and experiences that will help extend and deepen the focus rather than alter the course of the developing counselor” (Pehrsson & Ingram, 2001).

SEEK A SUPERVISOR
Nothing will help a beginning counselor grow more than to have an expert telling you how you can improve in your methods and, consequently, grow as a counselor.
