Mental Health Counselor

June - September 2023 • Dedham, MA

What I liked

I liked that I was given a lot of responsibility and hands on direct clinical experience.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more training/support when going into a job that was so high acuity. However, the chance to have such a high responsibility gave me a lot of personal development and experience.

Advice

Stay confident in yourself, just treat others how you would want your loved ones to be treated. You dont have to know it all just stay empathic, curious, and take care of your own needs and you will make a huge difference because this is about human connection. The only way you can mess up is to stay quiet and in the background when you are afraid to mess up so just trust your gut, make mistakes, be kind to yourself, and learn.
