This is great information!! Thanks so much for sharing. I am actually looking to pivot into counseling and hopefully get accepted to this program. I really enjoy that this isn’t a hustle and bustle situation. I live in New York City and manage a Mental Health Facility. I have a tight schedule, and do better with self or paced learning. In the fall I am going for my CASAC ( Additional Counselor) certificate to get counseling experience. Thanks for your amazing advice!!
I would also add that if you are in an online program, remember to save your paperwork as the topics seem to loop and things you talk about one course will come up again and you can use your material, the material you’ve already researched to complete other assignments. it helped me a lot. Keep up the hard work.
I started the same program in January and had the same thoughts, thank you SO MUCH for sharing! I love and agree about the passion for becoming a therapist. A privilege of the wealthy to go to a more involved program. I am also paying for all through loans and out of pocket and I'm grateful that a school like Capella exists too, but the involved is also a privilege I don't have on my own. I hope you post future videos!! I'm excited to see how the program goes.
I’m finishing up an online graduate program in clinical health mental counseling as well. I will say that I shared some of the same experience. What I’ve sent understood is the real learning comes during your internship and practicum if your program requires that.
