Why I became a counselor 


I worked for years as a massage therapist. Anytime a client met with me for more than three visits, I would hear their life story. I would listen quietly as they shared their personal experiences. I knew massage would help their stress temporarily; however, the source of the stress was deeper. In order to fully recover, they would have to learn new coping skills for their life situation. I knew at that time I didn’t have the tools necessary to help them see their life in a new way and make the necessary changes. 

This really hit home when one of my good friends, who was also a client, revealed that she had been raped two years previously.  I wanted to help her but didn’t know what to do. This inspired me to go back to school so I could help those like my friend.
