Overview:

The role of professional counseling has become increasingly important as an effective source of personal assistance in dealing with a myriad of problems in a complex society. The counseling profession is alive with ideas and techniques based on developmental and behavioral theory and has established a rightful place among the helping professions. Counseling has a serious contribution to make toward the psychological, social, and physical well-being of members of the community. We welcome the interest and inquiry of persons who feel a dedication to helping others and who will commit to serious study of the theory, techniques, and related course work on which professional counseling practice is based.
