When I was preparing to start my graduate program in clinical mental health counseling, I was overthinking everything and had numerous questions. I didn’t have anyone to turn to who had experienced what I was about to go through. I wanted someone to whom I could ask questions and seek advice; someone who understood what it was like to be in my position. I created Dear Counselors in Training to provide you with the support I wished I had when I began this journey.
