...Mental Health Counseling The reason I chose to obtain a MS in Mental Health Counseling is because I have already obtained a MS in Criminal Justice and learned why individuals commit crimes and the different theorist that have studied to criminal mind to try to find an answer to this age old questions, why do individuals commit crimes? Which many has come to conclusions but the end results is many have been incarcerated when they needed medical attention. I have obtain many reasons as to why individuals commit crime but I want to get to point of knowing what influenences are there are mental health issues one of the reasons why our prison system is being overflowed and are these individuals being overlooked. These factors motivates me as an individual which I believe will prepare me to become a competent counselor. I feel as though we are not in the individuals life to judge but to motivate, to achieve a common goal of seeking and resolving a issues/problem that he/she is conflicted with. I intend continue to grow within the counseling field by continuing to research issues that effect society today, such as mental health and seeking solutions for these individuals to be able to live normal lives without the ridicule or label. Being able to write about mental issues and ways to resolve it is a lifelong dream but I feel as though with any profession comes experience and the more experience one has the more knowledgeable one becomes and it is at this point that I feel as though...

...to the scene of both the campus shooting and the family auto accident may be Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS). STS presents itself much like PTSD and is caused by viewing others suffer trauma (Baird & Kracen, 2006). The first responders at both trauma sites can be effected greatly even if only at the scene for a short time. According to Baird & Kracen (2006) "the precipitating experience(s) of the helper can be of quite short duration" (p. 182). Counselors Role in Treating the Survivors and First Responders I believe that the counselors who treat the survivors of both these traumatic situations would have to approach them much differently. With survivors of the campus shooting, a counselor may work to get them through the initial shock of their experience. The...

...Online Therapy The new millennium brought on tremendous changes through the internet. Information is accessible easily online along with numerous services. The Human Services realm has begun to offer services via internet. Services offered by online counseling are for anger management, depression, child hood, trauma and HIV and AIDS. In this thesis I will discuss the services provided by each site, the experts the form of communication used through the online services and regulations or guidelines that each must adhere to. The three online services I decided to use were Ericka Russina, MA, LPC, NCC; Serenity Online Therapy and Sunrise Therapy. Each website offers a synopsis of the services provided, the provider and background information. The http://www.licensedcounselor.com/onlinetx3.html website which is for Erica Russina provides services via internet and in the office. The website states “Online therapy may serve as a bridge to overcoming these barriers for those who may be deaf, ill, live in remote areas with few resources, are afraid of the "stigma",” (Rusina, 2012). However the site also mentions that an individual is experiencing an actual crisis to contact the local emergency agency. The prospective client can review the website, check the counselor’s credentials, rates and fees, and determine if the services provided are needed. Once the decision has been made the individual can then agree to the online therapy review the disclaimer, submit the request for therapy...

...The student is a licensed clinical social worker. Currently, she works at a psychiatric hospital where she assess patients and refers them to the proper units or facilities in which they may receive treatment. This paper helps the student to understand the role she will play in the church community as a pastoral counselor. She will seek to identify ethical boundaries, Paradigm for Identity and Ethical Boundaries, future partnerships, and pre-counseling paperwork. Paradigm for Identity and Ethical Boundaries Paramount in any ministry is the need to adhere to a biblical code of ethics and the standards set forth; that is, a minimal standard that identifies oneself as a competent and trustworthy Christian worker. These standards are largely found within the context and framework of the Bible. As a biblical counselor or pastoral counselor it is important that one adheres to the word of God and recognizes the importance to maintain ethics and boundaries. This is to ensure that the worker is not operating according to their own flesh, but by the will and purpose of God. However, this is not a goal one can obtain on their own. In order to successfully do this one has to be connected to the Vine, in good fellowship with God, and listening for His voice when working with counselees. Trull and Carter (1993/2004) present the following items as essential boundaries for the establishment of this student-counselor’s biblical professional paradigm: 1. Education – The pastor will prepare...

... 2014 Ethics and Tarvydas Model 1. The counselor receives an intake for an attending physician, whom has worked with the agency in the past. This intake call is inquiring on a personal matter regarding his 17 year old daughter with an eating disorder / exhibited symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It is relayed during the call; the physician will continue the medication management portion of treatment, while the agency provides counseling services. It was presented during the intake he was concern with being well-known doctor that would like to keep this information private from others and would like to pay cash for service. Phase 1: The counselor is aware of the physician’s rights to keep his daughters condition private, however providing medication to a family member is cause for concern when there may not have been a proper assessment completed or if it is not being documented properly. The influence the medication can influence the process of therapy; especially when there may be no medical documentation of initial symptoms can cause various problems with treatment. It is important in determining if there is medical documentation supporting the diagnosis/medication and what types of tools were used in determining those findings. Determine why she was not referred to an agency earlier, and why is it in the best interest for the physician to continue medication when the counselor would be capable of doing the same. Phase 2: These concerning factors are...

...pastoral counseling strategy such as its goal-orientation; brief (i.e., number of sessions) and time-limited (i.e., length of each session) nature; basic tenets and guiding assumptions (briefly explain each tenet and assumption), essential interpersonal skills, and possible behavioral positions (i.e., attending, blaming, willing). The goal-orientation for the short-term pastoral counseling should be to get the counselee to focus on their own goals that they have for themselves, and not so much what others or the counselor has for them. The class presentation, Overview of a Solution-Based, Short-Term Strategy, presents that you should limit the counseling to four sessions of either 50, 60, or 90 minutes. These limits fit well within the examples that Kollar gives throughout chapters 8 through 11. Phase 1 – Getting the Present Story The main purpose of this phase is to intently listen to the counselee and gain a solid understanding of where they are coming from. The goal is for the counselor is to actively listen to the counselee. “Active listening mirrors or paraphrases back to the speaker what he has just said, thus confirming for the speaker that he has been heard.” (Kollar, 2011, p. 92) The chief aim to this counseling session is to develop an overall solid picture of the present state of where the counselee is coming from. The counselor’s role in this phase is as a listener and confidant, allowing the counselee to hear their own voice and unload any initial emotional...

...Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention and Brief Therapy Brandon Carpenter Liberty Theological Seminary Abstract The paper discusses the brief counseling approach to crisis intervention as utilized by the author. After a crisis is defined and determined, the author uses a short-term counseling methodology adapted from the ABC model as introduced in Kristi Kanal’s text. The counseling pedagogy blends the elements of the ABC model with biblical principles which may be used by the Christian counselor for the purpose of short-term crisis management. A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention and Brief Counseling Every believer in Jesus Christ is called to a ministry of encouraging and helping others, especially to other brothers and sisters in the faith whose lives have been encroached upon by a crisis. Many times the abundant life that was promised by Jesus is disrupted when a crisis presents itself. Although every believer can experience the joy of their salvation through the ministry of the Holy Spirit which inwardly resides in them, Christians are not exempt from the distress and vulnerability that crises are capable of producing. Counseling, which is bathed in prayer and which appropriately uses and applies the Word of God, is an essential responsibility of Christian life and fellowship. Moreover, various intervention models and presuppositions are available for the Christian...

...Clients’ Preferences Regarding Prayer As A Counseling Intervention Angela Whitworth Liberty University Summary Spirituality is becoming an important consideration in counseling for the client and for the mental health practitioners. Spiritual interventions, such as prayer, are being used more in the counseling sessions. With 80% of the United States population believing in God and the power of prayer, it is not surprising that many clients want religion and/or spirituality included in their counseling sessions. Some practitioners believe that it is appropriate to pray with their clients, but most providers believe that it is inappropriate. Currently, research is lacking in client expectations with regards to prayer being included in counseling. This study particularly surveyed Christian clients and their therapists. The therapists were chosen because they advertised themselves as Christian counselors. Two instruments were created, Prayer Survey and the Brief Therapist Prayer Survey. The Prayer Survey was for the client to complete to assist in determining their preference in regards to prayer to in counseling. The Brief Therapist Survey was used to find out about beliefs and prayer practices of the therapists. The therapist survey was also used to help determine if therapist factors are related to their client expectations. The study found that eighty-two percent of clients wished to have audible prayer in their counseling sessions. Those that were less likely to want...

...Professional Counselors Fall Quarter 2013 Abstract Inside the draft includes an evaluation of two supervision models for mental health. The benefits of a supervisor and a supervisee are narrated during the training process and once the training process is completed. The ethical importance of clinical supervision is defined and supported in the draft. Consultation and advocacy are both defined for the field of counseling as well as compared and contrasted for the mental health specialization. One can relate the role of advocacy and consultation as she becomes a professional counselor within mental health. Institutional and social barriers that might impede or hinder the access and equity of success for ones clients is also discussed. In addition, strategies are deliberated that one can utilize in their work to address multicultural issues and advocate for diverse populations. Lastly, one develops a hypothetical example of consultation for a couple. Clinical Supervision According to Milne and Oliver (2000), “clinical supervision is central to initial professional training and to continuing professional development, taking up a significant proportion of mental health professionals’ time” (p. 291). An integrated approach to supervision has been developed by combining the developmental model of Littrell, Lee-Borden, and Lorenz (1979) and Bernard's (1979, 1997) discrimination model. Littrell et al. (1979), developmental model describes how supervisors foster change and...
