Among so many diversities of counseling, it is a plus to have a specific focus that one thrives in. My educational background was nurtured in Counseling Psychology. Counseling psychology is a specialty within professional psychology that maintains a focus on facilitating personal and interpersonal functioning throughout an individual’s life. My specialty pays particular attention to emotional, social, vocational, educational, health-related, developmental, and organizational concerns.
In addition, interventions used may be either brief or long-term; they are often problem-specific and goal-directed. These activities are guided by a philosophy that values individual differences, diversity, and a focus on prevention, development, and adjustment across the span of life.
