What's one thing you're currently learning that excites you?
I very recently came across a counseling degree at a small school around me that I never knew was a program they had. And learning more and more about it excites me because it is basically my dream idea for this graduate degree offered by 3 other universities in the city that I had researched and decided to go ahead with the MSW route to becoming a therapist. But discovering this program and learning more about the uniqueness of it that is so appealing has caused a bit of excitement and now is a complete possible choice for grad school besides the MSW. It is longer than almost every other university's program for clinical mental health counseling. It includes a lot more with spirituality and is very unique with its array of required and elective psychoanalytic courses which is my favorite area. Modern programs don't really offer psychoanalytic focused courses at all anymore. I have come across one clinical mental health counseling program in another state that has one class required on psychodynamic psychotherapy. I feel like my daydreams have come to reality. It may take 2 years longer than it would to earn an MSW, but it really may be worth it. I've been friends with a professor of theology at this old very forward-thinking seminary for years and she never mentioned they had a counseling school. Plus, it has another very unique feature nobody else has making practicum, internships, and even the post graduate work to get a full license doable completely at their own counseling center. It is unnecessarily expensive, but I managed to get a meeting with an admissions advisor next week. I don't understand why this doesn't show up in a google search with the other universities in the city offering the program. And they boast that 95% of graduates find employment immediately.
