Summary
I have recently graduate from the University of South Carolina's CACREP accredited Counselor Education Ed.S. program. I am looking for a LPC-A position that allows me to use my experience working with adolescents and young adults to treat presenting problems like depression, anxiety, and PTSD from a CBT lens. My academic success in the graduate level coursework and professional experience gained in the program prove that I am able to meet the expectations required of a LPC-A in a clinical mental health setting.
