"Years ago, I complete a diploma in Child and Youth Care, which allowed me to break into this line of work as a Youth Worker. Over the years, I continued to add certifications to my resume related to addictions, group counseling, talk therapy, mindfulness, and CBT therapy. I also completed my SMART Recovery Program certification, allowing me to facilitate 12-step recovery training. I have a degree in Psychology, which I completed two years ago. After completing my Psychology degree, I started my master's in Counseling, which I focus on in the evenings and weekends. I expect to graduate with my masters' in three months. Throughout all of these educational opportunities, CBT therapy was where I excelled the most. I am especially strong when it comes to opening conversations that are dynamic, encouraging, and helpful. I believe this is because of my non-judgemental, warm, and compassionate nature, which are teachable qualities; however, they have to surface naturally at the same time. Since your organization focuses heavily on CBT therapy techniques such as exposure therapy and social skills training, I am especially excited to work here where I know my credentials will shine."

"First, I achieved my diploma in counseling. I learned a wide range of therapeutic techniques available to Mental Health Counselors such as CBT, reality therapy, and narrative therapy. I also excelled in mindfulness coaching, where the client pays keen attention to their feelings and thoughts, in the moment. Next, I moved on to achieve my degree in Psychology. While expanding my education, I devoted many volunteer hours to the women's shelter. There, I worked with amazing professionals who helped me to grow my expertise in intervention counseling. Now, thanks to my broad education, I would say that my greatest strength is in a unique blend of mindfulness and intervention counseling. I believe my approach will be an excellent fit with the cognitive-behavioral techniques in which your facility focuses."
