"Seeing my clients reach success and meet their personal goals is immensely satisfying. Having the opportunity to learn from my clients about who they are and what I can do to help them achieve those goals is very gratifying. Many of my clients learn to trust, which takes a lot of time and effort. When I accomplish that trust with a client, it is the most enriching part of my work as a Mental Health Counselor. The most motivating part of my work is when I witness my clients apply new and positive coping mechanisms to their lives and find fulfillment through what we learned together."

"I believe that I will get the most satisfaction when I see even the smallest improvements in my client. What I have learned in school and through my internship is that it is often challenging to reach improvements, especially when we are working to change mindset and behavior. For that reason, I will work hard to recognize every small step as a success because the smallest steps accumulate over time, and can amount to big change."
