      Entry Level Example

      "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."

      Answer Example

      "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."
