I have chosen to enter the field of Mental Health Counseling at this particular time in my life because I would like to learn the skills needed to help people with their life and mental health issues.

The courses I took focused on business, biology, social work, and psychology. After graduation I decided to take a year off and gain work experience in customer service and health care. I wanted to experience working with the people in my community. I was hired as a pharmacy technician at a Walgreens in Vernon. Working as a pharmacy technician has been a very rewarding experience for me and I learned a lot about people and their unique needs. I also learned about patient care and how to be pacient and understanding under stressful situations.

It would be important to meet with the Frank and Emily to encourage the parents to think about their plans for their family (Siegel & Hartzell, 2003). This could involve encouraging Emily and Frank to think and talk about where they would like their family to be in the next couple of years, or even the next couple of months. The therapist would also encourage the parents to think about if they would like to see themselves to have another baby. The therapist would get Frank and Emily to talk about what their lives would look like having a baby and/or not having another child. The therapist would also encourage the parents to talk about their desires with their children, so the children would communicate their desires to their parents (Siegel & Hartzell,

The National Board for Certified Counselors began in1983. This examination was intended to assess knowledge of counseling information and skills. I will describe the test and its usefulness. My purpose is to evaluation the extent to which the NCE fulfills primary psychometric criteria. Comprehensive understanding of the NCE is necessary in order to pass the NCE.

In the sleep diary participants would note the time they got into bed, how long it took them to fall asleep, the number and duration of awakenings during the night, what time they awoke, and what time they got out of bed. Misinformation or false memory was evaluated in a few different phases. In the first phase the participants took part in a
