COUN-5902: Foundational Counseling Skills

The focus of the course is on the acquisition and practice of foundational counseling skills. The course includes both didactic and experiential formats and is designed to be a first opportunity to try out new skills. Methods will include dyadic role plays, in which students take turns assuming roles of both “counselor” and “client,” and self-reflective exercises. Students will explore the interpersonal dynamics of the helping relationship and develop self-in-role skills, such as self-reflection and meaning-making. CMHC Residency is a week long face to face experiential component that supplements the course if taken online.
