Ashleigh Kerlin ALCA 9 Blog 1
Mood:  energetic
Topic: Being in Grad school

Hello there, my name is Ashleigh Kerlin and I am a graduate student at Troy University. I am in my third semester and second year of the Community Counseling program. My journey through graduate school has been quite a crazy ride! I don’t think my first year, in the counseling program, would have been so implicitly successful without the help and direction of my extraordinary professors, fellow classmates, friends, and family. This journey continues to show me new insights on self-awareness and dealing with others.

Upon graduation I hope to obtain a position working with children, adolescents, and their families. I also intend to work towards obtaining my Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) certification. I believe in the discipline of counseling in that I am willing to be there for the individual and listen and help. I think the techniques and process that counseling offers will continue to grow and develop innovative strategies to accommodate every population.

I hope to utilize the ALCA blog to help inform students about the counseling program and offer a few tips on how to not freak out! If I hear of any useful therapeutic news I will blog about it. If I come across any useful books, comments, stories, thoughts, tools, workshops, web sites and so on, I share it. I will also keep you informed about what the ALCA has going on.

SEE YOU AT THE ETHICS WORKSHOP AT TROY UNIVERISY
