A review of the cases by the West Virginia Board of Examiners in Counseling (2017), relating to “disciplinary actions,” “case decisions,” and “actions taken by the board” depicted numerous licensure board actions against professional counselors.

ESSAY #1 As of this point in the semester I noticed how a Counselor should fully understand what they are doing in the professional and personal aspect of their job. If a Counselor has the wrong mindset or was poorly trained to help others it can damage a client more than what they initially came in with. Not only do the clients get hurt, but also the Counselor themselves can suffer from damage as well. For example, if the Counselor has the mindset that they are going to help solve the problems of other people the Counselor will in effect become mentally drained, potentially physically drained, possible prideful, and left with a sense of helplessness. The Counselor will take matters into their own hands and become personal rescuers.
