Masters Portfolio

Each student is encouraged to develop and maintain a portfolio throughout his or her program. Contents of the portfolio will be up to the students but examples of content to consider include:

  1. Paper describing the student's initial steps toward developing a personal counseling approach. The paper should include, at a minimum, a description of the following:
    • View of human nature
    • Why people seek help and a view of dysfunctional living
    • Goals of counseling
    • The change process/how do people change?
    • The counselor/client relationship
    • Counselor and client roles and functions during the counseling process
    • Counseling interventions/strategies/techniques to achieve counseling goals

    The first draft of such a paper will be completed during the final two weeks of Counseling Theory class. The paper is expected to be updated, as the student deems appropriate. Experience in practicum and internship as well as other life experiences should contribute to the ongoing process of developing one's counseling approach.
