CNS 6909 - Advanced Counseling Techniques

Credits: 3

This course further develops core counseling skills in effective individual counseling and marriage and family therapy that will be used during the practicum experience. Following a micro-skills approach, the course is structured around the three domains of (1) establishing relationship and exploring, (2) deepening and growing, and (3) consulting and ending. Class time will include a mix of discussion, role-play exercises, videos from master clinicians, and guest speakers who represent different therapeutic approaches. In addition, students will continue their reflection on the concept of “the counselor as a person.” (3)
