THE MENTOR’S MISSION
The mission of The Counselors Mentor is to guide and encourage developing counselors through each step of their professional experience, from grad school to private practice. This space is for mental health professionals who are passionate but feel stuck in the “in between.” My goal is to mentor and inspire developing mental health professionals to be competent, effective and educated in the counseling field. The tips are straight from me, Sarah Rivera, a mental health group practice owner and supervisor who had to learn the hard way about getting through internship, supervision, employment and launching a private practice.
