THE MENTOR’S MISSION
The Mission of The Counselors Mentor is to offer guidance for developing counselors throughout each step and every step of their professional development. This space is meant for any professional passionate about being in the mental health field but finds themself in the “in between.” The goal of this site is to prompt individuals to make active steps to advance their career in the counseling field. The words are from me, Sarah Rivera, a mental health group practice owner and supervisor who had to learn things the hard way about getting through internship, supervision, employment and private practice.
