Professional Goal Statement
I plan on becoming a Mental Health Counselor in the state of Alabama after obtain-
ing my Masters Degree of Professional Counseling through Grand Canyon Univer-
sity. After completion of Masters Degree, I plan to obtain a NCE Licensure as well
as an ALC/LPC Licensure in the state of Alabama. Methods of practice that I plan
to implement would be Dialectic Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Ther-
apy as well as incorporate an eclectic style therapy that combines several different
practices in order to best suit the particular client.
