What attracted you to the Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) Program at WVWC? Jen was highly recommended by counselors in the area, so a program run by her would be great to attend.

What do you like most about the CMHC Program? The community that Jen and Ariel have built around this program. Every single person involved in the program (students, faculty, staff, etc.) have a passion for counseling and are genuinely kind, caring, and loving people.

Why do you want to go into the counseling field? At first, it was because I didn’t want people to feel how I did. Now, I understand the impact I can have on others’ lives and the community as a whole.
