My professional identity is fundamentally based on my commitment to social welfare through which I achieve my purpose. Additionally, I uphold the humanistic values ​​that underpin the core philosophy of the counseling profession and uniquely distinguish counseling from other helping professions. Specifically, I support the wellness model in which optimal health is achieved through the holistic integration of mind, body, and spirit (QUOTE). Likewise, I believe that successful integration begins and ends with the advisor-client relationship; a safe, genuine and empathetic relationship is the basis of well-being and personal growth. Finally, my academic studies and experiential learning process thus far have imparted a sincere sense of pride in the counseling field; I appreciate the dedication it takes to become a counselor and have confidence in our abilities and mission as a profession. For this reason, I strive to exemplify those values ​​that promote professional competence and enhance the collective identity of the counseling profession. As expected, my professional identity will influence how I approach my work with Betty. Because I operate under a wellness paradigm, my work with Betty will be multifaceted, focusing on physical, mental, and spiritual health in favor of treatment based solely on her diagnosis. Additionally, I will focus much attention on developing a positive counselor-client relationship as I believe a supportive and nurturing environment is the foundation for successful therapeutic outcomes. Diagnosis Betty currently exhibits low mood, underlined by persistent professional, interpersonal, and emotional difficulties. Likewise, changes in appetite and sleep habits such as... middle of paper ...excessive disclosure would only reinforce Betty's pathology. Consultation Consultation in the form of supervision should occur regularly, particularly in cases where the therapist is working with trauma survivors. I will most likely experience strong feelings of worry and anger from Betty; therefore, I must immediately address any countertransference issues with a supervisor in order to maintain strong professional boundaries with Betty. Additionally, I would seek counseling regarding the specific “intoxication” effects of the drug and long-term effects on mental and physical health. As I have limited experience in the addictions field, I can only operate within my level of expertise and would definitely seek the advice of an addictions specialist or doctor should the nature of my work with Betty require more experience.,
