I have a passion for helping people, and I felt that pursuing a career in counseling was the best possible way I could do that. Through my classes and everything I’ve learned from my instructors at WSC, this belief has been solidified and I am reassured that I have chosen the right career path. The professors in this program are my favorite part. They have so much knowledge and are so friendly and personable. It’s a very positive environment that promotes growth.
