This gives me an advantage over other candidates because I have seen first hand what techniques work best. I expect a great deal from the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program, I expect that this program will turn me into he best psychologist that I can possibly be.

I also expect that I will not only be better academically, but I will have formed lasting professional relationships with my teachers and future colleagues.
