work as individual professionals or as members of a team.
Army Mental Health Counselor
Members of the armed forces, like the Army, often have difficult times - to say the
least - when it comes to staying mentally and emotionally stable. These brave men and
women go through grueling training and are separated from their families when they’re
shipped overseas to live in an unfamiliar world amidst.

Career Counselor
Career counselors help prepare their clients for the start, change, or advancement
of their careers. They provide consulting, coaching, and counseling so that clients can
explore their interests and options more in-depth. The counselors take things like
personality, aptitude, interests, personality, and behavior into consideration as they help
guide clients towards careers that will make them happy.

Child Counselor
 Child abuse counselors have the demanding and rewarding job of helping victims
of serious child abuse try to rebuild their psyche, trust, and happiness. They use their
training to identify, analyze, and treat specific symptoms of child abuse and they provide
crucial therapy to help the child overcome their awful ordeal. Some of that therapy can
involve playing, or encouraging children to speak their minds, or even working with the
family to ensure the child is provided a safe and comfortable environment to continue
their development.
Child counselors are specifically trained to provide outpatient counseling treatment
services for children, adolescents, and their families. They perform assessments for
specific issues such as ADHD and autism and they also offer counseling services for
children with behavioral, social, or emotional issues. They use their training to help
families identify and treat issues in children such as weight disorders, anger problems, or
social anxiety disorders.

Community Mental Health Counselors are mental health professionals who
provide therapy, consulting, and coaching to people who are having issues in a
community setting. These counselors are well-versed in the makeup of their community
and they try to help clients understand their relationship to that community and help
identify and treat issues and problems that arise out of the community setting. They are
often charged with helping people adjust to and understand their community better as to
minimize issues and promote mental health for everyone.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict resolution is the art and science of resolving disputes in healthy and
mutually agreed-upon ways. When handled correctly, conflict can be a good thing that
leads to teamwork and better communication. When handled incorrectly, it can
permanently damage relationships, slow progress, and create even larger issues. A
conflict resolution mediator is essential in a variety of professional fields and can often
the same companies or people time and money that would have been otherwise wasted.
Depression counselors
Depression counselors are specifically trained to deal with the mental, emotional,
and physical issues that can arise out of depression. Depression counselors don’t just
prescribe medication, they try to drill down to the root cause of the depression and help
clients identify steps they can take to overcome the depression. Helping clients
understand why they are depressed and helping them through the steps to recovery can
have a profound impact on the quality of life for the clients.
Domestic Violence Counselors
Domestic violence is one of the more prevalent issues that take place in the home
setting and domestic violence counselors are the ones who help victims of domestic
abuse deal with and overcome their traumatic experiences. Their training helps them

grief and sense of loss that usually follows the death of a loved one, a particularly
emotional divorce, or another tragic life experience. Coping can happen in several
different ways and grief counselors are adept at identifying what method of counseling or
treatment works with each individual. They try to help clients not only deal with that grief
but also help those clients deal with grief while they continue to be productive members
of society.
Multi-Cultural Counseling
What Is Multi-Cultural Counseling? It’s no secret that the population in this country
continues to rise. This increase can be attributed not only to longer lifespans and births
but also to an increasing number of immigrants to this country. America has one of the
most culturally diverse populations in the world.
Pastoral counselors are psychologically trained ministers of faith who are
responsible for tending to the physical and emotional needs of their followers or
congregations. They work within the religious community and are a result of the belief
that therapy can be combined with faith and science. They can help followers with a wide
range of afflictions including family issues, depression, abuse, and substance issues.

mental, or emotional issues so that they can live as independently as possible. Trained

disability.

from academic achievement to social adjustment to even career selection and
development. They work within the school infrastructure to support and foster academic

what is afflicting them, and overcome or deal with that issue. These counselors combine
their spiritual or religious knowledge with an in-depth understanding of the psychology
behind the issues so that their patients can live happy and fulfilling lives.

country and substance abuse counselors are ones trained to help people understand the
motivations behind their substance abuse issue, and then help people overcome and
defeat those issues. They have psychological and physiological training that helps them
understand the emotional and mental issues of substance abuse as well as the physical
ones.

jobs as they are specifically training in the psychology behind suicidal feelings and
depression and their job is to help patients with suicidal thoughts think more positively
and continue to live a fulfilling and rewarding life. These counselors are trained to identify
motivations behind suicidal thoughts and help the patients deal with those motivations so
they can gain more self-confidence and self-worth.
Transformational counselors offer an alternative form of mental and physical
healing that focuses on self-improvement, spiritual healing, and deeper life satisfaction.
The counselors combine traditional psychological knowledge with alternative methods for
inner-healing to help patients find a greater sense of purpose, excitement, joy, and self-
satisfaction.

With more than five million veterans in the country, veterans’ counselors have their
hands full assisting the nation’s heroes with a myriad of physical, emotional, mental, or
social problems that can arise in people who have experienced combat. Veterans’
counselors help their patients identify the root of their issues and then help them adjust
to a more traditional life by helping them treat and cope with the issues.
