A Special Holiday Request!
Hello, and welcome to Counselor Weekly! Thanks again for being part of the community!
A Special Holiday Request!
Let’s see if we can make an impact this holiday season!! I’ve set up a donation link to the Make-A-Wish Foundation with the goal of raising at least $1000 for children that could absolutely benefit from a holiday surprise. If you don’t know the impact Make-A-Wish makes in the community, here are some recent stats:
8 out of 10 wish kids reported that their wish experience helped them overcome hopelessness, depression, and loneliness.
9 out of 10 wish parents saw their child’s emotional well-being improve with a wish.
9 out of 10 wish kids reported that the wish experience relieved them from traumatic stress.
We are blessed every day to help others improve, and as we head into 2024, let’s try to impact the lives of children and their families by making a small donation. Any amount you’re comfortable donating is much appreciated!
As a person that feels very strongly about this cause, I will match up to $1000 that is donated! Let’s make this happen!
Here’s the link to the donation page if you would like to give:
And now for the rest of the newsletter!

Are you an LPC Supervisor in Texas wanting to market your services and connect with potential Associates? Are you recently graduated from your Master’s program and beginning the search for an LPC Supervisor? If so, Find Your Supervisor is a directory for LPC Supervisors to list their information in a searchable index so that potential Supervisees can connect with them and hopefully find a perfect match! There’s even a FREE version! Though you will not get all the robust search capabilities and members only resources you receive with the paid version, the FREE option still allows you to market basic information about your practice.
What do I get in the paid version? The short answer: A LOT! CLICK HERE to access the pricing page to learn more. Just think, if you contract with one new Associate from the site, the PREMIUM plan has paid for itself for the whole year within one month. PLUS, I’m giving you a discount code to take one of my Supervisor Refresher Courses (6 hours of CEs) for FREE as part of the Premium membership. It’s almost paying for itself just with that discount.
If you have any questions, click REPLY to this email and I can answer any questions you have. Thanks again for allowing me this personal promotion! 🙏
Meme of the Day
This isn’t specifically related to therapy, but it’s a free resource that can be used in a ton of ways! Tiny PNG reduces the file size of your images used online so that your website will load faster. If you are using photos/images to market your practice through a website, blog, social media, etc., this is a quick and easy way to reduce the file size.
The holidays can be the best of times, or the worst.
Sixty-six percent of people report feeling lonely at the holidays
Burnout is a very real concern in our profession. Here are some myths that help cause it. I especially connect with “I have to make everyone happy”.
There is a lot of info here! You can spend quite a while going through all these biases. If you’re a cognitive behavioral therapist, this is a link to bookmark for sure.
Referral Program Just Got Better!
First off, I want to thank those of you that referred Counselor Weekly to others last week! It means a lot to me you’re willing to share this newsletter with colleagues/friends. In hopes of gaining more referrals, I’ve added two more referral rewards!
What are the new rewards❓
A digital download titled: Consult Call Template
Only 5 referrals needed for this reward! The Consult Call Template is a general script to use to turn consult calls into clients. With only 15-20 minutes during the call, it’s important to have a plan of action when talking with potential clients. This script removes the confusion of what to say, and prevents wasted time during your brief consultations.
Really Cool Handmade Leather Craft
Only 20 referrals needed to access this reward! I will personally make you a handmade leather craft and send it to you. As an amateur leather crafter, I can assure you it will be a one-of-a-kind, unique item. It might be a bookmark, or a valet, or a leather coaster, or whatever else I come up with!
