Create an "Opening Statement" monologue regarding what you might specifically say to your client when meeting him or her for the first time.
This statement should include the following:
Formal education/training
Continuing education and supervision requirements
Your supervisor's information
Philosophy and approach to counseling (write in layman's terms)
Counseling fee schedule-Remember, for your practice sessions there will be no fee!
Limits of confidentiality (also review the American Counseling Association's [ACA's] website)
Contact information for any complaints related to counseling/counselor
