Reviews for Becoming an Effective Counselor: A Guide for Advanced Clinical Courses

"""Another wonderful book written by Justin Levitov and Kevin Fall! Their engaging writing style makes reading easy and enjoyable. Interesting and relevant case examples are used to help the reader truly understand the concepts, and sample dialogue and exchanges are helpful to illustrate how to, among other things, validate feelings, communicate empathy, and open and close a session. This is a tremendous resource not only for graduate students in clinical courses but also for those working towards licensure.""—Christine H. Ebrahim, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, past president of the Louisiana Counseling Association and associate professor in the Department of Counseling at Loyola University New Orleans"
