Question by Pretty thang: Can someone please edit my essay?
I am applying to enroll in the Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy program at Eisner Institute for Professional Studies. I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. As an undergraduate student, I took psychology courses in Abnormal Psychology, Behavior Modification, and the Family. I always was interested in the complexities in psychology and the human mind. I wanted to continue to pursue a career in which I could work with people in helping them resolve his or her issues. I am aim to further my education through graduate study of psychology which will prepare me further to help my future clients to the fullest.
My professional background is in working in the mental health field for five years with clients in a variety of settings. I have worked in a residential treatment facility with adolescents that have behavioral and emotional problems, abused and neglected children that are victims of domestic violence, and outpatient setting with families in crises. My clinical experience has been both in the capacity as a counselor and case manager. I am currently working with adolescents with behavioral and emotional problems in a residential treatment facility. My role as a counselor is to provide supervision, counseling, and support to adolescents. I help the adolescents in making positive choices regarding daily living situations, personal hygiene , and conflict resolution.
I became interested in working in therapy because I experienced a family member that needed therapy for depression. My brother had been struggling with depression for a long time. My brother made the choice to seek professional help for his depression. Depression was genetic in our family, so our family as well got therapy. Through years of counseling and therapy, my brother and family benefited from therapy because we were able to heal at the same time. I understand the issues that can result firsthand from depression. I know that through therapy, people can make life long changes by looking at their lives and setting goals. I believe that each client has the capacity to make positive decision making and choices toward a more fulfilling life. I would like to be there for my future clients to help lead(guide) them to a road of personal growth and recovery or healing, self-improvement. I am fully committed and determined to advocate for clients facing issues such as family conflict, depression, and substance abuse. I believe that every client, given the proper guidance, can find their path to personal success. I am eager and dedicated to learn the techniques and approaches that are used to help families, children, and individuals resolve their issues. For this reason, I would be a good candidate for the Marriage and Family Therapy program. I realize that graduate school can be quite challenging, but I am determined to be a good student to learn about psychology that will prepare me for a career in Marriage and Family Therapy.
