The Wellness Counselor Career Training

This eight-week training is a practicum in professional counseling. If you want to become a certified wellness counselor specializing in personal development, peer counseling, and life coaching, this course is for you. Wellness counseling is the popular alternative to therapy, and is geared toward a healthy population seeking motivational and disciplinary skills. While the course focuses on practical coaching, consulting, and counseling proficiency, the program first assists you in mastering your own personal development and then teaches you how to provide this holistic approach to self-improvement to paying clients. An optional internship is included in the price.
