The Thoughtful Counselor

I’m not typically a podcast person but this podcast is too beneficial to pass up as a clinical mental health grad student. A great range of topics are covered and I enjoy the pace and nature of the conversations.

The topics look so promising, the speakers are credible, and the counseling profession needs a good podcast, I just wish the show was structured more efficiently, with specific talking points so that when it was done, you could say "this is what I learned," rather than "I listened to a conservation that at times dragged on and wasn't really helpful." so my feedback would be to consider improving the technical aspects, such as the actual audio from some of the presenters, which was difficult to hear at times, but also the technical format of the show. Some episodes are great but some are really lacking.

I really like the format of the show and the practical suggestions. Very helpful for people who do counseling but also come in for therapy! Dr. John - The Mens Self Help Podcast

I am currently a graduate student in a school counseling program and use these podcasts to get a lot of my indirect hours. The variability in topics that are presented allow me to get a lot of exposure to things that might not necessarily be taught in my program. Podcasts will leave me wanting to discuss different topics or questions with my fellow students and I love that experience. Thank you so much for starting this. It is really appreciated!
