Students further develop essential interviewing and counseling skills via counseling dyads. Emphasis is placed on conducting counseling over an extended period of time and working with culturally diverse individuals with a focus on the therapist's identity. Students will develop advanced communication skills, heighten self and interpersonal awareness, become more mindful of how the counseling process develops over time, start the process of practicing socially just counseling, and explore ways individual differences may manifest themselves in communication and connection.
