“The reason I love my position as a counselor at Horizon is the chaos. Coming into work every day and dealing with the fast-paced uncertainty of treating people in crisis is continually exciting and every day holds new experiences. This has taught me to think on my feet as a counselor and to be able to adapt and overcome any situation.

Instead of leaving a session and saying, ‘we will come back to this in 2 weeks', I can leave a session and say to a patient, ‘journal about that tonight and we can talk in the morning.
