I'm in Grad school for my Masters in Counseling with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy though I'll also be qualified to practice general community counseling as well.
Classes are, IMO, easier than undergrad. Less busywork and more in depth discussions. I enjoy my classes a LOT
Prepare to have your values questioned. And to question them yourself. If this isn't a school that teaching you Christian based counseling, you're going to butt heads with a lot of your classmates regularly. Part of being a counselor, I'm learning, is acknowledging that even if you disagree with your client's lifestyle, you can't just refuse to see that client because of it. Ethics will blow your mind
I'm certainly not saying that it's impossible to be Christian and counsel, particularly if you intend to work for a faith based organization, but be willing to be challenged a lot on the way toward getting your degree.
