Article Evaluation
I plan to help explain what the duties, schooling, and maybe to expand on what a mental health counselor does.

Article rewrite. In the article I'm reviewing the community seems to be having a hard time nailing down a specific job or role a mental healthcare offical has. I would like to help change what the definition of a mental healthcare counselor in the United States is. Mental healthcare workers play many roles in a community, but their most important role is to be an objective, non- judgmental, open, encouraging individual to the patients they counsel.

Being a mental health counselor comes with many duties that vary depending on the direction chosen to treat within this field. Some duties that a mental health counselor may fill are diagnostics, drug and alcohol treatment plans, helping people through negative emotions or crisis's, and preventative measures. Many mental health counselors look to help their clients have a concise whole body treatment plan that address's all the needs of the client.

Mental Health counselors widely use qualitative reasoning to as a way to educate individuals that are entering this field. This model when introducing qualitative methods for students to use in the pursuit of their education helps to align the scientific aspects of the profession with the mathematical areas we use to prove or disprove whether a model will yield results. . Finding ways that will help patients cope and lead fulfilling roles within their lives is one goal that Mental Health counselors want their clients to achieve.

Becoming a counselor and using it in daily life to help others to learn ,more about themselves is not a reason for someone to pursue a degree within this field. Ethics within this profession should remain professional to be able to adequately treat patients. Remaining detached as the witness to a clients thought, feelings, and emotions can be a hard thing to do, but will ultimately reassure a patient that there are no judgement to what they will share. Guiding a patient to understand themselves and their choices is also another aspect of this profession.

Mental health counselors can be defined by the services they may offer an individual. Some of these services include diagnosing, treating, consulting with, and formulating a way to work with an individual or an individuals family through disorders such as abuse, drug, physical, emotional, and mental health disorders. Finding ways to actively give a person tools to cope with and manage the stressors in an individuals life is also another area a Mental Health Counselor may be able to offer assistance. Mental Health Counseling can be similar to becoming a psychologist one main difference is that a psychologist will do more research as part of continuing within the research field whereas a Mental Health Counselor will work more closely with a patient on a more in an individual or group setting to deal with the needs of a patient.Ru31982 (talk) 07:54, 12 February 2018 (UTC) Your are off the a great start. Posting this would already improve the article! Be careful writing from 1rst person: "depending on the direction you choose to treat within this field"(paragraph 1)

Mental Health Counseling can be similar to becoming a psychologist vs Mental Health Counseling is similar to becoming a psychologist in that.....(just a suggestion :) )

to help others to learn ,ore (typo line 1, paragraph3)

Thanks for the tips I will change those things about my article. It's always hard to remember not to write they, you, me, and I to our articles. Those suggestions that you've made I'm going to change and incorporate. These suggestions will definately help me to improve my writing. Now figuring out which parts I want to add together and make more cohesive will work better.

For my second reviewer I'm not seeing who or if they reviewed my article, but I'm not seeing it anywhere.. Ru31982 (talk) 03:29, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
