Example: "I have always wanted a job where I was of service to others, but I didn't know how to channel that into a career until I took an introduction to psychology course in college. We learned a lot about mental illness, what causes it and different ways to treat it, which inspired me to pursue my degree. I loved the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals."
Example: "I believe that the most important traits for therapists are compassion, excellent listening skills and the ability to verbally communicate. Therapists need to have compassion so that they can connect with their clients, excellent listening skills so that their clients feel valued and the ability to verbally communicate with their clients to give them advice and help them articulate their feelings."
Example: "I want to help clients focus on on what’s truly important in order to help me to create the best plan of treatment based on the response."
