About

Years ago I searched for a libertarian counselor and I couldn’t find one. I wanted to talk about how I felt out of place and at times unwelcome in the university culture due to holding beliefs that were quite different than those of most of my peers and professors. I didn’t go to counseling at that time because I didn’t feel comfortable talking with someone who I assumed would most likely be a part of that culture in which I already felt unwelcome! 

I came to keep my beliefs to myself in order to get through the system, but as I got into my counseling career my frustrations grew. I questioned if a career in counseling was the right path for me because while the mental health field promotes inclusivity, I felt the fear that I would be excluded for having seemingly controversial beliefs.

As a counselor, I’ve been disappointed in my field. We ought to be able to serve our clients while maintaining a certain level of professionalism. It is not professional to argue with a client simply because a client has a political opinion that differs from your own! Clients don’t come to counseling to argue about politics; they go on social media to do that! 

I’ve been happy to see an increase in resources for political outcasts. (See my Resources page for links to some of these sites)

As the Libertarian Counselor I am here to welcome and support my fellow political outcasts!
