Student/Lay Counseling

Word of Life Counseling Training Institute provides student counselors who are under supervision completing their practicums to counsel clients for free.  I return students obtain counseling experience to fulfill their training requirements.  Lay counselors have already completed their counseling certification but volunteer to continuing counseling for free until they meet the requirements and become Pastoral Counselors. 

Because our student counselors are still in training under supervision until they complete their certification they do not charge a fee for their counseling.  Lay counselors, who are certified, also do not charge for their counseling until they are ordained, are able to obtain counseling liability insurance and become Pastoral Counselors.

Both student and lay counselors are supervised weekly by licensed counselors. Hopefully, although the student and lay counselors do not have as much actual experience, this deficit is fulfilled by the experience supervisor so that the client will have the same results as if they were counselled directly by the supervisor.  

Call 316-677-7646 and ask for an appointment with a student or lay counselor as soon as possible because we have a limited number of student and lay counselors.
