Made by counselors, for counselors
Just Counseling Things grew from real counseling, supervision, teaching, presenting—and plenty of “where is that handout?” moments.

A network—not a know-it-all
Counseling is too broad—and people are too complex—for any one clinician to know everything. Through years of clinical practice, teaching, supervision, presenting, and continued training, we have built a trusted network of counselors, educators, supervisors, and specialists. If we do not know the answer, we usually know who to ask or where to begin looking.
Resources should support sound judgment, ethical practice, supervision, and thoughtful care.
We favor practical tools you can understand and use without a dramatic scavenger hunt.
Credible does not have to mean cold. Counselors are people, too—usually tired people with five tabs open.
