Psychosocial counseling, a discipline for mental health practitioners
in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy and
School Counseling, is generally pursued after acquiring at least a Master’s
degree in the field. Teresa Susmaras did volunteer work in the clinical
setting of a domestic violence clinic, gaining hours toward her intern
requirements and simultaneously gaining valuable first-hand experience
with the manifestations of violent behavior.
Dysfunctions in personal and social behavior prompt humans to seek out help from psychologists specializing in the counseling arena. Psychosocial counselors work in many areas of human endeavor: government agencies, schools, therapy venues for individual and group therapies, and clinics specializing in substance abuse, anxiety disorders and other behavior and development issues. Emotional, social, educational and developmental behavior is the focus of the counselor attempting to bring his academic expertise to bear in the treatment of a multitude of human behavioral disorders.
Counselors may work with domestic violence survivors in a variety of positions: volunteering as did
