To Whom It May Concern:

I am seeking a position in the mental/behavioral health field. Unlike many

other candidates, I have real world experience in the field as an intake

coordinator, group facilitator, and counselor. My strong desire to help

people with their therapeutic needs coupled with what I have learned from

working with diverse populations makes me a strong candidate.

In the course of my day as a counselor, I came into contact with diverse

populations whose learning, social, and emotional functioning levels

covered a wide spectrum. I particularly enjoyed and excelled at working

with the clients to help guide them to set realistic therapeutic goals for

themselves. Currently, as a counselor at Mill Springs Academy, I realize

that one of my greatest strengths is the ability to increase client's

awareness and also tolerance of frustration when they become overwhelmed

and feel incapable of succeeding. Helping clients realize their potential

by focusing on their accomplishments and reflecting on past successes helps

promote positive self-concept.

As outlined above, my dedication to the field of mental/behavioral health

is both proven and strong. I believe you will discover my personality,

strong communication skills, and qualifications to be of great interest.

Enclosed is a copy of my resume for you to view. Please feel free to

contact me at 770-***-**** to arrange an interview at your convenience.

Thank you for your consideration.
