Testimonials from Graduates
Kristi Shjerve MA, NCC, LAC, Clinician, NAU-Yuma Community Counseling 2008 graduate: "My experience in the community counseling program at NAU-Yuma never ceased to fill my hunger for knowledge and deepen my passion for strengthening my skills. The training was practical in that I discovered my limitations, confirmed my ethical stance, and was given the opportunity to implement what I learned through counseling sessions with live feedback from professionals. It prepared me for a career as a confident counselor with an endless supply of techniques and theories to utilize in my daily practice"
Margy Erskine, '04 NAU-Yuma School Counseling graduate: "I speak highly of the counseling program under the direction of Dr. Kolodinsky. The practicum and the internship were made extremely easy for me as I worked with the counselor at the school next door to me …. The live supervision during the evening counseling for the community was superb. The instructors gave us leeway to follow our ideas yet were ready with input (through the mini ear piece) on a moment's notice. I benefited greatly from my training and my supervision which gave me the confidence to do what I do now as a school counselor".
