I am currently a practitioner in training completing my practicum requirements as a clinical mental health counselor. I am struggling because most of my past experience is within a corporate environment. Currently, I have an Associates in Psychology, Bachelors in Psychology, and currently at the final requirements of completing my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. When engaging in the consultation phase for new clients how do I introduce myself in a manner within the practicum phase with no clinical experience? How can I incorporate professional identity into the into the introduction.

We all have to start somewhere, but how do I introduce myself without scaring clients away due to lack of clinical experience?
