Amanda Aguilera, distance Masters student
is from the Southeast side of Chicago, and I am currently a distance master’s student at ICSW.
I chose ICSW because I was intrigued with the psychodynamic approach that is offered and I wanted to expand my knowledge within that framework. Additionally, I appreciate the opportunity to complete my degree entirely online and the diversity of the faculty and students.
Furthermore, I look forward to continuing my education in the Master’s in Clinical Counseling and Psychotherapy program. Although I have limited experience in counseling, I am certain I will gain the knowledge and experience needed during my time at ICSW.
Finally, I am excited to use my knowledge to give back to my community upon completing my degree. I would like to open a center that would be a safe place for children and adolescents to attend after school where they can find assistance with homework, engage in activities, participate in meditation, and gain education on mental health.
