Counseling Experiences

“When I started my associate degree, I was a single parent with two kids looking for a way to move forward in my life and my career. Who would have thought that 10 years later, I’d have a Ph.D. and be a university professor? Without the foundation I got in this program, I wouldn’t be here.”

“How did I get to Eastfield’s Substance Abuse program? To be honest, I was in recovery myself. When I got to Eastfield, I did not even know what a semester hour was — I just knew I wanted to do something that would help someone else escape the horrors of addiction.”

“The most important things I learned in Eastfield’s Social Work program was integrity and making sure that you have good follow-through as well as the importance of the social work code of ethics — you rely on these ethics as a social worker.”
