YOU Should Take 10 Minutes to Apply to Be an Honoree to Counselor’s Choice Award. Why?

🏆 Why You (Yes, YOU!) Should Apply for the Counselor's Choice Award 🏆 

Hey there, fellow mental health counselors! You need to apply to be an Honoree of the Counselor’s Choice Award!

Now, before you roll your eyes and tell yourself, "I’m too busy! I’m not sure I qualify! I feel weird nominating myself for something," hear me out. This isn't just another fancy badge — it’s an opportunity to grow your practice, flex your skills, and yes, make sure your clients feel really good about choosing you. Let's break down why you should absolutely apply (and why it's not scary, we promise).

1. Scale Up Your Therapy Practice and Caseload

You’ve spent years building your skills, your practice, your education, and your patience when you’re no-showed after rearranging your schedule to fit them in. The Counselor's Choice Award helps get you in front of new clients who are actually looking for a therapist like you. More visibility = more clients = more lives changed.

2.  Distinguish Your Therapy Practice or Your Therapy Tools

You’re probably using an incredible tool, intervention, or approach that’s helping people more than doom-scrolling and looking at memes. This award sets you apart. Have a book, CE course, skills workbook, App, podcast, etc? It could be doing a lot better if other counselors also put their literal stamp of approval on it too!

3. Bring Comfort to Your Clients (Because who doesn’t love a Stamp of Approval)

Let’s be real — clients are Googling you. They want to know they’re in good hands. When they see you’ve been recognized by other licensed counselors, that’s instant trust. It’s like the therapist version of a Michelin star — but without the overpriced tiny portions.

4. Free Advertising!

When you become an honoree, you’re added to our exclusive list! We also do a social media blast and blog post too. Free spotlight!  We present the best parts we see about your practice or therapy tool for you! You'll also get to use our logo for free on your website, packaging, or things like that too! Then you can keep focusing on what matters — your clients.

5. FREE, Easy, and Totally Painless to Apply (Seriously, We Don’t Bite)

We know what you’re thinking:"What if I’m not good enough? What if they reject me? What if they think I’m weird because I still use a paper planner and notes?"

Take a deep breath. No judgment here. The application is free, quick, and painless to apply online. Have self-doubts or fear of rejection? Even if we have more questions after your application, we’re just here to help clinicians help other clinicians to improve. It won’t hurt and even if we have follow-up questions after you apply, it’s not because you’re being “evaluated” — it’s because we genuinely want to help clinicians help each other. No bite, no shade, no rejection wounds. Just an opportunity to celebrate your hard work and lift up the entire mental health community.
