- This form could potentially take 30 minutes - 1 hour to complete. Ultimately, the form should only take 5-10 minutes to complete; however, there is a section called "Personal Statement" that will require some thinking and writing to speak to your potential client that will take most of your time. This is your "marketing" of yourself to your client.
  
  It is also possible that you will finish this form in less than 30-minutes, but that will depend upon how much you know yourself and how you market/communicate with potential clients. Just remember, people, buy into people, not programs. Especially as an mental health professional. Are you relatable? They want to know what you have to offer them, but also whether they can connect to you. We are stewards of the most vulnerable places of a human being; their heart, actions, emotions, and memories.

- PRO TIP: Write to a person; not for a professor. This is not a research paper. No clinical jargon, please.
- Imagine your ideal client. What are their issues, their needs, their goals? What do they want and why?*
  Attention-grabber. First off, it’s gotta resonate with your dream client. (Not likely to happen when you’re leading with something like, “As a licensed clinical counselor, I…”.) A good personal statement should make your dream client sit up and take notice. And, ideally, take the next step to get in touch with you.
- How can you help? Talk about your specialty and what you offer.*
  The Struggle. Focus on just 1 or 2 primary struggles. There’s simply not space to describe several challenges your dream client is facing. And listing them out isn’t compelling. So, pick a couple (at most) and paint a picture of what they’re experiencing.
- Build empathy and invite the potential client to reach out to you. Do not include contact details here.*
  The Solution. Finally, your personal statement should pivot to a way out of their current challenge. One highly effective way to achieve this is to describe how life will feel different for them when they’re no longer struggling in the same way. Note that this is NOT the same thing as listing the specific therapeutic interventions you’ll use. Doing so rarely translates to meaningful connection.
