For those thinking about or just beginning their career as a Social Worker, it is hard to picture what life would look like. Retired Clinical Social Worker Betty Rounds’ L.C.S.W new book “I Am a Counselor: Now What” gives readers an inside look into the career of Social Work while also providing them with tips and encouragement to stay in the field.

Rounds worked as a Social Worker for over 20 years and now hopes to share her knowledge and skills with those new to the field. She wanted to provide a book focusing on what it is like working in the field of Social Work and Counseling to provide a first look into her professional and personal experience.

“I wanted my book to talk about what it is like to work in the field,” said Rounds.

Rounds took this as an opportunity to share all that she had learned in her tenure as a Social Worker. Her book touches on topics such as addressing nontherapeutic cultural norms and strategies for recognizing and counseling con artists. “Think Pieces” are also peppered throughout to prompt readers to reflect on why they entered the career in the first place.

“If you want to be the best counselor you can be, ‘I am a Counselor: Now What!’ is the book that will navigate you to excellence! Betty Rounds offers her expansive experience, knowledge, and compassion from an empathetic perspective.” a reviewer wrote about the book.

Ultimately, “I Am a Counselor” will encourage readers to push through difficult obstacles and stay in the field, as well as tips and tricks to help them become the best provider they can be.
