Editorial Values
Our small, dedicated team at CounselingSchools.com is unique: a growing number of educational publishers are being gobbled up by conglomerates and private equity firms, but we’re proud to remain one of the few independent, boutique companies in this space.
Our three executives—founders Seth Restaino and Barry Franklin and chief content officer Jocelyn Blore—have worked together on this site since its inception, and most of our writers and contributing experts have been with us for at least four years.
Our Mission
Superlative Reporting, Analysis & Review
Our team of writers, reviewers, and contributing experts comprises journalists, experienced counseling professionals, professors, CEOs, multilingual researchers, executives at professional associations, and other leaders in the field.
We provide accurate, engaging, authoritative, and timely features, covering everything that current and aspiring professionals in counseling need to know.
Competitive Pay for Writers
Our tight-knit team has low turnover due to our commitment to rewarding the hard work of research, interviews, and analysis.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Our three-person executive team and trusted experts bring diverse perspectives to this work. We understand that cultural competence is integral to providing high-quality education and mental health services, and this commitment is reflected in our team’s varied demographics and article topics.
Transparency & Trust
We don’t use anonymous “staff writers”—every expert and contributor on our site is proud to include a byline with their work. We encourage you to check out our Advertising Disclosure and reach out with any inquiries or corrections.
Thank you for being so interested.
