Since I took time off from this program, the Encyclopedia of Counseling has been an invaluable tool I use to jog my memory as I prepare for the NCE.

Handy reference that provides an overview of MI in action: from the stages of change to using change talk to help the client gain insight into why their behavior is not sustainable nor a long-term means of
coping.

This website, with both worksheets and modules, has been immensely helpful to my practice. From the site: "[s]ome of the modules can be used on their own, while others are best used as part of the series; each workbook will have its own suggestions."

With many assessments available to clinicians, I find it helpful to have a list of assessments to measure client growth.

Major theories and interventions to use that is helpful in progressing a client through treatment. Some
interventions are meant to advance client insight and others are to determine patterns
or themes. I keep a running list of things to use and/or try when I (or my client and myself) feel stuck and have a difficult time progressing toward therapeutic goals.
