Delaware Professional Counselors Association

DPCA is a growing community of mental health counselors who strive to advance the profession and practice of professional counseling in Delaware. We also provide continuing education opportunities through conferences, workshops, and other means that assist professional mental health counselors and others in updating and enhancing their competencies.

If you share our interest in training and credentialing of professional counselors, in research, in positive relations with other professional organizations and in effective advocacy of counseling-relating issues, we invite you to join our programs of public awareness designed to enhance recognition of professional counseling and its practitioners.

Please come join us at our January 20, 2012 DPCA Meeting!

Priscilla Murphy will be speaking on the topic:
Counseling Across Generations: A Developmental Perspective.

We all come of age in a unique historical context yet how often do we make "present day culture" assumptions about how people think and feel without taking into account the "there and then" perspective pertaining to a particular client. This presentation will focus on becoming more aware of the impact of one's generational context on how one thinks and feels about things, and how to incorporate those insights into effective therapy.
