Mental Health Counselor Cover Letter Example

Dear Ms. Harper, I am excited to apply for the Licensed Mental Health Counselor position at Crossroads Counseling Associates. With 6 years of clinical counseling experience and specialized training in trauma-informed care, I am confident I can contribute to your practice's mission of providing transformative mental health services. In my current role at Community Wellness Center, I maintain a caseload of 28-32 clients weekly, providing individual, couples, and group therapy for adults presenting with complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, and co-occurring substance use issues. I have achieved a 78% treatment completion rate, significantly above the national average, and 88% of my clients demonstrate clinically significant improvement on the PHQ-9 and PCL-5 outcome measures. I developed and facilitated a 12-week DBT skills group that has served 60 clients over the past two years with a 72% reduction in self-harm behaviors among participants. I also provide clinical supervision for 2 pre-licensed counselors. I hold an LPC license, National Certified Counselor (NCC) credential, and EMDR Certified Therapist designation. I am trained in CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic experiencing, and motivational interviewing. I completed advanced training in treating complex PTSD and dissociative disorders and have 20 hours of cultural competency training focused on serving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I present at regional counseling conferences on trauma treatment approaches. Crossroads Counseling Associates' integrative approach to mental health and emphasis on therapist wellbeing strongly align with my professional values. I look forward to discussing how my clinical expertise can strengthen your counseling team. Warm regards, Nathaniel Brooks, LPC, NCC, EMDR Certified
