Mental Health America: MHA Career Center. Pearson Early Childhood Web Seminar. Schizophrenia.com, Indepth Schizophrenia Information and Support. Unmistaken identity | Counseling Today. What constitutes the identity of a counselor? Perhaps the answer, in its simplest form, can be found in the way that counselors introduce themselves. Martin Ritchie keeps it simple: “Hello, I’m Martin Ritchie, and I’m a professional counselor.”

“I learned this from Sam Gladding,” says Ritchie, professor and chair of the Department of School Psychology, Legal Specialties and Counselor Education at the University of Toledo. “I have been to several [of his] presentations and workshops. He always makes a point at the beginning of introducing himself as ‘I am Sam Gladding, and I am a professional counselor.’

He then explains that it is an expression of pride and often leads to a discussion about what a counselor is and what a counselor does.” Thankfully, Gladding says, the frequency with which he must follow that introductory sentence with an explanation decreases with each passing year.
