“Journeys to Professional Excellence is a wonderful collection of diverse narratives. Readers will find themselves drawn into these stories and will leave with a better understanding of what it means to be a practicing counselor.” 

“As a newer counselor educator, I found knowledge, encouragement, inspiration, and a sense of professional kinship in these pages. This book is a great resource for beginning professionals.” 

“Journeys to Professional Excellence is an inspirational bricolage woven together by master artists, the editors. The bricoles provided by each author are bound to inspire, motivate, and encourage readers to reach for the stars in their professional endeavors, even in their personal lives.” 

“Exceptional book!  Relevant to counselors’ global professional growth.” 

“This is exactly what counseling educators need to train up future professionals. Knowing information is one thing but learning and understanding how it works is another. Bemak and Conyne fill this gap by addressing the experience of a professional from an application perspective.”
