Subject:PsychologyPrice: Bought3
A 19 y.o. Asian-American client comes to you for counseling at the university's career
counseling center. She has been worried about choosing a major and complains about
struggling with sleep problems, headaches, and low energy. She has been getting average
grades in her Engineering courses and fears she is a disappointment to her parents. She does
not want her parents to know she is seeing you as this may be yet another disappointment to
them. She has completed the Interest Profiler which revealed a Holland type of SCI. She
indicated a search on O*NET pointed her toward becoming a registered nurse; however, her
parents are urging her to continue pursuing an Engineering degree. She states she is also
struggling to choose a major because, "I am afraid that it may not be God's will." In
addition to the cultural differences between you and the client, you notice from the start, it is
evident that she has a different Spiritual Discernment decision-making style than you.
