When identifying current opportunities and strategies to lead and advocate, counselors can learn from the successes and struggles throughout the counseling profession’s history. The efforts of early counseling professionals have shaped our present, providing momentum for new leaders to push our field forward and expand our reach into the community. Much has changed in the counseling profession in the past 100 years: Counselor licensure now exists in all 50 states, the focus on multicultural and social justice counseling continues to increase, and outreach has been made to countless clients previously unable to access counseling services. In this section, we focus on the efforts of a few key leaders, along with the tireless efforts of others, who created our current landscape. We invite you to consider not only how far the counseling field has come but also how far it still has to go to become your ideal profession. Even more, we hope you will reflect on how you can lead our field forward into the future.
