We’re especially interested in submissions for the following departments:
Please email submissions to ct@counseling.org and include a brief 1-3 sentence author bio. Make sure your article falls within our word guidelines of 500-1,000 words (depending on the department).
Due to the volume of submissions we receive, it may take us between 6 and 8 weeks to review your article and contact you if we are interested. If you don’t hear from us after 10 weeks, please assume that we won’t be able to use your work. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide feedback on articles we are not able to use. If the article is accepted, the editing process usually requires one to two revisions.
We write articles for mental health professionals (e.g., licensed counselors, counselor educators, social workers, psychologists) and those interested in learning more about mental health (i.e., the public). When you write, assume that your reader is either a knowledgeable peer or a future client.
When submitting an article, follow these writing guidelines:
Counseling Today articles adhere to the Associated Press style (article authors do not need to be familiar with this style to submit an article but understand that articles accepted for publication will be edited to conform to Associated Press style).
