Counselor HQ Podcast
The Counselor HQ Podcast is a supportive, honest space for counselors, therapists, school counselors, and mental health professionals who give so much to others — and deserve support themselves.
Hosted by licensed counselor and former school counselor Noelle Rizzio, this podcast explores the real, behind-the-scenes experience of working in the counseling profession. Each episode blends practical insight, relatable stories, and counselor humor to tackle the topics we don’t always get time or space to talk about.
You’ll hear conversations about:
-
counselor burnout and compassion fatigue
-
boundaries, self-worth, and resilience in helping professions
-
navigating isolation in counseling work
-
practical tools, tech, and strategies that make the job more manageable
-
career growth for counselors and counseling students
Whether you’re a seasoned clinician, a school counselor juggling a full caseload, a grad student entering the field, or a helper trying to sustain yourself long-term, this podcast is here to remind you that you’re not alone.
New episodes drop weekly.
