Welcome

Dr. Eva Gibson, President
Tennessee Counseling Association

Welcome to the Tennessee Counseling Association Conference! TCA has offered this conference for 61 years and we are continually looking for ways to make it bigger and better for our attendees! As a longtime member of TCA, I always look forward to conference time as I learn new information that I can take back to my practice and implement in my professional (and sometimes personal) life. Our conference chair has selected a theme that closely aligns with my vision for this year: “Many voices, one profession.” As counselors, we work in a variety of settings and with a variety of populations. We are ethically obligated to advocate on behalf of our diverse clients, therefore we must work together to make our professional voice heard. This may include social justice initiatives as well as legislative action. In an effort to meet the needs of our clients, TCA works to meet the needs of our counselors and prepare them for the work ahead. The annual conference is a great opportunity for counselors to gather new tools and sharpen their skills as a means to enhance their practice. We look forward to seeing you at the conference because we are better together!
