Welcome to the NCE Study Guide
Hi there! My name is Glenn, and I created this NCE Study Guide as a personal collection of study materials to help me prepare for the National Counselor Exam (NCE). Along the way, I realized I was having a lot of fun with the process—so much so that I decided to turn it into something more.
This study guide isn’t just about memorizing key concepts; it’s also about reinforcing knowledge in a way that feels meaningful and restorative. That’s why I’ve developed a deep meditation series designed to not only support NCE preparation but also serve as a form of self-care for therapists and counselors. Studying for the exam can be stressful, and I wanted to create something that blends learning with relaxation, reflection, and mindfulness.
A Quick Disclaimer
This project is purely personal and is *not* affiliated with the NBCC any official NCE organization or governing body. These materials are simply what I put together for myself, and I thought they might be helpful to others as well.
If you have any thoughts, feedback, or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out! You can contact me at ncestudyguide@gmail.com.
I hope you find these study materials useful, enjoyable, and maybe even a little inspiring. Wishing you all the best on your journey toward becoming a counselor!
