Abstract
This report reflects my experience during my Master of Social Work field practicum placement at Gryba Phillips Professional Counselling Associates in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This document provides an overview of the business and the specific types of therapies that are practiced at this agency. It also outlines the goals and objectives of the practicum and provides a review of the literature for the theories and therapies that I utilized during my practicum experience. The focus is on family systems theory, with some incorporation of Adlerian therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, expressive arts therapy, and play therapy. Three case examples of clients that I had the opportunity to counsel independently, are also described. A reflection of my experience is included. This report will also speak to the importance of clinical supervision, boundaries and ethics.
