The Kid on Case Mountain is a counseling case vignette presented as a compelling story rather than a traditional textbook. Written by licensed professional counselor Heather Plourde, the book follows a young person's experiences through the lens of trauma, relationships, resilience, and personal growth. As the story unfolds, readers are invited to identify clinical themes, apply counseling theories, and consider practical interventions.
Designed for counseling students, new therapists, and educators, the book bridges the gap between theory and real-world practice. It encourages critical thinking, empathy, and discussion while making the learning process more engaging and memorable than a standard case study. Whether used in graduate counseling courses, supervision, or independent study, The Kid on Case Mountain provides an accessible and meaningful way to explore the complexities of the therapeutic process.
