Reaching Out: Teen Counselor’s Business Card

The troubled teen stereotype is a reality for many young people these days. Teen counselors provide an essential resource for your teenagers dealing with life issues, depression, anxiety and the usual high school problems. Being able to reach the teenagers and promote their services is a large part of the teen counselor’s business card.

Communication is key on the teen counselor’s business card. Be sure to provide a number of different ways to get in touch including the usual office phone number, e-mail address, cell phone, website and mail drop box number. Use the back of your business card to list your office hours, ways to make an appointment and ways to contact you after business hours are over. Accessibility is the focus of the counselor’s business card.

Avoid any cliché clipart or wild color schemes on the teen counselor’s business card. Teenagers are a fickle group and anything too creative and colorful will be considered off putting. The classic black and white may be a little formal depending on the school you work in but perhaps something in a blue or green with white or black lettering will work best.

Consider placing a small portrait photograph of your teen counselor’s business card. Choose a soothing image that isn’t overly friendly or will appear “cheesy” to your young clients. Think about your photograph as a tool of recognition rather than a means of selling your services. Choose something personal rather than an overly touched up professional image.

Hand out a teen counselor’s business card to every individual that makes an appointment with you. Staple a business card to the back of all your counseling brochures and flyers. Consider getting several dozen magnetic business cards printed up and place them around the high school to encourage people to visit your office.
