Hi there guys,
I have had two counselors that have had scars on their arms and also a teacher that was a mentor to me. I don't think its a bad thing. AT ALL. Teenagers are more likely to open up and talk to people who have been in the same situations and know what they're going through rather than someone who's just read all the pages of a book!
Anyone can have a degree, only few actually have the qualifications to become a real, helpful counselor.
Hope that eases your worry :)
