The Use of Vision Boards as a Therapeutic Intervention

This article presents a creative approach for counseling using vision boards that can help clients set and visualize goals. These goals could be related to home, life, school, relationships, experiences, situations, values, career aspirations, or educational pursuits. Vision boards can be used to inspire and help clients to focus on their goals and to empower them to create the life they imagine. Aligned with solution-focused therapy and imagery, clients become responsible for guiding their outcome goals in counseling, which helps clients illuminate for themselves what is important to them. The authors discuss specifically what is needed and how to use this intervention in counseling.
