The counselor usually selects a Niche Specialty because the counselor feels best prepared in this area by training and experience, because the counselor has been very successful in working with this problem in the past, or because the counselor has a special interest in working with this client problem. The Niche Specialty should be in an area of counselor competency by education and experience, but it does not indicate that the counselor has completed a formal internship or residency, such as might be found in the medical community. The first purpose of the Niche Specialty listing is to help the potential client satisfy special needs. The second is to help the counselor to market special skill or knowledge.
