I agree with you that your counselor should have been more up to date. And I'm not too convinced with the notion that you, and only you, are responsible for reading a brochure and ensuring you are in the correct courses. I might have a lot to say on the subject, but the main point here I think is that the advisor's responsibility is to dispense with accurate information.
But here's some advice for you based on my wife's similar interests and goals: if you are considering ultimately gaining a master's degree in your line of work, you might benefit from asking around about a degree called a Master's of Counseling. The MSW has long been the standard fare for someone thinking of going into your line of work, but the MoC is the new horizon for all sorts of reasons. Check it out. Less saturated degree, higher pay, and more tailored to what you sound like you want to do.
well shit, came back to read a reply and found some typos!
