There has been growing need for program evaluation in a wide array of organizations, foundations, and agencies that provide counseling services (Astramovich & Coker, 2007; Newcomer, Hatry, and Wholey, 2015). Program evaluation can help improve counseling services by giving program administrators a better understanding of the services being offered, determining how to further develop services, and identifying areas that require modification or change in order to better meet client needs (Kapp & Anderson, 2010). Although often overlooked as a concrete method of research, program evaluation requires a solid knowledge of research and observational methods, as well as thorough knowledge of research measurement, design, and analysis (Heppner, Wampold, Owen, Thompson, & Wang, 2016). Goals of program evaluation include determining if the services provided are additive and helpful or instead, if they are harmful or ineffective, and to assess the effectiveness of a program with a particular group of clients (Heppner et al., 2016; Royse, Thyer, & Padgett, 2016). Program evaluation can reap great rewards such as gathering useful and helpful information, gaining a deeper understanding of the counseling services offered, and enhancing the offered programs (Kapp & Anderson, 2010).
