This program equips students to become entry-level mental health counselors, qualifying them for New York State licensure in mental health counseling.
With growing societal pressures and the mounting challenges of modern life affecting education, careers, personal relationships, and overall wellness, demand for mental health services has surged significantly.
Today's mental health professionals must be adaptable practitioners with deep awareness of social influences and the skills to develop comprehensive support strategies for those in need.
Our CACREP-accredited mental health counseling program thoroughly trains you to become a competent counselor capable of meaningfully enhancing your clients' lives.
Students complete a practicum and two internships in various settings such as mental health clinics, hospitals, community organizations, substance abuse treatment facilities, and colleges, serving diverse age groups from children to older adults.
