Clinical Mental Health Counselors help people manage and overcome mental and emotional disorders and problems with their family and relationships. They listen to clients and ask questions to help the clients understand their problems and develop strategies to improve their lives.
This advanced degree in counseling prepares counselors for careers in settings such as mental health, child welfare and family counseling agencies; institutions for the aging; employment and personnel offices; parishes; college counseling centers and fields dealing with chemical dependency and other addictions. Students will earn the required educational credits to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. Because the program is CACREP-accredited, training in this program is recognized nationally (though specific laws and licensing regulations vary in each state).
