What You Can Do

A graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling, together with the requisite post-master’s experience and licensure, allows one to provide counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults in community and agency settings. One of the benefits of a degree in clinical mental health counseling is that graduates are not only equipped to help individuals navigate normal life challenges (e.g., bereavement, relationship problems), but also help those who are struggling with more severe interpersonal and mental health difficulties (e.g., major depression disorder, social anxiety disorder).
