Overview

Program Description Marymount University offers a M.A. in counseling with three specializations from which a student must choose. These specializations are Clinical Mental Health, Pastoral Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and School Counseling. Marymount's graduate program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling is designed to equip students with the competencies and skills that will provide a lasting impact on their clients. Mental Health counselors work with individuals experiencing developmental, situational, and existential mental health issues. Marymount's counselor training programs combine traditional psychotherapy with practical approaches to facilitate positive change for clients. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to display a command of the knowledge base required for professional counselors, including foundation of the counseling field, individual and group counseling skills, tests and measurements, research methods and design, human growth and development, career development, counseling theory, diagnosis and treatment, multicultural counseling, and ethical issues in counseling; effectively conduct individual and group counseling sessions; apply American Counseling Association (ACA) ethics and professional standards; and demonstrate an understanding of current trends in the job market, self-marketing strategies, and professional, legal, and ethical compliance. Marymount's M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling provides an opportunity to earn a graduate degree and complete the coursework needed for licensure as a professional counselor (LPC) in 60 credit hours. Candidates are eligible to sit for the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) examination near the end of their program of study and begin the post-master's supervised clinical experience necessary to become a licensed professional counselor.
