Counseling

The program prepares its graduates to have a significant impact on the mental health field as counselors, program directors, researchers, grant writers and policy makers on the local, state and national levels. With those goals in mind, the curriculum focuses on a broad spectrum of issues including:
the antecedent conditions that predispose people to situational and developmental problems,
the nature and treatment of those problems,
crisis intervention strategies and
the influence of various family and group dynamics, gender differences, cultural diversity, social problems and age on people's problems.
Students will be trained to conduct intake and assessment interviews, to develop counseling interventions, and to function as an ethical and competent counselor. Students also will acquire a knowledge of research and assessment techniques and the pragmatic concerns (e.g., managed care and budget constraints) facing the mental health field today.
Students will develop the skills necessary to be an effective mental health professional in the new millennium and will have the opportunity to choose areas of special interest, e.g. psychopharmacology, substance abuse, sexual issues, death and dying.
