Program Details
Do you want to teach and empower the next generation of mental health counselors? With a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, you’ll be ready to train future clinical mental health counselors or broaden your private-practice credentials. Ideal for students with a nonclinical mental health master’s degree, this specialization takes a deep dive into diagnosis, advanced psychopathology, and psychopharmacology. You’ll examine the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as well as different treatment modalities, diagnoses, and pharmaceuticals commonly used today.
