Clinical Mental Health Counseling
The Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program awards a Master of Arts in education (M.A.Ed.) in Counselor Education. This program is offered on our Roanoke campus. Counselors help individuals change their lives. They work in school and community settings to advocate for individuals, and advance social justice. Because our program is CACREP approved, the 600 hours of internship count toward the 4000 required hours in residency for Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensure. All of our Clinical Mental Health Counseling courses are aligned to meet all course requirements for LPC licensure regulations and the National Certified Counselor (NCC) exam. At the completion of their M.A.Ed. program, Clinical Mental Health graduates will have completed all of the educational requirements for licensure as a professional counselor in Virginia. After graduation, there is a residency period (typically 2-3 years) and an exam to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Counselor Education and Supervision
The CACREP accredited Counselor Education and Supervision Ph.D. Program helps excellent counselors shape the future of the counseling profession through teaching, supervision, advocacy, and research. Our program strongly endorses the researcher-practitioner model. Our students receive a strong foundation in research methods that help them to design and conduct research that can be translated into practice. Counselor Educators and Supervisors are those skilled counselors who supervise, advocate, and teach. Counselor educators support the development of counseling students through direct instruction, as faculty in colleges and universities, and also through the supervision of the work of students and new professionals. Those are central components of ensuring high quality clinical work and protecting the clients who are served by counselors. Counselor educators are also advocates who help to shape the counseling profession, and address issues of injustice and inequity in our schools and communities. Our students have rich and rewarding experiences working in the classroom side-by-side with program faculty, and through teaching and supervising counselors in training.
