Overview

At Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from University of Pittsburgh our students make several choices that allow them to tailor their education. This includes having the option to explore a range of topics or zeroing in on an area of interest right from the start.

Quick Facts:

Our students choose elective coursework in the areas of trauma and grief counseling, child and adolescent counseling or clinical rehabilitation and disability. Our students benefit from a wealth of clinical training options at over 70 training sites throughout the University, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and across the greater Pittsburgh area, including world class institutions like UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital. Students make these and other choices in consultation with their faculty mentor whose goal is to foster students’ success, growth and satisfaction with their individualized education.
Professional counseling involves applying a range of skills with a diverse array of clients. Our faculty believe that the most impactful way of building these skills is to practice. Our courses involve engaging in extensive video-recorded practice sessions with simulated clients. These “clients” include professional actors, program alumni who give back to the program by acting in this role and course instructors. Video recordings are used to give highly individualized feedback to maximize skill development. We keep our class sizes small (less than 30 students) to ensure that we are able to deliver this intensive training experience.
