Overview

Key facts

The Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at George Washington University emphasizes working with diverse populations and developing strategies to promote the social, emotional, psychological, and physical health of individuals, families, communities, and organizations. The program contributes to human development, adjustment, and change by encouraging our diverse faculty and student body to engage in reflective practice, critical inquiry, civic engagement, and responsible social action.

One of the first programs of its kind, the course of study prepares students to work in social services agencies, employment centers, and substance abuse programs, taking an integrated approach to counseling research and practice.

The course of study includes classroom, laboratory, and field-site education and training. The program includes a two-semester internship wherein interns deliver counseling services, under supervision, both in the program’s Community Counseling Services Center and at health and human services agencies in the community.
