Overview
Students learn about the counseling profession and develop therapeutic skills through practical experience, knowledge, and personal reflection.
Program Mission
The professional counseling program believes that well-prepared counselors are involved and committed to a process of intentional growth-promoting pro-social autonomy, lifelong learning, and ethical behavior. These ideals are fostered within a dynamic and multi-modal learning setting in which diversity, critical thinking, self-in-context, scholarship, praxis, and the creation and integration of knowledge are celebrated.
The Professional Counseling (Clinical Mental Health Counseling Concentration) program from Texas State University will maintain the highest standards of counselor education which will continue to garner local, national, and international recognition in providing excellence in academic and clinical preparation for the development of counseling professionals.
