Overview

The Psychology - Licensed Specialist in School Psychology at Houston Christian University focus on the assessment of student learning, behavioral, and emotional difficulties; consultation with teachers and parents; and intervention with academic, social, emotional, and behavioral problems.

Key facts

Licensed Specialists in School Psychology (LSSPs) are mental health professionals who serve students in school settings as a valued part of the educational team.

The SSP program at HCU is a 60-hour program that is consistent with the requirements published by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council / Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists for the credential of Licensed Specialist in School Psychology (LSSP) and prepares students to sit for the licensure exam.

An added benefit of the MAP-SSP program is that with minimal additional coursework , students can also become eligible for licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). These requirements are subject to change. Graduates can make application to the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (bhec.texas.gov), under the TSBEP and Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors (TSBEPC), respectively.
